Caleb's Dedecation

Today was another busy Sunday for the Mullinnix family (I think this is becoming a theme of our little family). We had Church first thing in the morning and then after church instead of Sunday school Thomas and I had our first extended session. Extended session is just another term for nursery duty. Thomas and I got to hang out with the 2 to 3 year olds. We new several of the kids in the class and we had a good time playing with the kiddos.

After Church and lunch we headed down to League City for our Nephew's dedication. Melissa and Jonathan go to a large church so they decided that since there were several babies in their small group that they would do a baby dedication with just their small group, family and friends at their home. A baby dedication is when Christian parents promise to the Lord and others that they will raise their child in the ways of the Lord. To Eli the dedication meant lots of other kids to play with and family member to get attention from!


Uncle Derrill has Eli and I have Caleb.

Of course Eli would be in the middle of everything.


Still in the center.

Nosey little Eli

He's getting a good look at the neighbors yard. I think they have a playscape.

Eli trying to steal Caleb's big blue bear from a little girl, Payton


He's really trying hard.


He was lured away from the bear with the giraffe bean bag


Which he enjoyed dragging around the house.


Still dragging


still going.


This little boy wanted to play with Eli on the giraffe but Eli didn't care for that.


He's taking the giraffe and leaving the little boy.

Still dragging


Uncle Derril decided to tease Eli with the giraffe


Eli did a good job getting the giraffe back


Eli loves his cousin


Eli sure didn't mind sharing the giraffe with Caleb!



Sweet Cousins!


I always love the looks he gives me. I think he thinks I'm his crazy aunt Kristen!


Caleb liked climbing on his giraffe


Eli finally got some time with the big blue bear!


This was interesting. These 2 boys started wrestling and Eli noticed so he decided to jump right on top of the dog pile!


Eli loved the wrestling with the boys.


I'm not sure if the boys relized that Eli was trying to wrestle with them. It sure was cute though.


More Caleb


Sweet cousins










After we left League city we headed straight for Thomas' football games. When we got there I took Eli into the sports building and let him play around on the arcade games. There was a motorcycle game there and he loved it! We would sit on the motorcycle and I would just sway back and forth and Eli would push buttons. I love the fact that Eli gets such a kick out of games and I don't even have to put money in them. I wonder how long that will last! By the time we all got home we were all ready to pass out. It was a crazy busy day but we wouldn't change it for anything!
