Puppy Love

Thor finally got to bring his puppy home. We picked her out before we left for Hawaii and when we got back home we bought a pen and a house for her. Today they had some time to check each other out.
Wanna go for a ride?
She still needs a name, we're up for suggestions!

Shrimp Truck

On our way to the North Shore we stopped at the famous Giovanni's Shrimp Truck. It was excellent! We signed the truck before we left.

Sea Life Park

On Monday of our vacation we all went to Sea Life Park. After walking in a tunnel around this huge tank, Cayla and Zac and Thor and I got suited up with life jackets and got in the water WITH the dolphins! We got to pet them, kiss them, and 'dance' with them. After lunch Curry, Taylor, and Lisa got suited up and got into another pool with the dolphins. They got to swim with the dolphins by having a dorsal fin ride and a foot push along with all the stuff we got to do. We had a blast at this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Snorkeling

On Sunday we all drove out to Hanauma Bay to go snorkeling and hang out at the beach. This first picture is from the top of the mountain as we were headed down to the bay. This bay is a big snorkeling area because it is a shallow reef. We saw lots of bright colored fish and sea urchins. Thor did some exploring of his own, finding washed up reef rocks. He had a blast!
Thor had been playing in the sand it was sticking to him all over his body. He starting scratching his belly and the sand irritated his skin and he got a rash. So I rinsed him off and covered him with big cousin Zac's shirt. He thoroughly enjoyed walking around the beach in it.

First Days in Hawaii

Well we finally made it home so I will start to catch ya'll up about our vacation. On Thursday the 17th we all drove to Atlanta. Chaille',Thor , and I went to Shepard's Rehab place to visit my cousin Eli. He 's doing better everyday. Our flight left at 8:30 Friday morning and we got to Honolulu that afternoon. After we got to our hotel we ordered pizza and relized we were finally eating dinner at 4 am Bristol time! The next day we checked out of the hotel and walked the streets of Waikiki while we waited on the other Eikeland's to arrive so we could check into the condo. Thor looking out the window of the plane when we landed in Honolulu.
We saw this store by our condo. It is an artists gallery. His last name is Thordason and they call him Thor. He has been an artist for Disney for 18 years.
Thor was glad to see Kayleigh when they met up with us to check into the condo.

Favorite Spots!

With in the past couple of weeks, he has found two favorite spots. One is his birthmark on his belly, along with his belly button. As you can see he tries to get if off all the time.
His second new found favorite spot is in the bay window in his play room. The window is pretty much from the floor to the ceiling so it is easy for him to get in it. He loves to just stand on the ledge and stare outside.

p.s. He is naked because he had gotten in the dog's water bowl earlier and got soaking wet. Since it was close to diner and bath time, and I've been going crazy trying to pack and get everything ready for our trip, I didn't feel like putting more clothes on him.

SHOTS!

Thor had his one year check up yesterday. He got 3 shots and had blood drawn and no Lala didn't do them this time. He weighed 23 pounds and was 30 inches tall. So he has gained 15 pounds and grown 10 inches since he was born!! Here he is sportin' his band-aids.

One year pictures

I took Thor to Mrs. Austin last week for his one year pics. He wasn't willing to smile a whole lot but I think we got some good pics. (If any family member wants to order any pics just email me.)

Pear Pickin'

Thor and I rode the golf cart around this afternoon through the pear trees on the side of the property. And I think he enjoyed what we found! he

Happy 4th!

Yes I bought matching shirts for us for the 4th. I wanted us to have a couple nice family pics. So here's some for ya'll.

Teamwork!

Curry's Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle came to Bristol to grill out and swim with us for the 4th. Thor and Kayleigh had fun playing together. They practiced some teamwork skills has they pushed the leap frog table across the floor.

Knee Pad?

Pop pulled out the knee pads so him and Curry could lay the wood floor in the bathroom. Thor was playing with the knee pads and Pop decided that Thor needed one so he could help!

Sand Box

So it's been a week and a half since his birthday and yesterday he finally got to play in the sandbox and play on the climber that he got for his birthday. He was having fun playing with cousin Zac but when I came back from getting my camera he was done playing.




WHOOAA! That's a long way down!!

First Beach Trip

This past weekend Thor and I went to Ozark with Kelley to meet and visit her family. On Saturday we all went to St. Andrews beach in Panama City. This was Thor's first time to the beach. He loved the sand! Not long after we got there a thunderstorm rolled in and we hung out under a picnic shelter.
While waiting for it to dry up we went ahead and had lunch. Thor's favorite was Cheetos! (if you click on the pic to make it bigger you can see all the cheese on his face!)
After lunch we went back out. He was very eager to get in the water but made sure I was right there with him, holding my finger.
YUCK!!! This water taste nasty!!

The two of us were laying on my float out in the water floating around on the waves. Next thing I know he's asleep. So I carried him up to the beach and laid on my lounge chair under the umbrella. One tired boy!!

1st Birthday Party!

Ok, here they finally are. We had kiddie swimming pools for the babies to play in while Curry grilled the hamburgers and hotdogs. All the kids had a blast.

Renner chillin' with the girls, Shelby and Savannah.
Thor and Maddox having fun in the blow up pool. I think Maddox had the most fun running around and going down the slide.
This is Taylor. Curry works with her daddy. She is only a few weeks younger than Thor.

The Cake!

KISS ME!!

This was his second go around for birthday cake. It took him a little bit longer to get into it because it was so hard and cold from being in the fridge. But he still had fun.

Birthday Chair

I saw this idea in a magazine a few months ago. It was talking about birthday traditions and this one lady said that she has a special chair decorated for each child for their birthday. They can sit in it to eat their birthday meals, cake and ice cream, and open presents. I bought the red chair on the internet and had my friend Leslie (Kye's mom) paint on it for me. It turned out so much better than I had pictured in my mind! I just love it! Thor only sat in it just long enough for us to get a couple pics.
