Thanksgiving with cousins! Eli turns 4!

We all went to Helen this Thanksgiving just to do something different with the kids. It was great to spend so much time with Kurt, Ashley, Mom, and the kids!  They were all so excited to spend the night with each other and went non-stop the whole time. We lost count of how many meltdowns occurred...as a group, they are some dramatic children!  It was really a great time and they all were so fun to be around!
The two "babies" ... Gavin is chowing down, June is wondering when her food will come

Enjoying some supper...sweet Gracie smiling at me!

Gavin's new "stance"....so funny!!

My three before we left on the trip. Fun in the tub!!

We ran into Josh and Callie (with Judson and Rylee) in Perry...great surprise!


Checking out the cabin...Eli loves his Gavin

Jay loves him too!

The leaves gave them hours of entertainment






Jay is buried under the leaves while is little entourage watches


Photo taking with the girls


Jay crashes it with his crazy hair

Driving Santa's sleigh in Helen

Gracie and I walking in for a drink

This boy loves his hot cocoa

And loves making silly faces!


The Lamon family riding in the sleigh

All the kids had fun in it too!

June is so in awe about everything around her she can even smile for a picture!
Look at June watching Gracie!

the boys had to climb...even Gavin

Jay made it all the way!






June's first slide in Mimi's lap!

yummy goldfish

Checking out the river



That boys loves to photo bomb

We walked to this waterfall...where Kurt proposed to Ashley several years ago. It was so pretty!

We had to reenact it. Gracie was not impressed.






Pics at Tallulah Gorge

So sweet of Kurt and Gracie

Eli being a goof again

It is harder than you might think to get all five kids to smile at the same time!

far down!
June was tired of the hike!
Back at the cabin playing in the leaves

They were a little team

Bath time!!

June's first meeting with Santa...

Nope, she doesn't like him!

I thought it was so funny that she started Santa right in the eye and cried...she didn't care one bit about hiding the fact that she didn't like him

Now she is trying to figure out why Eli isn't upset too

Snacks made her all better!

The morning we left Jay lost his 3rd tooth!

Back at home, Jay is wrapping June up like a babydoll

She is fine with her book!

Now he is dragging her around the house

so fun!

Doesn't she look so big here!?  She is pulling up on everything and starting to walk along the furniture and push stools around the house

Eli on his 4th birthday!!

This boys is so handsome. He is my laid back one and partner-in-crime while Jay is at school each day. He is his daddy's son...serious, smart, and goofy. He loves fishing with Papa Tim in Steinhatchee and reading books with Mama Ross. He loves going to Wild Adventures with Mimi and always has to go to "Mimi's playground" when we go to Valdosta. He loves all of his family and gets so excited about seeing them, no matter how often. Jay is his best bud. He follows him around all day. He loves being outside and fixing things with his tools. Eli makes us laugh everyday and keeps us on our toes with his questions, arguments, and observations. Our world is so full and fun and unpredictable because of this precious boy!

I love this....so perfect of both personalities.

He bought a scooter with his b-day money from Granny Curry and is so proud of it!

Spiderman party!


We had all of his friends there which he was so happy about!

June likes Eli's birthday presents too!

This is her pointing. She points to everything. And also blows kisses and waves. It charms everyone!

Getting ready to go to Wild Adventures with Gracie and Gavin to finish off Eli's birthday weekend...he was so happy about turning 4 and told everyone, everywhere he went for two weeks!

feeding the birds




love Gavin's face! He is skeptical.

I love June's face here! 

Kurt had the 3 big kids while Mom, Ashley, and I held the little ones

Having a dance party at home. June is trying to get up and dance with her brothers!

Here is our sweet 11 month old!

pointing!

She loves this monthly photo shoot!

This is her favorite book right now. Little Quack Counts. She says, "kack kack!" when she wants to read it. So cute!
