E'lan is 34 & Joshua turns 7!

Where does the time fly.  We are in our mid thirties now?  What happened and when did I leave my 20's?   E'lan is aging quite beautifully if you ask me.  He got some ties, a book about prophets and the White House, and teeth whitening for his bday.  It was a fairly uneventful day other than cake for breakfast - I spent 2 hours in the early morning making a white cake with orange cream cheese frosting per his request.  Sadly, He only got to eat 1 piece...we devoured subsequently for lunch and dinner, and breakfast again, hahaha.  We went to a wedding that night and danced - which was a bonus :)  He was a good sport about going on his bday.  Then we had Joshua's party.  In the morning when he woke up to a decorated house like normal and he got his present from us first thing - a RED motor scooter, then we went to Krispy Kreme for his free doughnut, a new bday outfit from the mall, a ride on the carousel, then home for a nap.  He stayed up til midnight the night prior at Grandma and Grandpa's on the 4th.  So, we made sure he was rested so as not to be grumpy at his party that night.  We took him and 8 friends/family to Golfland.  He got an hour of playing all the arcade games he wanted, then a round of mini golf.  His cousin Freddy got to spend the night.  They giggled till crazy hours of the night.  It was a great day for him...for me.  I cannot believe he is 1 year from being baptized.  1 page at a time and he will read the Book Of Mormon by next bday:)
