My Sweet, Sweet Alex

Today we went to Alex's friend's birthday party. He was so excited to have a shot at the giant Elmo pinata. After all the little kids got their chance to hit the pinata the bigger kids got to go and that is when the candy really started to fall. Alex saw a lollipop drop to the ground and he quickly went to retrieve it. After that he ran and got another candy and promptly handed it to another little boy. He did that over and over again. He just wanted his friends to have candy too. It was cool to watch him so concerned about everyone else. That's my Alex for you. He loves to share everything with everyone whether or not he knows them. He reminds me of his Uncle Jim (he was named for Uncle Jim) in this respect. Jim would give you the shirt off his back or more importantly the last smartie in the box!!

The reason I get up every morning with a huge smile and go to bed the same way!!

Cedar Fever Time

Alex and I seemed to come down with colds/allergies at almost the same time this winter. We were both miserable for two weeks. Unfortunately there is not much to give a two year old except for nose drops and mucinex. Both of which he loves as you can see from the picture. He loves giving it to us too, right up the nose.

Fun With Dad

We love exploring and finding new parks in the area. We came across Berry Springs Park and it is quickly becoming a favorite. The parks in this city will be the thing I will miss most about this area if and when we leave. They are top notch. We took Sydney here to and she gave it two paws up. There are even two donkeys that live in the park although I am told they are not very friendly, but they look very cute. The plan is to connect this park by way of a bike path to all the other parks here in G-town. We plan to go camping here in the summer.

Grandma and Grandpa Meyer Come to Visit

We were so lucky to have Sandy and Roger come to visit us when we returned from Canada. It is always hard coming home from a great trip so this definitely gave us something fun to look forward to. We sure do miss having family close by so it so nice to have them visit us. We even got to meet Riley (the 90 pound puppy) for the first time. I think that was the highlight of the trip for Alex. We celebrated Christmas with them on 4th of January all over again and boy oh boy did Alex get spoiled. Since we had never officially given him our presents he got a lot of stuff that morning. I think he was quite overwelmed by all the presents for him. They just kept coming!! He especially liked the special bag that Uncle Phil made for him to house all of the dinosaurs he has accumulated.

A few video clips of our goings on the past few weeks. The first part is at Dave and Amy's dancing to I like to Move it, the second is Alex playing Jingle Bells on his new guitar, and the last is Alex riding a pony at a Jeb's birthday party this past weekend. Sorry about the wind in the last one-I always forget to use the wind reduction button on the camera.
