You love your little sister, all animals, dinosaurs, superheros and most of all BASEBALL! I cannot wait to see what God has in store for you this next year. Keep Shining my love, keep shining!!

When we are home on Saturday mornings, Eli loves to bake with me -- and I love to bake with him. We typically make blueberry muffins and poached eggs. He is such a great helper, and loves to pour all of the ingredients together. I love these moments with him!
Going down memory lane 3 years ago. Hard to believe was a 5lb bundle of love. So tiny and sweet.
I asked Derek to make a #3 pancake, normal size. I did not think it was a difficult task, but apparently Derek wanted to make this 3 Extra large and special - lol!
Sweet boy picking flowers for his mama. He still loves his parks and adventure walks.
Like mama like son ... first tennis racquet in the books and going strong.
I love birthday interviews!!
Because everybody needs a birthday cupcake before you go to school.
This is my all time favorite. Eli is awesome and singing away, but look at Miss Everley in the back. Just crying for some attention right about now. I laugh every time!
Eli loves to paint. When in doubt, give him painting tools and this guy is happy.
Spiderman!
We went to the Safari out in New Braunfels for his birthday weekend.
My little gardener still going strong.
Our fun beach trip to Port Aransas!
Loves feeding the seagulls and ultimately chasing them!
I had no idea he took these. Eli's first selfies in the books.
