It's hard to believe but Alex just turned 10 years old already. He has grown up so fast. It seems like just yesterday that he was such a nice quiet little baby. Those days are all gone!!!!!! Now he loves video games, going quading, playing sports and running around with his friends. Oh, and don't forget, he can eat anything in sight.
He had several different birthday parties this year and these are some of his highlights......
Alex had all of our friends over last weekend to enjoy his birthday. The kids all played outside and the adults watched movies. It was a fun night and Alex had a great time.
He got so many great presents. He was so excited about all of them.
He had to wait until Tuesday, his actual birthday, to open the presents from the Keyes family. The package arrived on Monday but he patiently waited until his real birthday to open them. He was so excited to get new games for his Nintendo DS and some hand made birthday cards from his cousins.
Mike and I bought him guitar lessons for Christmas so we decided he would probably need a guitar to learn on. We went down to the music store and this is the one that he picked out. He seems to really like it and he had his first lesson today. It could be awhile before you hear him playing on the radio.
His Nana and Papa came up on Sunday night for a birthday dinner and he got another new Nintendo DS game and a steering wheel for his Wii. I told you he liked video games!!!!!
He got to pick what he had for dinner on his actual birthday and he picked spaghetti and garlic bread. His favorite meal.
Heidi and Jacob were over for his birthday dinner and we got to have some tasty cupcakes for dessert. They had alot of orange and green frosting on them.
Heidi, Cliff, and Jacob gave Mike and Alex their birthday presents together. They got them a night at the Great Wolfe Lodge for all of us to enjoy the water park. It is going to be so much fun. I think we are going toward the end of February.
He got to have his school friends over for a party also. They came on Saturday afternoon and spent the night. Alex picked this gourmet meal for their dinner again. They all seemed excited about hot dogs. I just don't understand that but they ate them all up so it was great.
He got a lot more great presents from all of the boys and he had a great time playing with everyone.
It seems like his 10th birthday was a huge success all around. He enjoyed all of his parties and has been so excited about all of the gifts that he has received. He also got some great presents from his Aunt Peggy in Illinois, His Grandpa and Bonnie in Las Vegas and his Aunt Kim in Arizona. Thank you all so much!!!!!
This is across the street from us. I watched the neighbors try to open their gate one morning and they had hip boots on.
This is a little park across the street. Notice that those are the handicap parking signs that have water clear up to them. There is also a fence right behind the sign but it is totally under water.
This is Woodland. I am actually in the middle of driving through it in this picture. Needless to say it wasn't one of my better ideas. The water was almost up to the bottom of my Durango's door and my car made some very interesting noices all the way to work. The beep that the car makes when you lock it sound sick now also. I think it must be full of water. :) 
The whole group. 
Megan and Jim.
