My little stud...

Here is my sweet little Elijah- what a stud!! He just makes me so happy when I look at him. He seriously has me wrapped around his little fingers- and my heart is his. I took these pictures a couple of days ago- and thought I would share. His birthmom is a HUGE basketball fan- so these were for her. Maybe a premonition of things to come?...or maybe just DANG CUTE!!!

I LOVE this picture. These three are the loves of my life. The three most important people in the world. The ones that I live and breathe for. It just makes me so happy when I look at it. Life is just good.

The Viewer said...: Hey Shannon, so what agency did you go through?; February 11, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Shannon said...: We went through A Guardian Angel. They were WONDERFUL!! And literally- there are SO many more babies available then with LDS family. Especially if you are not picky with gender or race. It is a little bit more up front than with LDS family- but there are SO many different reimbursements and credits out there. Call me and we can talk!; February 11, 2009 at 1:43 PM

2/5/2009- "Mom did you know that I went to Barney's wedding?" Me: "Oh Yeah... who did he marry?" Kenna: "Handy Manny." Me: ?!?!?!
12/18/2008-I was laughing about some stupid thing that I read and Kennedy looks up at me and starts laughing too- then she says "Oh mom! You silly old goat!" What?! That made me laugh even harder.

12/7/2008- Kenna was a little distracted at prayer tonight and is going over every single little thing that she is thankful for- then she opens her eyes- reaches out and grabs a peice of paper on the floor and says "And please bless this peice of garbage. Name of Jesus Christ Amen." Awesome.

10/12/2008- I was braiding Kenna's hair and she was playing with the squirt water bottle. She was chattering on about how she was going to clean the house with it and make everything all shiny. Then she stops and says,"Don't listen to me...you can can clean the house just fine mommy."

5/26/2008-We are in the middle of potty training. We got Kenna Princess underwear that has the little mermaid on them. Mac and I are always telling her that she needs to keep the mermaid dry- and that she wouldn't like it if she got all wet.The other day when Kenna didn't quite make it- she came up to Mac and I and said-"Daddy- the mermaid isn't very happy..."
5/25/2008- Kenna likes to make up songs and sing them randomly. Last nights was a beautiful rendition about armpits. Look out American Idol...

4/22/2008-Last night Kenna runs up to Mac and gives him a huge hug screaming "I did it! I did it all by myself!" Mac asks,"What did you do?" Kenna- "I wiped boogers on your shirt!"
4/16/2008- Mac is always doing little "magic" tricks for Kenna- and she absolutely loves them. Tonight while we were eating dinner- Kennedy blurts out "Daddy! I want some maggots! (Instead of magic) Too funny- especially at the dinner table!
Kennedy was sick on Sunday and I stayed home with her. I sent Mac on ahead to teach our Sunday school class. Kennedy asked me where daddy was and I told her that he was at church and that I felt sad that we were missing it. She looked up at me with horror struck eyes and said "Oh crap! We're missing church!" Red flag to me...watch what I say!
We were walking down the aisle at the store and we passed the ladies section of clothes. Kennedy pointed out a pair of old ladies elastic waist, purple polyester pants and says "Oooh- that's nice!"
I was laughing about some stupid thing that I read and Kennedy looks up at me and starts laughing too- then she says "Oh mom! You silly old goat!" What?! That made me laugh even harder.
