All Boy and Some!


Oh how we love this adorably, goofy, and fun-loving kid!This last week, Alex turned the big 5!! And every year I continued to be amazed at how much this boy grows and how much sweeter he is becoming.

He loves to make others laugh. He gave his sister 5 dollars of his birthday money from Papa King, just because. He loves to snuggle. He is like a jelly filled donut! Wonderful from the outside and even sweeter in the middle! But because he is a boy, he carries around all the wonderful, (and sometimes exhausting), attributes of a boy!

Like any other guy, big or small, he loves anything with wheels. So naturally he requested a Monster Truck Cake. For a moment I had a grand desire to whip up a riducously, awesome 3-D cake! But that soon faded, and we came up with this.

Haha... oh what a sad sight. But the most wonderful thing about it was, that he loved it all the same! Later that day though, when he was talking with Grandma Ellie he said, "Grandma you should come down next year so YOU could make my fabulously fantastic cake!" I just laughed right then and there!

Alex had a wonderful birthday. Filled with new toys like swords, guns, all the COOL boy stuff...

And a new football uniform from head to toe! Thanks Grandma Ellie!!



Alex soaked up his special day. Grandpa Cheeto came up that night to wish him a happy birthday. Then Grandma Cheeto took him out to lunch the next day and showered him with more love.
You are such a wonderful boy Alex! We love you and Happy Birthday!

At first I thought you were talking about Talen!

He is such a cute boy Carina. Those eyes! I am sure you hear that all the time. Doesn't it make you sad how fast they grow up. I am always telling them to slow it down!
