Happy Birthday Elijah

Elijah had his 1st official birthday today!

Elijah wanted a cake with Transformers, dragons and people on a castle cake. So he got a castle cake and Transformers for his gifts. He had all of his best friends and he's Dad over for his birthday party.

Oh Elijah

On Wednesday I was getting ready for Enrichment when I heard Elijah say" My nose really hurts." So I walked to him and he was picking at his nose. "Maya put two chocolate chips in my nose!" But when I saw his little nose bleeding I just panicked. I call the doctor and brought him right in.

The doctor looked at me and asked if Elijah would really let Maya put things in his nose? I just smiled and said yes! The doctor said" the chocolate chips melted or fell out and he is fine."

Elijah now knows that nothing can or should go into your nose or ears.

Operation

Jeremiah had the day off, so we went to the movies. We got there and it was sold out. Then we went to Target and got we games Operation. We had so much fun that we played for an hour. Jeremiah had perfect score for1 game of operation! I still love this game.

Aaron's 35th Birthday

Aaron came over with his girls, Laura and Kate. We helped Alex with a really hard frog puzzle. I made a gluten free round birthday cake. With bright red frosting, that looked more pink then red. Maya looked like a clown with the red frosting on her nose. We had fun hanging out as a family.
Happy Birthday Aaron.

Alex's Valentine Day Party

Alisa watched Elijah and Maya so I could go to Alex's school party. They had ice cream floats with red pop and decorated sugar cookies. The picture of the cookie was Alex's and the last picture is of Alex's teacher, Mrs. Weaver and me. (ok I took the picture so that is why it is not the best) Mrs. weaver is the best teacher!! This is Alex second year with her. Last year was hard and now we are working together to help Alex. Mrs. Weaver asked me to bring him back for 1 more year. I'm so glad I did.He now can help other students with their work. We are all proud of how well he is doing this year.

Maya Saying Cheese

Missionaries

Tuesday the missionaries came over for dinner. We love having them come over. We are sad that Elder Esselman is going home this week. Maya is going to have a hard time with her "boyfriend" going home. She loves him. She will only go to him and the bishop on Sunday. Good thing I know she'll find a new boy friend.
