Alex's Birthday


Big Al is 4!


Here he is with his birthday hat from school.
He is 39 inches tall-in the 25th percentile for height and weighs in at 40 solid lbs,


His favorite color is green and his favorite piece of clothing are "worker jeans". Have to be carpenter style.


We went bowling for his party. He loves to do any physical activity. Bowling, hockey, football, biking, you name it. If it involves an object and running he is sold.


Excuse the photo, his mama uses her phone. Alli made him a card, he ready it so nicely and looked right at her and said so very nicely,"Thank you!"


Alex is very kind, funny, and easy going. He does not require a lot to make him happy.  You can always count on him for a hug and good manners.


He does like to tell me once and awhile,"I don't love you Mom, just Dad. Anthony loves you." But I know better when he tells me later he "loves me to the moon". Because that is just how much I love him too.


He still loves Thomas and Play Dough, loves to write the letter A and M for "my name".


He treats his sister like a princess Tells her she is so pretty all the time.


Immediately after he blew out the candles he told Anthony to back off of "his cake"! Then he asked if he could have 2 pieces, with a PLEASE!





May all your wishes come true, that is all I ask for you. My baby is now a boy who I love so very much.

He looks so adorable - one of these years we'll make it back for his party!!! He's only 40 lbs? My goodness, Owen is 15 months and almost 29 lbs due to his obvious love of food...needs to start running soon and not toddling around! :-)

Love you all...Amy

OH, so happy birthday to your son! Mine used to tell their day, "I don't love you. I love mom." But that changes - I miss the days when they would tell me they loved me "to God's beard and back" - as we tried to one-up each other - 'cause what could be farther than the moon than God's beard?
