Where did the time go?
My baby boy came into this world at 4:56 p.m. on this day 9 years ago. He was a big 8 pounds 5.8 ounces and 20 1/4 inches long. He was actually born with red hair which didn't last long. He turned snowy blonde soon thereafter. I sat awake with this little guy the entire night that he was born. He was starving and just wasn't getting happy with him mom.
Down below are just a few pictures to cover our Elijah David's life over the past 9 years. Eli was the most trying baby I have ever endured in my entire life. He was sick a lot! Once I quit my job and started keeping him at home and he got well he turned into this funny little toot. I don't know what I would do without him in my life. He is our baby, our last. He made our family whole. He actually made the decision that there would be no more siblings. Have a child with severe colic, milk allergies and gastric reflux disease and I assure that he/she will determine that for your family too!
Eli, Mommy loves you to the moon and back again.


















Crawling around in the dirt at daycare, he was right around 1 year in this picture
















This picture actually has a really cute story behind it. I obviously had already bathed Eli and gotten him ready for bed. I was then giving my 4 year old Jordan a bath and ran to get a towel when I returned to this. I guess he decided he wasn't done.











This picture was taken of Eli right after we brought him home from the hospital after he had salmonella.




He loved playing dress up











And if you can't tell his paci was his best friend. He finally gave it up at 4 years 7 months.


This is when he figured out he was funny and we have been in trouble ever since.











Eli and his life long best bud. She is 1 month older than him and they live across the street. I started keeping her when they were about 15 months. The 2 have been inseperable since.




Trouble I told you!
Beautiful!
Fun with Ronald!

These last 2 pictures are of Eli at 8 years old.

Here is my buddy with his buddies at his friends farm! Tobey's parents are wonderful and invite the entire elementary school out to their farm twice a year. They grow a pumkin patch for them in the fall and supply all eggs and candy for them at Easter. This is just amazing to me!

Week 2 (this should have been posted Monday , but it's just been one of those weeks) As all of you know I have been dieting and exercising like a mad crazy woman. OK maybe not that bad. I actually just decided that I had to make some major lifestyle changes, to improve my health, my body, and along the way my spirit just jump on for the ride. Anyway today was weigh in day and I have lost 11 pound this week, that was not a typo I did say 11 pounds. I could not believe my eyes when I stepped onto the scales. I actually would get on and off and the on and off just to make sure they were working right. That make 13 pound total so far. I can't believe it, it feels great. I love the way I feel after I've exercised, it's like it empowers you or something. Over the weekend I decided it was time to clean out my storage room and I had found some clothes in there that I had actually put up to take to some of my cousins because I had outgrown them. After 13 pounds of fat gone I ca...

Peace, Quiet, Stillness and yet why can't I enjoy it..... It's Sunday morning and I have sent my family off to church is why... I am so suppose to be with them but after the last few day I know that I cannot sit through Sunday School and then morning worship.. My body for one is so sore and stiff it would never make it. I feel like a old lady( no offense to anyone out there but this is for the birds). Secondly I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and I believe that would be quite embarrassing. So I sent my Hubby and boys off this morning without me. I knew I had a great husband but he has really proved himself over the last few days (not that he had to). I had my hysterectomy on Thursday morning and so not to interrupt the boys schedules to much I got up early that morning and went over and had my mom drive me to the hospital. Donnie stayed home so he could get the boys off to school and he got to the hospital in plenty of time before I went back to surgery. He and mom were the f...

I'm amazed at the difference. So I finally got a new scale and I have actually lost a total of 17 pounds over the past 6 or 7 weeks. Some have wanted to see the difference and here ya go the top picture was taken in May at Eli's birthday party. The bottom picture was taken 3 days ago at Sea World with the boys. Boy am I glad I lost the weight and started exercising I never would have been able to do what we have done this week without having done that. The river walk, Sea World, The Natural Caverns, & The Wildlife Ranch. It was all really nice I'll post more picture of our adventure later. Love to all. Beverly!
