Eliza Claire is 2!

On Mother's Day we went to the park. A nice little family outing. Eliza had a great time.... As you can see by her sliding.What you may not see, is the blur to the right of the yellow tunnel...

That would be Trey climbing out!

and of course, there is only one way down.

We spectators thought that was very funny.

We have joined the gym again and have been going pretty regularly, even if it is just to play by the pool!

EC is sunning with Miss Hazel, just like the big girls.

I think she ran Hazel off.... hogging the chair!
Ethan is getting closer to sitting up, but still lacking the desire. He is happy in the chair.

EC loves her Bubby

and her fish

this shows a completely different scene.

Girls night out to the Better than Ezra show at the Beau Rivage, so fun. Thanks girls!

Me and Gay getting ready for the party. Blue's Clues everywhere.

even her house

Yummy cake, Thanks Sue!

Sawyer loves his Godmother. He got Eliza Claire a vacuum so she could help me out!

Uncle Mike got her a big girl bike, now I can build muscles pushing her around the house :),

Sawyer likes it too!

Michael and Viv all dressed up and going to a wedding.

EC was still up and ready to play when they got home.

The day after the party, a new one began... a WORK party.
While others worker, some played.

and danced...

Then everyone began looking for ways to cool down.

Finally, it began to take shape.
Eliza Claire was one happy birthday girl!

We spent Memorial day playing by the pool.















We celebrated Eliza Claire's actual birthday with take out Olive Garden and cupcakes.




We all made sure she wanted earrings, and understood what was happening.




and here is the face after the first ear..
and after both..
Now she has candy... all is well.


At 6 months old Ethan is quite the lazy boy. We finally proped him up and he stayed there for a bit. This is the best he has done. He really has no desire to sit up. He wants Mama to just hold him ALL THE TIME!
