Playdate at our house and Jeff

This picture was too cute to pass up. Last Friday night, John's friend ,Jeff, and his wife, Crystal, dropped by to visit. Alex showed off the minute they knocked on the door. He was showing Crystal how he could throw his "futball" and he wanted Jeff to read to him. Jeff sat on the couch and Alex ran and got a book, brought it to Jeff, said "up," crawled up beside Jeff and just sat there like "ok, I'm ready for you to read to me." It was the sweetest thing ever! What makes it even funnier is Jeff is a 4th grade (I think) teacher. It was like Alex knew he knew how to read to kids. :)


We had some friends over last Monday for a little swimming get together. It was a lot of fun. They played outside until the fire ants got to be too much (more on ants later) and then we had PB&J sandwiches for the kids and taco salads for the moms.
Here is Alex, Alec (born on the same day as Alex), Jack, and Olivia in the pool. It was hard to get one picture with all of the kids since there were 6 of them running around. Alex liked having everyone at his house but he did not like sharing all of his toys. He thought if it was technically his he should be able to grab it whenever he wanted. Him and Caden always wanted each other's toys.
