Jacob's 1st Birthday Party!

Today, my little family went to the Pike to celebrate Jacob's 1st Birthday! Alex had fun playing with all of Jacob's friends and Jacob enjoyed playing with Alex's John Deere tractor and his cake! It was a fun time :)

April 5th

The day after the auction, the family got together for a happy celebration. Thankfully, it was BEAUTIFUL weather and we were able to play outside :) Hopefully everyone had fun!

Teamwork

This past Sunday, Mammaw had an impromptu picnic that allowed 2nd cousins Alex and Will Patterson play together. The boys seemed to enjoy chasing each other and pushing around a cart. It was a nice picnic and a pleasure to spend time with family!

Fireman Kyle

How do you become a 2 year old's hero? Besides being a cartoon with a catchy song... you give him a tour of a firehouse!

Kyle was a great sport and showed Alex the Fairfield firehouse. Kyle graciously allowed Alex to "drive" the fire ENGINE (the one with hoses), fire TRUCK (with ladders), and ambulance. Kyle also showed Alex lots of hoses, ladders, hammers, extinguers, flashlights, hats, boots, poles, and TONS of medical equipment. Alex had Kyle open every door and explore every nook and cranny of the emergency vechiles. Alex LOVED talking to Fireman Kyle and leading him by the hand to explore new areas. Kyle was a great sport. At the end, he allowed Alex to close the doors and sent him off him toots of the horn that made Alex jump! :)

Visit with Mammaw

Tuesday morning, Alex and I went to visit Mammaw. There Alex got to water Mammaw's flowers with the watering can and hose, take a walk, have crackers, and drink milk from a Big Boy cup. At the end of the visit, Mommy and Alex were wet but everyone seemed happy :)

Fairfield Visit

June 27th to July 2nd, Alex and I spent the time at Abuelos while Daddy was busy with his BarBri classes. The time was spent interviewing, visiting family and friends, riding tractors, and driving his trike. Alex and I had enjoyed ourselves!

at Mammaw's

Saturday evening we arrived at Mammaw's at 4pm for an egg hunt. Will, Katie, Kevin and Alex were the main hunters and had great success.

Around 5pm, everyone joined the fray for dinner and then to celebrate Alex's birthday. To finish off the evening, a George piñata dropped lots of candy to send everyone home.
