Alex

Alex has been busy the last few weeks. A little more than a week ago he had , Jeffery, a buddy from school spend the night. I don't always take pictures of freinds spending the night, but this time I did. The boys had a lot of fun, mostly playing video games. The other kids love it when someone new is over! Alex also



baked his first loaf of bread, almost all on his own,



and got glasses! He said right away it made a big difference. All the kids were/continue to be very interested in his glasses. Max has said numerous times he wants glasses too and likes to make sure Alex has his case and cleaner with him. :) The glasses must help a lot because Alex almost always has them on.

Flower Girl and Birthday Party

Two weeks ago we went to Iowa to see Randy's niece get married, it was a very fast, crazy but very fun weekend. We were so glad we could be back for the occasion.



Sophia got to be a flower girl and she loved it!!!!!! She got to wear blush and eyeshadow and had her hair done. She loved her dress, loved dragging the ringbearers up the aisle and she got to carry the bride's lipstick in her flower purse, which was wonderful! She had a great day, I think she was as excited as the bride. :)


There they are Amy and Cody, getting married. Sophia couldn't wait to see them kiss. She asked more than once when it would be.



Here's our crew at the reception. Alex and Max ended up at the water park in the hotel with their cousin, Madison. They had a blast! We all played at the water park the next morning. It was pretty cool. I of course didn't get any pictures! Opps! Sophia played with her cousins and collected the rose petals off the tables, at the reception. And Henry covered his ears - too loud for him and then went to bed with his little brother, Timmy (we didn't leave him in the room alone, Eric's parents watched them - Thank you!). Randy and I hung out visiting and watching everyone dance.





We celebrated Timmy's 1st birthday at Aunt Coco's and Uncle Chris's. It was a nice party. Complete with cake, opening gifts and best of all so much of our family.
