Oct. 10- Airshow

For Eli's birthday Jody took the boys down to Sacramento. I wasn't feeling too good because I had gotten sick over break. They had a great time together!

 

Sept. 15- Elijah turns 15

My sweet little boy isn't so little anymore. He's feisty, determined, and hard working. He's loud and full of life. He enjoys mechanic work and freedom outside. I rarely know where he is. (Side eye) We had a simple celebration and he's looking forward to the Sacramento Air Show with his dad and Barrett. We are so blessed to have him as our son. Anything I need, I know I can trust and count on him. He is the ultimate gift giver, full of thought and care... and he always uses his own money on others. If there is leftover from his mini-bike. 

 

Sept. 14- Eli Ranks Up

There is a kid that hero worships Eli and it is the sweetest thing. I hope he always takes care of him.

June 10- Eli's Facebook Marketplace Venture

He's a hustler and getting free stuff off Facebook marketplace, fixing it up and then trying to resell. The only problem is he isn't 18 and got booted.

 

May 17- Eli's Hawthorne CAP Parade

 

Oct. 5- Air Races

Eli volunteered with civil air patrol and got free tickets for the next day! He had a wonderful time getting to film the Blue Angels. He was very helpful and had an 80 year old man twerk near him because he was so excited Eli was stamping him. Jody volunteered as well! It was a very busy two days, but full of excitement!!!

 

Aug 31- Eli's First TIme Flying an Airplane

Eli had his first time flying an airplane from Reno to Minden with the civil air patrol! He did an amazing job and loved it!! He threw up on the ride back because the other 12 year flew a little bumpy. But he really enjoyed being up in the air!! The retired general who took him up was beyond nice!!!

 

July 27- Brick Fest

Papa spoiled Eli and took him to brick fest. Eli loved building a Lego robot and he created the tallest tower at the center. He had a great time with Josh!!!

 

June 11- The Mini Grill

Eli traded his lemonade business for this. A mini grill. Apparently he is working on his new talent. Needless to say in summer we eat better because we have more time.
