New Blog

Martin has been telling me for a long time that the web address of my blog should be something that had to do with our family and not something that has to do with my childhood nickname... so I've finally done it. Our new blog is martinandchelsea.blogspot.com It's about time I changed the blog anyway, I've been wanting to give it a makeover for several months now. So from now on if you want to know what we're up to you can go to the new one :) See you there!

Skipping Christmas for a post or two...

I'm sad to say I don't have a lot of Christmas pictures to share... we were kind of all over the place that day and took pictures on a couple different cameras and I'm not sure where Martin uploaded some of them to, and my sister has my other camera at the moment... So instead of Christmas pictures I just wanted to show off some pictures that I took with the fancy new camera Martin bought me for Christmas! I am sooo excited about all the fun things I'm gonna be able to do with it.

A few SUPER cute pics :)

A few random photos for your viewing pleasure :)

Dad and Eli on old brown (the recliner Martin's parents bought when he was a baby)

Dad and Eli on the first real snow day of the year

Mom and Eli walking through some snow drifts

The tub had a sticker on it that said "do not place child in tub". Naturally Martin placed Eli in the tub.

We love tummy time!! (or at least we pretend we do :)

I put Eli down and when I turned back around I found him underneath his gym... haha he had kicked it over and was playing peekaboo with it. Silly boy!

My tired boys

If it's in his hands, it's in his mouth. 

What a sweet smile :) Love him!

Christmas card pictures...

We ended up using this one of all three of us for our Christmas card this year. We had to take about 20 pictures before we got one of all of us smiling and looking at the same time... haha it was pretty fun in the freezing cold outdoors. oh well :) If I could pick a different one of Martin and I, I would... but Eli looked the cutest in this one so we had to pick it.

A little outdated...

These are some of Eli's 3 month pics. He's almost 6 months now so they're a little outdated already but I thought they would be fun to share anyway :)

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

I don't normally like spiders (AT ALL) but somehow this cute little guy just stole my heart :) And as you can see I finally got him to smile while looking at the camera!! Yes! It's called clicking your tongue and talking in a really high voice... haha for whatever reason he liked it and it worked :)

What handsome boys I've got :)

More Farming Fun

Eli loves tractor rides! It's a good thing too since he's got lots of them to look forward to in the future... haha :) We went out and rode with Martin on the combine the other day. Eli and I had never been on one before, but it was pretty cool, we might even have to go out again before harvest is over. I love watching the corn get sucked down into the chompers (haha I'm sure that's the technical name for them) and Eli loves the bouncing of the combine that puts him to sleep. We both love that it gives us a chance to see Martin since he's never home these days. Tractor rides are great, but we'll be so happy when harvest is done!
