The Eidson's are Moving!!!

I don't have time to post any pictures but I wanted to make sure everyone knew that we are moving back to GA. Jerry was laid off from his position this past Wednesday at Mid-Continent here in MN. Jerry's boss wanted to know Jerry's commitment to the company and honestly we were planning on getting out of MN as soon as we could! Knowing that, it is very understanding that Jerry was the one laid off. This has been a very quick move, we found out last Wednesday and we are leaving on November 2. That is just a week and a half!!! We are moving to Valdosta, GA which is a little less than an 2 hours from our family in Bainbridge. Jerry's older brother Ben lives in Valdosta with his wife and 2 kids. We are SOOOOO excited to be so close to family:) I will return to work full time until Jerry is able to find a good job in Valdosta. We have mixed emotions, we have really made some good friends here in Marshall and will miss them greatly. However, we will be able to have the new baby close to family and that is worth it all!! Please pray for a safe and quick move and a easy transition. I'll try and post pictures once I get settled in Valdosta.

Always,
The Eidson's

Big Boy Bed

I woke up a couple mornings ago and found Keith in the middle of his room playing with his blocks!! Yes, we have officially climbed out of our crib. He made it almost 2 1/2 years so that isn't too bad. I spent all morning looking for a big boy bed and settled for this one from Walmart. We live in a pretty small town and there aren't a lot of options. But he loves his bed and stays in it during nap and bedtime.
First time in his big boy bed.
Helping Daddy take down his crib.
Daddy brought out the small drill and Keith took out the screws by himself with only a little help from Daddy!
All boy!

Helping Daddy.
All Done!!!


Homecoming Parade

I was watching my friend's kids on Saturday and the homecoming parade was going on so off we went. It went really well considering I had a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 2 year old. They were great and all listened!!
Trying to get a picture with 3 kids isn't very easy!
Waiting patiently for the parade.
So sweet!
They love each other so much
Keith got scared when they started to throw candy so he stayed in my lap the whole parade. But he still had fun.
Watching a soccer game at the local university.

Riding a pony all by himself!
Jada on her pony. Kyan didn't want to ride.
Playing basketball
Jada loved the obstacle course and she beat all the kids she went up against
Sword fighting



Fun Times in the life of a 2 year old

Just some pictures to give you a glimpse into our lives with an active 2 year old! He is growing up to quick sometimes, and becoming so imaginative!
He is showing you his shoes before he hides them.
Keith can play by himself and it seems he never gets bored. Can you find the shoes?
My big boy!
What ya doing cowboy!
Getting onto his horse
Ride it cowboy!
Too cute!


Saying Goodbye!

We had a great visit with my Dad and we were sad to see him go. But, I will be home soon for a visit!
He lost I think over 40 lbs on the trail!!!
What a good picture!
Can you believe everyone is looking a smiling!

Science Museum

While Daddy was here we took him to Sioux Falls to the Science Museum and had so much fun. It is a great place where Keith has fun and so does Daddy and Papa.

Keith exploring
This was a wind tunnel and it simulated what it feels like to be in a tornado!
There faces were so priceless!!
Going fishing

Putting back together the dinosaur

We did it!
An engineers brain at work!

This was pretty cool. It was a bee hive inside the museum and that tunnel led outside. The bees would crawl out of the tunnel and fly away. Jerry, Keith and Papa were really amazed at this one!

Showing Papa how it works!
Jerry playing basketball
Look at that jump shot





Bowling!!!

We went bowling while Papa was in town visiting and we had a BLAST!!! Keith can't wait to go again when we go home to GA, he wants to go with his cousin Grant!
Papa had so much fun with Keith, he hadn't seen him in 6 months since he had been hiking!
My little man!
We used a ramp and gutter guards and Keith actually did pretty good.
I almost lost to my two year old!

He wanted to carry his 8 lb ball by himself!
He would push it off the ramp and take off running to wait for the ball to come back to him!

Daddy and Keith!
