My Eli breaking it down...

Eli loves some Black Eyed Peas in the morning...he really starts to get wild about 1/2 way in. Just imagine if he didn't have the carseat restrictions! LOL

Summer!!!

So happy that it feels like summer around here! The boys have been in the backyard, for no lie, at least 2 hours WITHOUT a screaming fight/tantrum...which is amazing around here. Here they are w/ their jeep...loaded down w/ a sack of marbles, fishing poles, water bottles for hydration, sunglasses and whatever else they can shove in the back. I can just imagine them 12 or so years from now rolling out together in a real car...waaaahhhhh!!!!

New Boat!

We decided to get a pontoon this year since we live so close to the water and were tired of seeing everyone else have fun out there. They finally put the boat in the water at our dock last night, so we took a very impromptu trip out there so Jerome could work on the radio. The pontoon is a "bit" older so it had a tape deck radio and that just was not going to do for Jerome. So anyway, the boys were beyond excited and, yes, they look a bit redneck w/ their pj's and non-matching sweatshirts. I even had to take a little video of Eli breaking it down while Jerome was testing out the stereo...

Goldfish...

Okay, i am really behind on posts...so there might be a couple today.

This is how this went down...Eli really wanted goldfish, I said no because it was almost dinner time. After a brief struggle and and while I was wrestling the box out of his hands...this is what happened. Notice the goldfish in the blonde 'fro too...

Birthday Party

We had a great time at our friend Taylor's 5th birthday today. It was a place called Monkey Joe's, which is a huge bounce house place. Here are a couple pics that my friend Carrie took to the boys. She has a fancy camera that takes great pics, so I had to share. I love the picture of Eli going down the slide!

Boys

Recent conversation heard in the living room:

Caden: OW!!! Eli kicked me in the face!

Eli: Well, why you leave your teeth open?

Caden: Well, you shouldn't kick people in the face!

Eli: Well, you should close your teeth.

Disney

Well the Adams Family traveled to Disney again this spring, and I do have to say it was the best and smoothest trip to date. We were incident free even going thru the airports and I honestly cannot remember one major meltdown any day at the parks. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, which was awesome. The hotel rooms face the "savannah" where all different kinds of animals roam free. We would go out on our little patio and have giraffes, zebra, antelope, buffalo thingys, all right next to us. The boys LOVED it. They also enjoyed that the rooms had bunk beds so that was pretty cool too. Jerome took no lie probably 200+ pictures, but I have narrowed it down to a few of my favorites. The BEST part of the trip is that Eli finally is 40 inches tall and that opened a new world as far as rides. Pretty much the boys could almost every single ride there....and we forced them too. Caden was out little scaredy cat and we would definitely have to bribe him to do the scarier ones, but Eli loved them all. Caden's short list of questions everytime we brought up a new ride was this: Are they going to turn out the lights? Does it go fast? What will be my prize if I go on it? I started bring toy cars from our hotel room and sticking them in a disney sack for recycled "prizes". Anyway, enjoy the pictures and sorry I haven't updated lately!

Love, Lacey

Just arrived at the hotel, having a late dinner before bed...Thumbs up, we are excited!

The view off our hotel room patio...

A rare moment...

Caden & Tigger

Eli & Piglet

He looks like Grandpa Ringger...oinery smile and breaking the rules getting behind the rope

The boys in their bunk beds...

Caden loved his new goggles so much, he was convinced he needed them in the bathtub too

Jerome & Caden getting ready for the next ride...don't you think they look alike here? Well, except for the blonde hair & light skin, of course!

Disney really must be magical, because I can't believe how much they are hugging in these pictures!
