Eli's Family

My brother & his family, who now live in Oregon, came to visit earlier in March with their new baby girl Ezra. It was great getting to see them and meeting baby Ezra!

Eli & his Daddy!

Eli & his baby! Mama Les and her new grandbaby!
Christy (Eli's wife) and Arie (their other daughter): beautiful blondes! Not a happy camper!
Happy camper! Beautiful baby girl!

*A dog barks in the distance as I am getting Noah out of the car at mom & dad's. I ask, "What was that?" Noah replies, " Maybe it was Nail (my parent's dog)... or an elephant." Watch out for those wild elephant's in Jackson County!

*"Womens can't drive trucks only mens can!"

*"Momma, can you get me some of those, those, those little, those little slimely, those little slimely face stickers?"

"You want the smiley face stickers, honey?" I asked a bit perplexed.

"Yeah! Those! The slimely face stickers!" (11/14/09)

*"Happy Haunkennah!"

*Maybe we can go to Jesus' house and catch a deer!"
*"Where is Jesus?"
*"Momma, is an octagon in my name?"
*"What song do you want me to sing?" I asked one night at bedtime. Noah said, "'Jesus loves all the kids of the Lord.'" (He meant "Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World.")
*Yelled from the kitchen to the master bedroom: "Daddy, do you wants a baby eggel?" ("eggel" means bagel.)
*"Momma, I think Aunt 'es and Papa have some root beer 'cause I'm firsty. See...my tummy is saying, 'Give me a drink, give me a drink!'"
*"Momma, maybe we can stop and open the door, and a deer can get in. It can sit right there."
(He pointed to the back seat next to his car seat as we were going down the road!)
*"Noah do you want some scrambled eggs?"
"No. I only like cookies ...and popsicles!"
(He commences jumping up and down with every bit of excitement he can muster hoping he gets cookies & popsicles!)
*Daniel and I turn around to look at Noah while he was eating a cheese burger in his car seat. He was holding the hamburger patty with the cheese still partially dangling in one hand, part of the bun was in the other hand, there was mustard, mayo and ketchup all over his mouth and shirt, and the onion and tomato are in his lap. He looks at us and says, "Oh, my Lord!" Hilarious!!!
*"Can you buy me a boy bra?"
*We were returning home from church and Noah spotted a life-size deer target.
"There's a deer!" Noah exclaimed
I respond, "Did you see a deer?"
"Yeah, we need shot that deer!" (Yes, he said "shot" not
shoot!)
*"I made a BIIIIGGGG tower!" This was exclaimed as he encouraged us to come see what he had done in his potty!
Nice...
