NBA TRYOUTS

My mild-mannered cutie below (he does have on pants) recently got ready for his tryouts with the Houston Rockets. He's become quite the basketball player since his Aunts Margot and Mal got him a basketball goal for Christmas! Check out the action shots/footage below!

It's not easy being this cool.

That's right, look out for me Yao. I'm coming to get you.

He preps for the dunk...

He scores a perfect "10."

Gotta get my calories in mom, yummy pizza!

The old crazy eye look for mom.

He cannot hold that crazy eye look and keep a straight face!

Here is Alex working on his vertical jumping skills.

PAW-PAW AND SUSIE TIME

Alex had an awesome time visiting his Paw-Paw and Grandma Susie while in TX. Here are some pictures of his time with them. He also got to stay with Grammy and Papa in Huntsville-pics will be posted in the future after I get them from Grammy.

MORE TX FUN

T The fun continues! Alex had a great day at the Rodeo carnival today!

Playing in the mud at the farm! Alex also got to ride with Paw-Paw and Grandma Susie on the tractor and the ranger! His boots saw some real action...

Enjoying the playground, lots of sliding fun!

FUN WITH GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

Alex is having a blast with Paw-Paw and Susie! Here he is in avid pursuit of a duck at the park. The duck was way more scared of him than he was of the duck!

Alex loves going to Home Depot/Lowes and sitting on the riding lawn mowers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

haaaappy bird-a to dad-dy...35 years young!

Alex has been practicing his rendition of "Happy Birthday" for weeks and he didn't let us down. The actual singing w/ candles and cupcakes video is over 2minutes so I'll try to post it later, but you can see what a good helper Alex was in making the delicious cupcakes. He was also a helper eating them!

Flips with Aunt Margo! I have a good video of this to post, too.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

BUSY WEEK

Alex had his Valentine's Day party at school on Monday. Here he is laying out all the "goodies" he got from his friends. He was very excited about all of the lollipops!

Putting them back in the bag now...

He did get to have one of the lollipops after dinner and he certainly loved it!

This morning Alex and I headed to gymnastics...he was excited!! See videos from today below!

SATURDAY FUN

Getting ready to go shopping at Target to buy Valentines for his school friends!
