TEXAS TRIP, PART I

Alex and I had a great 6 days in Texas, too many pictures to BLOG all at once so here goes part 1...

 Alex was really looking forward to the airplane ride...

                       Alex had the first of three birthday celebrations in TX and Kelsey made AWESOME
                    spiderman cupcakes for the occasion...thanks again Kelsey, that was above and beyond!

 Alex and Callie sure enjoyed their cupcakes!!

 We did lots of swimming in the hot weather to keep cool and have fun.  Alex and Callie had lots of fun swimming and even Macie went for a dip in the pool!

Tom...here it is!!!  Word up.

BEACH BASH!

Before you browse the beach pictures, Alex would like to show you his Halloween costume.  We are extremely early this year!  If he has on the costume but no mask, he's Alex.  If he has the mask on, he only answers to Spiderman.  We're in full preparation for his upcoming Spiderman birthday party, it's gonna be a fun one!

On Saturday Alex and I went to the I MEF Beach Bash and boy was it fun.  They had two bounce houses, pony rides, games, prizes, and lots of food!  Alex was not into the pony rides at first but once he saw the other kids doing it I couldn't get him off the ponies.  We stayed for the whole three hours and had lots of fun.  He ate a cheeseburger, watermelon, cheetos, 2 choc chip cookies, popcorn, and part of a snowcone.  Sugar galore, but that's what beach parties are for!!

POPPY AND CC VISIT!

We are so thankful and fortunate to have Poppy and CC help us out with Alex!  While Marc was in 29 Palms I had to take a weeklong trip to Bridgeport, CA for a training exercise.  Poppy and CC drove in from AZ and Alex got a week out of daycare and got to do lots of fun stuff....take a look!  The last 5 pictures are from my trip to Bridgeport...beautiful location and wonderful weather.
