Eli's birthday and mothers day

Eli turned seven years old and is becoming to be such a big boy! He is so sweet and smart! He loves to read and make to do lists. He'll make a list on what games he is going to play and once he has completed that item, he crosses it off and moves to the next. He always has little action figures near by that he is using. And he gets very possessive of his pile of toys being touched by his younger sister, Jordyn.

His birthday wasn't a very conventional one. Jared had a scout campout and so Eli went with him. Eli loves hanging out with the older boys. He loved being able to run ahead on the GPShunts that the scouts did and sit near the fire. Afterwards, they went to Kenzie's volleyball game and then went to Walmart to pick out his presents. He choose bayblades. It kind of like a tops game. Then they went to grandma betty's house and had tacos, his favorite! ( I was gone all day judging a Jr Miss program in Soda Springs, ID. That was fun too.)

The next day was mothers day and so we shared the day together but i had Eli blow out the birthday cake candles and sing to him. We had my special ham dinner and enjoyed having my sister, Sharon, and her family over.
