EGGS-CELLENT

Well, we had a wonderful Easter and have so many blessings to be thankful for! We got two offers on our house, just two days after we listed it with a real estate agent, so we're under contract now! Thank you for answering those prayers God, we are so greatful!! We went to Easter service on Saturday evening to avoid the Sunday crowds and because Marc was leaving for his trip Sunday afternoon. Alex was quite the poser once he was all dressed up and Marc and I both got some really cute pics of him!! He is such a little gentleman when he wants to be and melts our hearts everyday! After church ("Mommy, church is fun," he said when we picked him up from the nursery.) we went home and dyed a dozen eggs that I had hard boiled earlier in the day (thanks to the egg boiler indicator from Grammy!). He was very excited to put stickers on the eggs too, once they dried. He placed his basket outside before bed (third to last picture) and was overjoyed with the goodies from the Easter Bunny on Sunday morning. We had a nice egg hunt, ate some mini-snickers and blue Peeps for breakfast, then took Rummy on a long walk while Alex rode his scooter (he's really good at this now and loves going fast). Unfortunately, I cannot get any of my Easter morning videos to download but I'll try again later; I did post the scooter video from Sunday afternoon. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!

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.

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!
