Halloween Party

Alex and I went to gymboree today for another special party. He had so much fun. He just loves it there. And best of all.........he wore is superman costume again. I think he thinks he is a little superhero.

What to be for Halloween

Happy Halloween!! We had a hard time deciding what Alex should be for Halloween this year. He chose to be Superman. But here are some pictures of the costumes that were the runner ups.

I think I like this one too

Grammy comes to visit

Last weekend my mom came in town to help Abby with her wedding plans. Alex and I tried to go to some of the appointments. We were there when she picked out her beautiful dress!!! My mom even watched Alex so Wes and I could go out for our anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years. We had a great evening out. Alex had a great weekend with Grammy. We can't wait to see you over Thanksgiving. Alex loves Rudy

Going out to lunch before grammy had to go home. We will see you soon!!

Going to the Pumpkin Patch

We got in to the Halloween spirit and decided to take Alex to a pumpkin patch. It didn't feel like fall because it was 95 degrees that day and the pumpkin patches are not like the ones in the midwest (at least the one that we went to). After visiting the first place we headed over to a pumpkin tent. All of the kids picked out pumpkins and then we went to Starbucks to hang out. It turned out to be a great day. Are these the only pumpkins here??

Who is this guy?

Wes and Alex, Ben and Luke and Shawn and Emma

I love the pumpkin patch

me and my friends

this is the pumpkin I decided to take home

Laughing at Rudy

Sorry this is a little out of order by I had to post this video from last night. Nothing makes Alex laugh harder than watching Rudy (Abby's dog) run around and bark. We never knew that Rudy was so funny. Alex has seen Rudy run around dozens of times but this never gets old........

Halloween at Gymboree

A few weeks ago I took Alex to a special Gymboree. They were having a Halloween party. The kids were so cute. Alex dressed up as Superman. Emma was a ballerina and Luke dressed up as Yoda. Alex loves gymboree so this day was extra special.

Aunt Abby came to my party too. I loved seeing her there

Can I take these pumpkins home??

1st birthday pictures

Today I took Alex to have his pictures taken for his first birthday. They came out great!! Carly met me there and she was awesome. She danced around to make Alex smile. Then Carly and Steff helped me pick out the best pictures. It was so hard to make a decision. Many, many thanks to Carly and Steff. I couldn't have done it without you.

Race for the Cure

Last weekend Abby, Alex and I participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. We walked in celebration of Abby's friend Michelle. Good luck Michelle.

Our trip to the Phoenix Zoo

We made our first trip to the Phoenix zoo. We had a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful. We were able to see a few animals while we were there. Some of the others were sleeping

I didn't like the ride very much

seeing all the animals makes me sleepy

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

I loved playing with all of the tissue paper

Our little cowboy

A few weeks ago our friend Stephanie invited us to go with her to the barn. Alex loved the horses. Steff even took him on his first horse ride. Riding around with Steff
