Motorcycle

Eli was so excited that he got to go on a very short motorcycle ride up the driveway at my mom's house. I thought the pictures were really cute, especially the one of him in the helmet.

Goodbye Tulips

Well at first I thought it was so cute that Eli would pick me a flower and then spend a great deal of time carrying it around and smelling it..

until I came back around the corner to find him doing this....

He picked every single petal off of every tulip. Oh well they don't last nearly long enough anyways, guess I should be glad he enjoyed them too!!

Family Pictures

We finally got our family pictures taken, we've been trying since Christmas but this was the first time everyone was together and dad was feeling well enough to be there. My grandparents were even out that weekend. I was a little worried that Eli wouldn't be good, but for the most part he was very cooperative. I think the pics were worth the wait...

Eli's new best friend

Eli has his first best friend, it's our neighbor boy, Mason, who is about 14 years old! He comes over every afternoon after school and they ride bikes or play basketball. He loves riding on Mason's bike and when dad comes home to play bball with them. When I take Eli outside he says Mas? I think it is the cutest thing. I'm just worried about July when Mason and his mom are moving to Kentucky...I think Eli will be a little sad.
