New Discovery

Wednesday evening Alex discovered a new adventure. We were downstairs-she was playing and Justin and I were doing laundry. Next thing we know she comes running over and climbs right up in the laundry basket. She thought this was hilarious so for 10 minutes or so, she climbed in the laundry, rolled around, crawled back and did it all over again. Needless to say, it made it difficult to get the laundry folded but she was having a blast. Justin and I just thought she was too funny so we watched and snapped a few shots to share with you! Enjoy! (especially the one of her with underwear on her head-that was daddy's doing)

Justin's Birthday

Monday evening we celebrated Justin's birthday with my family. We had a nice dinner at Hoss's and then everyone came back to our house for cake and presents. We tried a new recipe this year-a lemon cake. It was very tasty! Justin got lots of nice things but the best part was just getting to spend time with the family. Alex had a favorite present-she loved the Mets hat daddy got. She has a thing for hats-she loves putting them on and taking them off daddy's head over and over and over again. Tuesday evening (which was Justins' actual birthday) our good friends Kristi, Lucky, Jen, Drue, and Sean came over for pizza. That was Justin's request-worked for me because I didn't have to cook anything. We had a great time celebrating with them as well. Mattson and Alex always have a good time together too. Mattson was so excited to get to play with "baby Alex's" toys and sit in her chair. He told his mommy he was going to take "baby Alex's" chair with him to Miss Gina's (that's his babysitter)-haha! We had a great time with everyone-both family and friends! Thank you everyone for making Justin's day special!

Our first Trick or Treat Night

We decided to take Alex out this year for trick or treating. We didn't go too many places. We made our first stop at my parents and Justin parents were there as well. Then we headed to a couple neighbors (Brian and Kelly and Phil and Brandi's house) before heading to Rob and Susan's house. Mom and I made a cute little candy corn costume, although I should say mom did most of it. She is the seamstress in the family-not me! It was adorable and everyone loved seeing Alex in it. She wasn't a big fan of the hat so that didn't last very long and everywhere we went she just made herself at home playing and having a good time. It was hard to keep her still for pictures, but we got a few! She loved sticking her hands into the baskets and taking pieces of candy that she can't really eat anyway (guess mommy and daddy will get to eat that). Grandma and Pappy and Uncle Rob and Aunt Susan were prepared with goldfish crackers for her.
