Elijah LOVES to sing and sings all the time! It's so cute to hear him "sing" in church. He amazes me how often he sings on tune, for such a young child. He sings "Jesus Loves Me" all the way through. He LOVES microphones because he saw all of his family using them during 4 months of our deputation. After our services he would go and get a microphone and start "singing" too! =)
~Sarah was a huge help in blowing up all the balloons that we used to decorate for Elijah's birthday.~
~A happy Elijah eating his birthday lunch.~
~Our family enjoying yummy Skyline chili.~
~We were debating what to put on Elijah's cake. A microphone, "Jesus Loves Me" and music notes, or an airplane. He loves Jay Jay the Jet plane book. When he sees an airplane in the sky he'll say, "Bye-Bye Jay Jay Airplane!" =) So, we decided to do a Jay Jay on his cake. Our family prefers lighter/less sweet icing, so I used Cool whip and vanilla pudding. I was going to decorate the side of the cake, but the icing was too soft. Here, Phillip is planning to start drawing Jay Jay airplane on Elijah's cake.~
~Phillip did a GREAT job in-spite of the icing being too soft to really be a "decorator's icing." When Elijah woke up, he was soooo excited with his Jay Jay airplane cake.~
~His gifts on our piano and music stand.~
~I just missed him blowing out his 2 balloon candles.~
~He LOVED this noise maker. The only problem was that he could only blow it hard enough to make it go out, but not make a noise. So, he would just HUM in his. =)~
~Opening his gifts.~
~His little "Jay Jay airplane" that plays music. (It wasn't really Jay Jay, but he calls ALL airplanes, "Jay Jay.")~
~His guitar. He LOVES music. Now, he strums his guitar while singing, "Jesus Loves me."~
~His face after enjoying some yummy cake.~
~The boys all dressed up on their way to church last Sunday.~
~Here they have a custom that when you have a birthday, you come up front and they sing to you and pray for you. I was behind them playing "Happy Birthday and cracking up because when they clapped for Elijah, he clapped too.~ =)
~Farly got me this pretty red sweater for Mother's day. Here I am with Farly on my left, and her Mom on my right.~

Happy birthday to little Elijah! He's so cute and I have a feeling his little personality would blend quite nicely with Kent. Blessings on you...
Elijah must have felt special with all the birthday joy his family made for him. Phillip did a great job on his cake. We are having a wonderful time with these kids in AK. Vonnie was going into Fairbanks and I sent the money with her to get these little boys some "healthy cereal" like coco puffs and apple jacks from Gramp and I. One of the twins made a "grocery list above his Mommy's computer with a list of these cereals for her to get. They are so cute. If you all were here I would do the same for you. ;-) W-e-l-l Keith is not exactly a little boy but it is fun treating him special too. Love, Gram
