Elton Is 5 Years Old!

Elton is a 5 year old! This past Saturday we had his party with a few friends from school. Seems like Elton is a ladies' man as 4 out of the 5 kids that came were girls! The little girl with her arm around Elton is "Miss" Savannah. Elton and her have known each other since they were about 18 months old.

The top picture shows the gift we got Elton. It is his "gadget" bag and was stocked with items like a measuring tape, flashlight, diary (or diarrhea as he refers to it), lock & keys, carabiner watch and some other neat gadgets. He absolutely loves it and hates to leave it home. There was also a bible inside as he has been wanting his own. We got him an Adventure bible since he is our little adventurer.

He is starting to read in Pre-K and it is hard to believe he is registered for Kindergarten in the fall. Right now he is gone with Dan to Fred Meyer's to find himself a new slingshot with birthday money from Grandpa and Grandma Bonnes. Between his gadgets and weapons he is a busy little boy, but tells me on a daily basis how much he loves me and always has hugs and kisses for me. Whenever he goes to school he tells me he is going to make a surprise for me and his teacher says when he is making or doing something that his mom is going to be so proud of him!
