Happy Belated Birthday to Dave! March 21, 2012

I am so behind in posting this, but... Happy 3rd Birthday Dave! You are such a big boy now! Dave loves trucks, he loves Elmo, he loves bowling, he loves Mickey & Curious George, and most of all he loves baseball. He would play baseball all day long if we let him. He also loves trains, and plays with his Thomas train every day. He knows all of his letters and likes to read his favorites over and over. He is such a funny little guy and has a great sense of humor. He is in his big boy bed now and is so proud of himself for it. Happy birthday Dave, we love you!

Tooth

In honor of Groundhog Day, Alexis lost her first tooth! It has been loose for a few months, and was barely hanging on for a few days. She lost it at school, and the nurse gave her a little treasure box to keep it safe. Very exciting!

Christmas 2011

A little late... Merry Christmas! We had a great Christmas, and Santa (and relatives from all over) were very good to us! It was so much fun to have Christmas in our new house with a lot more space.

Dave was soooo tired... but on his way down to see if Santa was here!

Alexis is never tired... she couldn't wait to come downstairs Christmas morning!

Santa drank the milk and ate the cookies!

Alexis tried out her new razor scooter...

Dave was shooting some hoops...

He also spent a lot of time playing with his old train set... I guess that is way more interesting than opening presents!

Doing some woodworking...

Santa knows that Alexis is growing up... time for a booster seat in the car!

Alexis was given a cheerleader outfit from her cousins Kara and Keena... she LOVES it!

Happy Birthday Alexis!

I am a little late with this post... Happy 6th Birthday to Alexis on December 21st! We can't believe that you are already six!!

Alexis and Dave waiting to open presents...

Talking to Gramma Debi and Grampa Joe on the phone...

New penguin hat!

Alexis has been hoping for a DS since she was four!

Alexis decorated a beautiful cake for herself!

Her Christmas show at school was on her birthday!

Dave was a patient boy during the show!

Cup Stacking Tournament 2011

Alexis is a member of the cup stacking club at her school, and today she went to her first tournament. She did a great job!

Here she is getting ready for her turn...

She also participates in the partner stacking with her friend, Cassie.

They look identical from behind!

Dave is working on his stacking, too... he was such a good boy during the tournament!

Alexis and Cassie won third place in partner stacking!

Thanks for coming to watch, Grandpa!

50's Day

Alexis had her 50th day of school, and she dressed as a 50's girl. Grandma and Grandpa whipped up a poodle skirt on very short notice. She looked so cute!

Halloween

Better late than never... here are the kids in their Halloween costumes. Do you like the weave that Ariel is sporting?

Dave kept telling us "I'm a dinosaur train conductor!"


Here is Alexis in her Halloween parade at school!
