Mrs. Hupe (one of the 1st grade teachers) came to the boy's game. The 3 shown in this picture are in her class. 

 Mrs. Hupe was nice enough to take a picture with Elijah too.

That is Mrs. Dupin in the background, also know as "The Best Teacher in the Whole World"

 Byron got to go on the field trip as well :)



The below pictures are of the pool that we are having put in. 

Elijah IS 7

At 4:44 on November 21, 2008 this miracle was born! It is so hard for us to believe that he is now 7 years old. Time needs to slow down. Elijah, mommy and daddy love you more than we can ever express to you in words. You completed our lives and our hearts. We thank God for you every day!

 

Present time, in the morning, for this birthday boy!

Byron added the lights to the bow, and of course, Elijah liked it a lot.

 Now he can watch movies in his room

 Elijah wanted to go to Bravos for his birthday lunch. He LOVES their green dip!

Later that evening, it was cake time

Happy Birthday Elijah!

Side Note: This year for Elijah's birthday, things didn't go like we had planned. The night before, Byron broke his ankle. So on Saturday, he was in a lot of pain and needed to stay off his foot. But we both were amazed by Elijah's great attitude that day. He kept smiling, doing his thing, didn't complain and helped take care of his Daddy. We are truly blessed to have a kid with such a caring heart. 

Elijah's 7th Birthday Party

This year Elijah wanted a Lego themed birthday party, so that is what we did. :)

We held the party at our house, even though we had pool construction going on. Probably not the best move, but we made it work. Elijah was very happy that his Nana and Pawpaw could be at his birthday celebration this year.

 Time to make your own Lego. Thank you Daddy for all of your hard work!

Each child got to take home his/her own Lego.

 Present time

Elijah got a lot of very nice gifts but these cap guns were his favorite!

These are the Legos Byron made for the party.They could create a solid color one (green, yellow, red, & blue) or a multi-color one.

Pumpkin Carving & Halloween

This year both Elijah and Byron carved their own pumpkins.

Elijah's is on the left. Byron's, on the right.

 Elijah made this sign for our yard. 

This year Elijah wanted to be an western sheriff. 

He did go trick-or-treating more this year than last year. But he also still enjoyed handing out the candy.
