seven is a good age

Happy 7th Birthday Elijah.

Elijah was our first born and like most first borns he was absolutely adored and given all of the attention for his first three and a half years. He was the first one to have the cute curly hair and to have all of the ladies in the ward in love with him. He was the first Mr. Cool with all the teenagers. And since he is such a sweet boy when his little brother Andrew came along he didn't mind sharing the limelight at all.

He's really smart, silly, and very kind hearted. He just wouldn't know how to say anything mean to anyone. When he grows up he wants to be an archaeologist or a geologist or a volcanologist.

I love you Elijah. It's a tough job being the oldest, but you are doing a really great job at it. I can't wait for all of the adventures we're going to have together.




Being 7 is great fun.

Scripture study lessons...

Andrew: "Who is the Holy Ghost?"

Mike: "He's like Heavenly Father and he helps you know that Jesus loves you."

Andrew: "Does he have powers?"

Mike: "Well, yes, he does."

Andrew: "Who does he fight?"

Mike: "Uhh..."


Why are my boys so violent?

T'he day I lost my camera...

I don't have any images of Elijah because he was way down the creek...
