ALEX THIS WEEK...

Happy April!  It's hard to believe that March has come and gone.  Alex says the funniest stuff these days; we were eating dinner together last week one day and Marc and I were talking about what went on at work.  Alex stopped eating and said, "Are you guys talking about work?"  We both smiled and stiffled a laugh.  Marc said, "Yes we are."  Alex said, "I'll talk about my work later."  He then proceeded to finish his dinner.  These first three pictures are from today!  We had a fun Saturday but didn't really do too much besides order a new kitchen table.  I know I know, everyone's probably thinking "finally"...it will be delivered in 30 days or less from now.  Alex started swim lessons this past week.  He goes twice a week for 30 minute lessons.  The pictures below are from his first lesson on Monday.  He LOVES it, thank goodness!  The pictures inbetween are of the new racetrack.  We went to Marc's unit's Family Day (carnival type event, everything's FUN and FREE) and Alex won this during the raffle so he was pretty excited.  After Marc put it together they played forever together...I think Marc had as much fun as Alex!  One of the videos below is of the two of them playing "racetrack."  The other video is Alex finishing his animal puzzle that he picked out from the zoo.  Pass word to each is "alex"  Have a blessed Sunday and a great week!

TRIP TO THE ZOO

Marc had to be at work for 10 days straight("in the field") and I had to work the same Saturday as him, which never happens.  To make the most of our day together, Alex and I went to the zoo on Sunday (6 March).  Sorry there aren't too many pics of Alex and I together but a nice lady took the one here.  We had lots of fun and the animals were really active (except the lazy Rhinos as you will see).  Enjoy!

VACATION MANIA!

We took a much needed mini-vacation over President's Day holiday weekend and boy was it fun!  We invited Chuck and Christy to join us at Marriott's Villas in Newport Coast and it really was nice, especially because the weather turned out nice despite the forecast for rain.  Sorry for not blogging in 19 days...here are 27 pictures to make up for it. 
 Check out these new water shoes, I like them...

 Trying them out at the playground, before we head to the pool...

 Good grip.  I'm sure glad Poppy took me to the playground!

 Alex is such a climber these days and he's very athletic...


 Thankfully the pools were all heated to 85 degrees....Alex did this about 100 times I think.  He had so much fun jumping in and swimming with me.

 Good air picture by Poppy...

 Splish Splash...he got me.

 Marc ordered some nachos and Alex was chowing down, he liked them.

 One more, I can't resist.

 Oh, yeah...hitting the hot tub after a long swim and some nachos.  We couldn't get Alex to leave...you'll see why in the next few pictures.

 yes, that's his smoothie.  but it's not why he won't leave the hot tub...

 yumm...refreshing and delicious. 

 ...and, hello ladies.  the blondes came to the hot tub and that was it.  check out alex's little "peek a boo" move around the railing bar.  ha ha!

 ...and another one...welcome friend.

 more swimming with mommy...we were practicing our kicks on the side.

 Air Alex



 back to the hot tub...


 the older women...


 sunbathing...he really enjoyed laying in the sun and wasn't impatient or anything while we took a break.

 ...and there was a brunette, too...

 heading to dinner with mommy and CC in the back seat..

CHEEEEEESE!
