Alex's 6th birthday!














Alex had a great Army birthday today at home. It was so much fun! He is one happy boy! We had our own little boot camp. I made a tank cake, which was so much fun to do.

oh my gosh Christa, what a great cake!!! You are so creative! I can't believe how grown up your kids are getting. They are so cute :) I remember when I came to visit you in California when Alex was like 6 months old...and now look at him. It looks like he had an awesome party, you're such a good mom. I love you guys :)

So impressed with the cake. Really cute. Is that a piano or a desk that he got? (Brady was wondering) Happy 6th Alex!!

WOW! What a great birthday party! My son, Camden would LOVE that party! I'll have Lisa give you my email address and you have to let me know how you did that cake and what you did for boot camp. What a great idea! You are so creative! Seriously! Camden would LOVE it! We sure miss preschool!

Thanks for the details. I'm seriously doing this for Camden's next birthday! You're awesome!

I would love to have Kaylee over for preschool again. I just picture her on the barstools watching our fish Goldie! She loved Goldie! You should have taken our fish!!!! Blake misses all the kids too.

Alex is also doing great. He loves being a big brother. Everyday Alex, Kaylee and I walk (he rides is scooter) to pick up Kyle. It is a great reason to take a walk everyday. Fortunately the weather is warm enough we can do that. While we're walking Kaylee reaches out her arms for Alex to give her a hug. She really does love him. Right now he is very much into trains. He wanted a big Thomas Train track for Christmas. He also carries many of his trains in his back pack around the house. He also really loves Lightning McQueen and all the Cars stuff. He and Kyle both enjoy jumping on the trampoline. It is something they do everyday. Alex also loves tools and working with his dad on projects!

Kaylee

Kaylee is full of personality. She has just been so fun to have in our family. She is definitely entertaining. She is also so loving. She loves her brothers very much always following them around and wanting to be right in the mix of everything they do. She adores her dad. Everyday she will hear the chime from the front door when Sam comes home and she walks as fast as she can talking, (we don't know what she is saying yet) with her arms streched for her dad. Her favorite toys are her doll house, a big farm she can walk in, babies, and this toy that pops balls out. She has been a super happy baby. She is growing up so fast. She really just wants to do what everyone else does. Her all time favorite thing is her blankie. She has a few. She just loves fleece blanket with fringe. She carries them around all day and put them to her nose and smells them. Don't ask me why.
