I love celebrating these two.  They bring so much joy (and yes, craziness) to our lives.  I find it hard to put into words the joy I feel as a parent to my four children.  Indescribable joy!  Thats it :)  And these two are bubbling over with joy, and I just can't stand it!  I love that their birthdays are exactly a week apart.  Elon turned 8 on April 17th, and Harper turned 7 on April 24th.  

  

This is what cupcakes look like after traveling in a car for 5+ hours, not to mention the 

huge candle hovering on top!  My mom and I could not stop laughing…don't judge :)

Elon is really growing up.  She knows what she wants, and even more...she knows what she does not want.  That includes what she wears, what she plays, and everything else in her world.  She is super silly, and when she gets the silly's, it is all over with - she can not stop laughing.  Her favorite thing to say is "Can I tell you something?" - and she has A LOT to tell, she never stops talking.  She is the best eater on the planet, I can count on one hand how many foods she does not like (It is so pleasant having such a good eater!).  She is a friend to all.  She is a dare devil and a tom-boy, but she does LOVE everything Frozen (especially Elsa).  She wants to play soccer more then anything, and she wants to be a Fireman when she gets older.  She falls often and the first words out of her mouth is "I'm OK!!!". 

But the best thing about Elon is how much she loves Jesus. 

These two are only 12 months apart and could not be more different!  I LOVE that they have their very own personalities and differences.  I am so blessed to be their mommy and 

thankful for EVERY part of who they are.  

The Lord bless you and keep you,

The Lord make His face shine upon you,

And be gracious to you,

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,

and give you peace.

Amen!
