Land Lubbers!

One of Alex and Max's favorite things to play is pirates.  Alex loves to draw treasure maps, and then he takes Max and I on fun treasure hunts.  I love how creative he is.  Sometimes we travel over some treacherous terrain, like the sticky sand, rocky cliffs, and stinky swamp.  I also love it when these two can play together for a bit!

Alex's First Day of School 2011

Alex has gone off to his first day of preschool this year.  He is growing up so fast, and he is such a fun kid! He loves going to school, and I love it too!

Alex is excited to start another year of preschool with Miss Patty! 

Vegas Babies!

We went on a fun trip to Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend. Mark won a two night stay at the Bellagio! Mark had just arrived back home the week before, so we packed up the kids and had a family party!

I am not good at taking pictures, but Alex did take this one. It's the ceiling in the Bellagio lobby, he thought it was so cool!

The highlight of Alex's trip, going to M&M World. He thought it was the coolest thing ever :)

We also caught the King's Tournament at the Excalibur. Very cool! I have been wanting to go for years, and we were not disappointed.

Alex and Dad with Merlin!

After we checked out of the Bellagio, we drove to Pahrump where Mark's brother Jon and his family live. Saturday we got to go to our nephew Nathan's baptism, and on Sunday we got to see our new niece Annabelle's blessing. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but we had a lot of fun, and we were so glad we got to be there!
