Having a little fun . . .

John and Malik enjoying the unexpected snow we got on Sunday, February 25. What a great time playing in the snow!

This is Mikayla enjoying the snow - notice the snow ball she has in her hand ready to launch at me.











A picture of our little guy all bundled up in the snow.












Elijah decided to bring out his car for a spin in the snow.

Now he is mowing . . . the snow:-)

John and I all dressed up for our Valentines Dinner Dance hosted by our church. We had a great time.

Here is Fletcher having fun in all the balls!

Malik was voted boy of the year. Which is awarded to a child that has excelled in academics and plays more than one sport. Malik is a super star in our books and we are so proud of him!! Mary looks on proudly as Malik poses with his medals!

A picture that I just ran across that I love. John with his Dad and brother Bill. They are on their annual fishing trip.

A Glimpse of our little Guy . . .

All clean and ready for bed! In parenting we all take on our roles and one of John's is taking our little guy a bath. I can't even remember the last time I gave Elijah a bath but I'm still the best photographer.

Our little guy having fun with cousin Fletcher.

Cousin Fletcher in his cool shirt . . . Big and Bad:-) It should say . . . I'm TOO CUTE!! Elijah loves going over to play with Fletcher. The other night we were trying to figure out what he was saying and it was . . . Fletcher!

Cousins Taylor and Christian hanging out on the stairs. We had taco night and the boys watched the game while the kids played. Hmm . . . the tacos were great but perhaps Aunt Jeana should stay away from making rice pudding . . . it was a tad dry to put it kindly:-)







Elijah got this hummer for Christmas from Uncle Chris and Aunt Libby. He LOVES this truck but he has to be supervised if he uses the remote. The other night I was chatting on the phone and I heard a crash. He had drove the truck off the step landing into the wall . . . Daddy had a fun time painting the wall from the black skid marks. Elijah on the other hand was laughing hysterically . . . wonder where he gets that sense of humor from:-)







Taking a break on his favorite seat at the bottom of the steps.

























Thought I sneak a picture in here of my girlfriends and I out at Bonefish. We always have an AWESOME time when we are together. Lots of chatter and plenty of laughter!

Elijah is so proud of his creation. Look at that smile!









Every time we go to our grocery store (Harris Teeter) here in our neighborhood Elijah has to get a balloon and a cookie. If I go to the store without him I still end up with a balloon and a sugar cookie for him. The clerks ask for him by name now! That is one of the joys of living in our community is the great people who also call Stone Ridge home. Even at the cleaners - they ask for Elijah by name and if I have too many clothes to pick up (thanks to John:-) they put them in the truck for me and always ask to hug our little guy.





Hanging out with Dad (who Elijah insists on calling Day) eating his favorite snack - Apples! We know Elijah can say Daddy but he insists on calling John . . . DAY! We love it!












Hanging out with Aunt Annette, cousins Taylor and Christian.

Mother relaxing and sharing a laugh! Elijah loves his GAMMIE!!! We sure do miss her here at the house but enjoy visiting often with Uncle Chris, Aunt Libby, Fletcher and of course Gammie!!

Look at Beautiful Mikayla. I love this picture of her. What a Cutie!! She loves taking pictures.

My Sisters Libby and Annette.

Look at Malik here trying to look so COOL! We are so proud of our Honor Roll nephew who is also a star athlete. He excels at both and we couldn't be PROUDER! Go MALIK!!!

They are so darn CUTE . . . Yes, I'm a bias loving Aunt!!!
