American Idol, Umbrella, Giggles and More

So Eli, like his parents, loves American Idol. Tonight we were watching the top three perform, and Eli in his infinite wisdom, told us that he felt that David Archuleta and David Cook were going to stay. I thought it was cute. His favorite is of course Archuleta, and he only wants to watch him perform. I guess we will find out if he is right tomorrow night.In Other news Oliver and Emerson are 6 months old now. I can't believe it. It has gone by so fast!!!! They both have their two bottom teeth, and Emerson's top tooth is starting to come in. As for moving around, they are on the move, each day coming closer the the big C word (Crawling). Both can push up on all fours, and rock back and forth. Oliver tends to flop forward and do a nose dive into the carpet, but comes up smiling. They are also VERY VERY ticklish, it is so cute to hear them giggle, A LOT!!! I will try and get it on video. They can sit up, but are still unsteady.

Together at their 6 month mark (Oliver in red)

They recently went on their first airplane flight. We had to travel to Oklahoma for my grandfather's funeral. Despite the 4 hour delay all my boys were still all smiles. Eli did get tired after arriving in Wichita, but found comfort on the floor while we were waiting for the rental car. Despite the sad reason for gathering, and being sick the boys got to meet their uncles, aunts, and cousins. It was nice to see my family again although it was only a short and sleepless trip.

Kids truly think of the darndest things. the other day in the car, Eli found the umbrella and promptly opened it in the car while i was driving. After we arrived at home Eli got out leaving both the window and the umbrella open. I just wanted to get the twins upstairs and in bed, so I promised I would come down later and close the front window, Eli's window and umbrella. As it usually happens I forgot, and of course it rained. When I saw the rain, i was reminded of my forgetfulness. So I ran down to the car and closed my window and tried to dry off my seat. Then I went to Elis window, and behold the umbrella was placed nicely over the seat so all the water had gotten on it instead of his car seat. I had a nice chuckle to myself.

Anyway that is the recent happening with us, Hope you enjoyed the stories!!!
