Nanny's birthday party!

August 17th we celebrated Nanny's birthday with her at Grammy's house. As soon as we got there we saw this deer hanging out in the backyard. And anyone who knows Emily knows she had some food on hand to feed it:) So she took the kids out and Alex threw some food out for him. The deer eventually came back after he was sure we were all back inside.

Alex wanted to surprise everyone with his claws! He is very into superheroes these days and really likes Wolverine's claws. Isn't he scary?

Great Uncle David and Alex.

Alex and Avery had to help Nanny blow out her candles. We hope you had a great birthday Nanny!

Alex loves "helping out" when it comes to opening presents:).

Avery showing Nanny another game on the phone. I just realized there are way too many pictures of my kids playing games on cell phones. I need to rein that in a little, I think!


Parker had some comic books up in his room that Alex found. I think they used to be David's and he and Alex sat down to read them. Alex sat there the whole time (probably 30 minutes) and listened to everything David told him about the superheroes. It amazed me that he sat that still and quiet for that long.
