Crazy Waddell Christmas in November 2008

This year the Waddell Clan decided to celebrate Christmas in Novmeber. This is for many reasons; Thomas is going to be gone on a mission to Illinois at Christmas, The Waddells are obsessed with the holidays and it was Joy's best excuse to get out the holiday decor early!!! We had a festive outfit contest which Shannon won hands down with her jingle bell sweater!! I wonder what the Waddells will come up with next???...

Beary cute!!

Auntie LuLu and Eli

Eli loves his auntie Lulu and wont let anyone else touch his hair. She makes haircuts fun and lets Eli eat snacks if he is being good. He loves standing up in his highchair and looking around. One time we took Eli to her salon and he kept trying to hug her, she had to stop in the middle of the haircut and hold him. He wanted to snuggle with her so bad!! Thanks auntie Lulu!! xoxo

They see me rollin'.....

This is Eli on a typical day...just hangin' with mommy. Chillin' with cartoons on and Chasin' Voodoo dog around the house. Voodoo knows to run when he sees Eli getting anywhere near him, it is the funniest thing to watch!!

Splish Splash!!

Eli loves to play in water, he is just like his father! They are both part dolphin!! Each night Matt gives Eli a bath before bed. He and Eli play and play and splash and splash and most days Matt gets as wet as Eli even though he is not even in the tub! Here is a peek into bath time!!

Bounty Hunter for Hire!!

Our neighborhood is safe now. Sunday we met Jason "the killer" while he was riding through the community. Although the young girls across the street were not intimidated "we are not the dork riding around the neighborhood in a stupid mask!" we think strangers may be! This four foot bag of fury is on the loose. I dont know if we should be excited or scared...

Eli Wheelin'

Eli got a new ride for his Birthday. He loves to cruise the living room and kitchen, looking for a good time. He hopes to one day run into a young hottie who likes to ride too!

Cousin Claire's Birthday party!!

Last weekend we went to Cousin Claire's first Birthday party! It was great to see so many of our favorite faces and catch up with everyone! Claire wasnt so sure about the whole cake thing at first but caught on really quickly once she tasted the frosting!! She was very clean about it, making sure not to leave even one little taste of frosting on the tray!! Eli enjoyed playing with her new toys as much as she did! Happy Birthday Claire!! xoxo

Family Pictures 08

We had family pictures done at Eli's one year mark! We went to a park nearby and my good friend Robin took our pics! She did a really great job even though it was freezing and Eli kept squinting from the cloudy weather! These are our favorites.

My buck is bigger than your buck!!

Last month Matt went black powder hunting and shot a white tail 3 point buck. Eli and I joined him for a few days. It was beautiful in Lyle, lots of trees changing colors for fall. We took our tent trailer and stayed really warm thanks to Gregg and his obsession with tarps and heaters. Matt and I have been going back and forth about putting a picture of the deer Matt shot on the blog. I say NO dead animals and he wants to know "why not?". We decided to compromise and put up this picture off the internet.By the way, deer meet is really good cooked in BBQ sauce!!

Cake Eater!!

Eli's First Birthday!!

Eli loved his costume birthday party! The kids looked adorable in their cute little costumes running around playing. Eli dressed up in his Seahawk outfit. He loved his football cake and threw a huge fit when daddy tried to help him get a better hold of his huge bite!! Eli has 11 teeth now and is pulling himself up the furniture...watch out!! He loves to feed himself and is doing pretty good with a sippy cup as long as someone is helping him! Eli is the best thing that has ever happened to Matt and I and we are very grateful for him.

Busted!!

Yesterday I left Eli alone and ran to go get something, when I returned I found him getting into Voodoo's dog dish and helping himself to some chow. I knew that someday he would try this trick but I had no idea it would be this soon. Eli is growing up so fast. He has 6 teeth now and loves to eat food more than have his bottles now. He will be a year old on the 26th!!

More pics!!
