Here are just a few of Elliott playing with his friends.

Building like Daddy

For for the past month, Wes has been working on fencing in out Patio and also building a BBQ cover. Last Sunday, Elliott decided that he wanted to build like daddy. Here are a few pictures.

First time in the big pool

So I think that swim lessons paid off. He is no longer hating the big pools. We went swimming one day at our friends house and he loved it. He is riding in his turtle floaty that he got last year for his birthday and hated. He loves it now!

Birthday trip to the Zoo

This is now the closest that we will ever get to the Walrus


He is such a cutie!

Watching one of the last Whale shoes. This has always been a highlight for Elliott. It is sad to see them gone. Can you tell who Elliott is the most like?

Elliott turns 2!

I know that I am a week late but better late than never. So my little baby is now 2. I can not believe it. We had a wonderful birthday weekend. His birthday was on a friday so Wes took the day off and we decided to have a family day. We went to the zoo, along with every school in the state of washington it seemed. It was still fun. Elliott always talkes about the Walrus, so we went to see it first and again, the Walrus came up and made it's noise and Elliott got scared and ran away. Later on that day he wanted to go a see the Walrus and we reminded him that as Elliott puts it "Walrus Load!" Again he wanted to see it. So off we go and agian he for scared. I am not sure what it is all about but it is pretty cute to hear him talk about the Walrus. After the Zoo, we headed to the store to let Elliott pick out his birthday toy. He is really into tractors lately, not sure where this has come from but it is pretty cute. So he got to pick out his tractor. I love that my husband is willing and able to take time off to spend with his little man on his birthday. Elliott loves his daddy! After nap we had a party for him where he got a lot of art supply stuff. His is really into coloring and stickers so it was a perfact gift. Saturday was the Big family party. We had the best time and the best weather. we are so blessed! So all in all, we had a perfact 2nd birthday weekend. We will post pictures as soon as we unload the camera.
