Asher Moved In

Asher and his family has moved in and are staying upstairs.  The kids absolutely love him, especially Eli, he loves him almost too much.  With Riley, it's a love/hate relationship.  She is just two and feels misplaced by a baby playing with her toys, but she loves his toys.
We were at church and Asher was smiling at a little girl almost a year older.  Eli piped in "He's twitter painted."

It's Just Scary

Here Riley and Alexa are showing Grandma Cookie how to use the iPad.  Her reaction was so genuine because she really was fascinated with the technology and that the girls new how to use it.  "These kids come smarter these days." -as she puts it. 

Need I Say More?

Happy Birthday Eli!

Eli has turned 5!  My where has the time gone? Just yesterday, we took him home from the hospital and now he is building Legos, playing with action figures like Ironman and just plane loving life.  I made him an Ironman cake because he loves him.  After making the cake, I asked him how he liked it.  He told me "You didn't follow the instructions."  Oh, well, we ate a few minutes later and then opened presents, which were, you guessed it, Legos!  Happy Birthday Eli!

So Pretty!

Riley got a new dress and she loves it.  I dressed her for church and told her she was so pretty, so did Grandma, Nae-Nae and Daddy.  She knew she was so pretty, that she went into the bishop's office and told the bishopric, before church, that she was so pretty.  They were kind and agreed with her that she was so pretty.

Santa!

Eli and Riley got to see Santa at the ward Christmas Party.  Eli was excited because he knew this year that you ask Santa what you want for Christmas.  Of course, he asked for Legos. Riley was excited because Eli was excited and she wasn't afraid of him becuase he gives candy canes.  She didn't ask for anything in particular, except for the candy cane.

Side note: When Eli was two, he asked for socks and a donut.

Eli's an Angel?

I know what you are thinking.  Eli is an angel! Well he was in the Christmas pageant.  He may have looked like one, but he acted like a little boy who loves to be in front of everyone.  He danced on the stage when he was supposed to hold still (as seen in the picture), he kept waving at Mommy, stomping back and forth and walking too close to the edge of the stage.  He was entertaining to say the least.  Afterword, several member complimented him, holding a giggle.  One member said, when the Koyle's move, Grandma and Grandpa will have to find a way to keep Eli here because they enjoy watching him so much.
