Fun Days in January

Playing air hockey on Grammy's ipad.

Avery couldn't be left out.

How sweet is this? We had some friends over to play and I asked Graham and Avery to stop for a picture...sweet!

Alex at his swim lessons. I have told him that he will not be able to use a swim vest in the pool this summer. He is serious about learning to swim and he is doing great! I think he will be ready by May!

They are too cool!

Alex's first field trip...to the public library. It was actually very good! The kids loved it. But for some reason I only took pictures outside...none inside.

Of course, his favorite part was riding the bus!

Guess who the star student is??

ALEX!

The Star Student display in his class.

He was proud of his sticker and he asked to wear his favorite shirt...the Bears. He would wear it at least three times a week if I let him.

He got to take his favorite snack one day, along with his favorite book. He had such a fun day! He wanted to take mini corndogs. I didn't realize there were actually kids in the world who might not like corndogs. Our kids wouldn't survive without them:)

Avery was so excited she was included and had a space by Alex. She loves her brother!

He took a power rangers book for Mrs. Cindy to read. He didn't want me to read it...when I asked him why he said he wanted to see if Mrs. Cindy could read it as good as me and prounounce all the words right...Good answer!

His friend, Jack P.

I took a couple of pictures of his artwork while I was there:)

I love you Alex!

More of Alex's birthday weekend

The night DarDar and Grandaddy came in town...Alex couldn't contain his excitement:)

They were helping DarDar put chocolate hearts in sugar cookies and they were showing me where their hearts were.

So...Avery is a little off...we will work on that.

Tristan loved bouncing in the bouncy house!

At Alex's basketball game Tristan had his first capri sun. It never left his mouth...he drank every last drop.

Alex's bowling party!

Alex wanted a bowling party this year and he had so much fun! We bowled first and then had pizza and cake. There was only one ball that got dropped on someone's toe that I know of (and it wasn't my kid) so it was a pretty successful party! :)

Alex and Miles.

Abbie ready to bowl.

Avery and Ryder took turns with lots of help from Grammy:).

His awesome birthday cake made by Jay-our cousin! Alex loved it and it was so good!

Nanny, Grammy, and Great-Grandaddy.

Ford and Alex wanted to bowl at the same time.

Jack Glyien ready to bowl.

Avery saw a Minnie Mouse bag and wanted to open it immediately. DarDar and Grandaddy gave her a Dora watch.

Sweet T and Nan.

Tristan wanted a turn bowling but for the most part he was content just walking around checking every body else out.

Where is that ball? Can you tell Avery is a little impatient?

Birthday boy with Mimi.

Breanna having some cake.

Dar serving the cake.

As soon as he blew the candles out the boys all started grabbing all the power ranger men and rings off the cake. I didn't expect that-but it was pretty funny!

A few came over to watch him open presents while everyone else was bowling. Jack Glyien really wanted Alex to open the guns he got him. He is such a sweet friend to Alex.

This was his party favor we gave out. I remembered to take this picture about a week after the party as the kids were eating the last one. Aren't they cool? And they tasted good.

About a week after his party I asked him what his favorite thing was about his whole birthday and he said the bowling party. He said, "It was awesome!" I love him!
