Pictures backwards again, so start from the bottom if you want to see in order.
Keeping the house up while she sleeps.
Golf cart ride! Fun until the battery ran out over a mile from the house...
Jason pulls up in his ride and asks me (this is word for word), "Baba, have I ever looked cooler than this?" No, Jason. No, you haven't.
Feeling pretty cool.
Mommy broke down--first time getting mohawks!
Eli choosing some interesting reading on his overnight stay with Grandma and PopPop Bates.
Feeling pretty cool with the shades they bought with their own money.
Waxing Uncle Dete's back because we finished a puzzle...you read that right. Kids loved it.
Great big brother.
Beach vacation with the Ross family!
Kid looks like he's murdered someone every time he eats cherries.
Had to repeat last year's stop. This time, everyone got the icees.
Ran into a door frame at the rental. Pharmacist helping us out with his stash of steri-strips.
Always dancing.
We made it!
Tough guys.
On our way to the beach.
Game day at camp!
Football camp!
Fascinated by the trucks on his new pajamas.
Wild man.
Best buds.
Happy 9th birthday, Jason!
Saturday mornings.
Smiley boy.
Apparently God taught Eli how to do jumping jacks in a dream...
Drew's impression of a dying bird?
Making a video to challenge Uncle Dete and Uncle Pete. Sometimes it takes a few tries.
Football camp
Cheer camp
Apparently been watching infomercials.
This was the definition of a carnival ride. Kids going off the edge at 100 mph. Catch some air. The person running it would slow down the slide by sprinkling her soda on the slide. She said it made it stick when it evaporated. I'm not kidding.
Watched Up recently. Made them ask for everything like they were Russell for the next few hours.
Auntie Ali getting her turn on Uncle Dete's back. Speedo was a nice touch to get a reaction from the family (mostly Lauren).
Can't even remember what the reward was (definitely not something that was worth it), but he literally did this for something like 15 min straight without stopping.
Getting Jason out of bed to go to the bathroom at night is an adventure.
