Eli is 15 Months

Our silly boy is now 15 months old.  He is much more mobile now.  He finally can walk.  He loves to follow his bothers around and try to keep up.  
Here he is sitting, just chatting it up, with Chloe
He also climbs up anything he can. When he gets to the top he just sits there with this look of pure satisfaction, like he's the king of the world.
This is how I found him one morning.  This is what I get when I leave the kitchen during breakfast time.

Summer Fun

Summer consists of a few things.  Mostly its time outside in the water or mud.

We like to go to the park.  Beau and Eli would spend their whole lives on the swings if I would let them.
Eli's goal was to see how messy he could get when he went outside.
We also spent several afternoons at the pool and a few on a boat in the river.


We even went to the splash park once.


We went to the library's summer reading programs and activities.  We did lots of painting, gluing and coloring.  Micah and Beau loved it.
They made lots of forts and slept in tents
We even went camping for real a few times. Luckily, we were only about 30 min for our house and baby and I went home for some real sleep.
We improved our bike riding skills and the older boys loved to go down a few of the "mountains" (really just a steep driveway) by our house
We also played a little tennis.  Which usually consists of them throwing the balls at each other and hitting their rackets on the ground, over and over.
We did spend time inside.  Usually running around and wrestling.  Beau also did puzzles and Micah built planes and guns with the Legos.

Mt McKinley

Mt McKinley
This is the tallest point in North America. It is 20,300 ft tall. The lake in this pictue is only around 2,000 ft.
