Happy Birthday Elijah!


Today is Elijah's fifth birthday and to celebrate we took him and his two good friends Jed, and Ethan, bowling...



Go to get Jed the excitement rises as Elijah and Ethan make silly faces in the back seat. 













Bowling shoes are an oddity to us all, but especially to those of us whom have never gone bowling before.















Little boys must examine everything and there is nothing quite like the mechanics of a working ball machine.  They never cease to entertain.







Bowling is hard work and  always calls for a good cup of gatorade during a long seventh box stretch.









Elijah had a wonderful time with his friends, but I must admit Tyler and I had a great time as well. Between Jed's jokes, and Ethan's brilliant negotiating skills used to acquire M & M's; we both determined that these boys could do a show.  Here is a little bit of narrative to give you an idea of what our afternoon looked like:

Ethan: Your name is Jed? What's your second name?
Jed: idiah

I laughed so hard I thought they were going to throw us out of the restaurant. So here's to birthdays and little 5 yr old boys with their incredible humor, logic and bowling abilities.
