Happy Birthday Alex "2"

Rhea and Natalie took Alex out for a Birthday Date. Geoffrey and Jayden were to sick go. Alex had the girls all to himself.

I think that was just fine with him

Earlier in the day we stopped by to give Alex a cupcake and a race car garage.
Rhea decided to give him his gift while we were there.....

He sure loved it!

It might look a little funny with Natalie driving but if you could have seen

Rhea drive it around the house soooooo funny!

Happy Happy Birthday Alex!

Merry Christmas Mom!We love you!

Christmas 2010

Rick

Rick and I enjoy spending time together. We really like each other.

I say like because sometimes ...

I think its easier to love someone than to like them.

But I really like him!!

I enjoy going places with him. He makes everything exciting.

He is always up for anything. Rick has the most optimistic attitude.... and after a year like he had.... believe me it is a wonderful example of his great faith and character.

Rick really loves life and I love sharing it with him.

This is special because we only have it at Christmas.

Christmas Morning

Jackson is having a hard time waking up on Christmas morning .... it was because he opened his gift and chewed on it all night! Bad boy! Natalie still had one more gift for him under the tree.

Natalie is still doing Florida Virtual School and we thought this may help!

The night before Christmas..

The last few pieces of the Christmas puzzle....

A beautiful painted pony!

Favorite time ..... Reading our scriptures before bed.

In our matching PJ's!


The house is quiet and ready for Christmas morning.

Christmas Eve

We decided to go to Universal Studios for

Christmas Eve Afternoon / Evening.

After going on a few rides and seeing the Parade we ate at Hard Rock!

Geoffrey loves Quesadillas and the boys like the kids menu too!

Natalie has a "thing" for baby Landon.

She held him all though dinner and most of the night!

Alex was tall enough to go on the ET ride.

Its kinda dark in there but.... he loved it I always told Natalie we would go to New York City to see the Macy's Day Parade....

Here she got to see it in Orlando!

It was a mini version...but very well done.

The kids love Shrek and Leona!

They even had large balloons and let the people from the park hold the strings.Geoffrey and Rhea
