Alexander's First Birthday

Happy First Birthday to my sweet Alexander, I can't believe you are 1 year old how fast you have grown. I love you so much.

I took the kids to breakfast this morning at Mcdonalds and let them play for a bit before we went shopping for cupcakes, party decorations...and other items.

After Roy got off work we went to Build-A-Bear and picked him out a cute puppy and dressed him in a Texas Rangers outfit. Alex loves to chew on him and snuggle him.

Then we came home to enjoy a quick "Cupcake Smash", its amazing how quickly he devours that cupcake once he gets a taste of it.

Sorry for the sideways video for the first few seconds.

Enjoy

Pomegranate Juice

The girls decided is way too much work trying to eat pomegranate seeds so we thought of a new way to enjoy their flavor. It was lots of fun to watch them squish the seeds into juice. Add a little sugar and it was amazing.

Ohio

We decided this year we would make a family trip to Ohio to visit Marianne and her family in Ohio. We drove for 2 days and spent a wonderful 2 weeks with them. Roy brought along his hunting gear and spent every morning and evening sitting out trying to kill a deer, unfortunately he didn't get one...maybe next time. The cousins had a super fun time playing together everyday, playing Cinderella, making applesauce playing at the creek and vising all the cool Amish stores.

One day we decided to make a trip to Kirtland
