This Past Year With Elijah

Eljiah has been very a busy boy. He has discoverd that playing is sand is fun and getting dirty is very cool (no matter what mama might be thinking). This fun sandy day was a day out on the boat and private beach in Lewiston, ID. We had a blast that day - he loved the boat ride and the sand castle making contest!

For the first time both kids got to experience an egg hunt. This particular egg hunt was held at the church. Both kids had a blast with this. Had to include this picture, because really: How handsome is my Boo!

Elijah quickly has become an expert train driver - we have had numerous hours of fun playing with Geo Trax and the major geotrax haul daddy found on craigslist!

Playing a little B-ball with daddy!

Hiding under the bed covers with sister!

Look at my two Big Studs! How can one lady get so blessed?!! This was taken at the Seattle Flight Museum. What a fun experience we had with Aunt Donna, Uncle Rich, and Cousin Tim! Thanks for the fun afternoon guys! Woot Woot!

Ok, this was an awesome picture I took while we were camping at Sam Owen. Is he not just absolutely adorable here?!!!

Out of order? Yes, but oh well! This Elijah and Cousin Tim getting ready to fly! Be careful boys! And wear your seatbelts!

This was his first real experience with snow. Finally old enough to really appreciate it!

Elijah's Christmas present this year (2011) was an ATV that momma, nana, Aunt Amber, and Mrs. Destiny stood around for (among some other fun items) at Walmart for over an hour on Black Friday. Turns out this ATV had to right back where it came from after we realized that the battery would not hold a charge. Big bummer. Still waiting for a good sale to replace it. Sorry Boo, but you'll get another one! Bad Walmart! Or bad company that made the ATV!

Elijah in training to take over mowing the lawn! Woot Woot!

Elijah finally got brave enough to go down the water slide at Triple Play all by himself! I really was so proud of my little guy!

Big Boy Bed Time! Woot Woot!

Truck driver in training? This was during our trip to seattle - we went to the Childrens Museum in Factoria.

Elijah is learning to ride a two wheeler - he's getting pretty good at it too!

This past winter we signed Elijah up for Soccer Tots. Daddy and Elijah had a great time kicking around the soccer ball and playing the games coach had planned! My handsome boy - can't wait to really watch you play on the field!

And, last but not least Elijah's first time on skates. He was also the last to take them off and decided he wants a pair of skates for his birthday. We'll see little Boo!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the short tour of Elijah's past year (2011-2012 with a smattering of 2010). Come back again as I start to highlight our lives from the here on out!
