Today Eli turned 5 and my dad turned 64! Eli was the boss of our day and he picked everything we did and ate! We decided that our kids will have a birthday part every other year so this year Eli just gets to have a wonderful day all about him. We started off my heading to the movie which actually wasn't out yet....oops my bad. So Eli choose the fishy museum instead. This was the first time Lilly was awake and really enjoyed and did the whole aquarium. Eli and Liam loved it as always. After the Aquarium we got a pretzel because Eli just loves mall pretzels.After that I thought Eli would want to do the tramp thing with the elastic bands and the mall but he was too scared so he choose to go to game works instead. We played video games for about an hour and a half. After that we got another pretzel (each time we shared) because well that what Eli wanted!
That night we tried to take Eli to Ah So. His favorite place to eat but they were not open yet and we really needed to get to the hospital for my dads birthday. We told Eli we would take him Saturday and he was totally okay with that. So we ended up eating at Chik Fil A and letting the boys play for a while. We picked up a sitter (to watch the boys while we did stuff with my dad) then headed out to the hospital to see my dad. We brought a DQ cake and sang to Eli. He loved seeing papa rubbed his feet. Played with his cousins then he left to bass pro shop with the sitter.
We stayed back to do my dad's present and sing to him. Over the past few weeks I asked people to email me any memory they had of my dad. As I received them I have been posting them to a blog I created. It was been so nice while we have been getting this bad news to read these stories and celebrate my dad. I thought it would be a prefect time to show him the blog and in a few weeks after all the stories are in we will print the blog into a book. All the adults were in the room with my dad and we took turns reading our favorite stories.My dad doesn't have much energy but I could tell he loved it and we all had a wonderful time. I'm was sad he spent his birthday in the hospital but I am glad we were able to make it special and make a good memory.
For his birthday Eli gets to pick everything we do and eat. We have hi up Sealife Aquarium, game stop and ate some pretzels. H also tell everyone we see it's his birthday and hit up the pretzel place twice.
This might be one of my favorite moments every. This game the boys are on safari and they are being attacked by giant spiders, they have to shoot. They were screaming and shooting. I wish I made a video.
Today's Eli's birthday that's the only way we would ever be at an arcade these two think they have died and gone to heaven.
Even with out Jacob. Every time Eli visits my dad he pulls up a chair and starts rubbing his feet. Eli and papa share the same birthday. Just our two birthday boys hanging out.
Eli is such a good sport. he spent his 5th birthday in the hospital. After he blew out his candles he looked up and said, "Dad do you want to know what I wished for?" Jacob replied , "What?" "I wished Papa would feel better."My mom sister and I were instantly crying. He has such a sweet heart.
