Happy Memorial Day!

We had a very nice long weekend. It was so hot, but we had fun! Did some shopping, went for a bike ride, visited Como Zoo, and had a BBQ with the family at Mom and Dad's. Pretty laid back and somewhat relaxing. Alex got some new tennis shoes and a pair of sandals. Size 8 1/2 XW!!!! He's going to have monster feet!
Hope everyone else had a nice weekend too!

Handsome in blue! 

Flower! 

Playing with snakes at class! 

He shoots! 

Summertime!

Well, almost! We've been really enjoying the nice weather. Alex sure loves playing outside....he has a great time helping grandma with the gardening. He just keeps learning so much and amazes me all the time. He recognizes numbers 1-10, knows colors, and just catches on to things. It's so fun. I even taught him to say "Soul Patrol" and after he says it, he says "Tay" (for Taylor- in case you didn't know, I'm obsessed!).
We're looking forward to the long weekend. Hopefully it will be nice so we can be out and about. Haven't been on the bikes for some time now and we also have some landscaping to do in the yard.
Will also post a couple new pictures soon!

B-ball! 

Busy beaver! See the tail? 

Going into class 

First day of "class"

Alex went to his first class with Grandma at Longfellow park on Friday (5/12). He learned about Beaver's. Being a little early meant that he got to run around in the gym for awhile first and play with the basketballs. He really liked that. He got to see a beaver tail and pieces of wood that beavers use. He made a little picture of a beaver dam and wore a tail around. There was one other little girl there and it sounds like they had a good time. Alex is really enjoying being outside and playing a lot! He loves going to Grandma and Papa's house! He's learning so many words and talks a lot.
Yesterday was Mother's Day. We had a nice time doing the BBQ thing. I got a nice breakfast made for me and got to relax. It was a great day.

Nose! 

Busy and productive weekend!

We had quite the busy weekend. Yesterday, we had a yard sale at Mom and Dad's house. We sold quite a bit of stuff (and made about $200 in fun cash!). It was a fun day and almost the whole family was there. Alex loved running around and playing outside all day.
Went to Home Depot today and got landscape timbers to build some flower boxes. Wil washed the deck so we can get it stained and spruced up. We started putting up new black shutters on the house and it looks so much nicer! We only got 2 windows done, but it's already an improvement.
Alex is just loving the outdoors. He could play outside ALL day long! We should really start calling him the Energizer bunny. He is going to start going to a 4 week class at Longfellow Park. It's called Nature Buddies and it sounds like he'll get to see some animals up close. Grandma is going to take him on Fridays. I think he'll love it!
