Random Post

Well we are living in Philadelphia now, and the apartments are great. We live on the pent house floor, and it's the best apartment we've ever had for the summer. Unfortunately the pool is not kid friendly. They don't allow kids in swim diapers. It's been raining a lot so we haven't gone down to pretend like Alex doesn't wear one anymore, but we will. It's been really good to see Mark again, Alex has been loving it! Also Alex loves to ride on the Elegator (Elevator). Since we don't have a car, Alex and I have been going on quite a few walks. Luckily there is a grocery store and a Wal-Mart that are within walking distance. We haven't really done a lot of interesting things yet, so here are a few random pictures. Sorry this is a really lame post!

I made some cupcakes that were supposed to look like sharks and life preservers, but they didn't really turn out that well. I thought that the teeth looked good though.

Today Alex said, "Momma, sticker on nose!" It wasn't really on his nose, and I thought that he looked like Hitler or Charlie Chaplin so I took a picture. Ok sorry for wasting your time!

Good Bye Home...For Now

Alex and I are moving out to Philadelphia for a couple of months. We are excited to spend some time with Mark, and to see some cool stuff too! It will be hard to leave our house, but I hear that they have some very nice apartments in Philly. I will definitely be keeping up with the blog while I am out there, because I am finally done working! Yahoo! Also, some of you already know this, but we are having another boy. Hopefully he and Alex will be great friends.

Memorial Day

Some of you may not know this but, Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays. I enjoy going to cemeteries and learning things about my ancestors. When I was in high school I really enjoyed going to the cemeteries with my Grandma Welch, and she would tell me stories about her parents, siblings, and others. I wish I would have written things down! Well this was Alex's first year visiting the cemeteries because we were living in Cleveland last year, and he was too little the year before. At one point I was putting him in the car, and I told him we were going to another cemetery. He cried and said "No, not another cemetery!" I think he eventually liked it though, especially when he got to pull around the red wagon from his Uncle Alex's grave.

Here is Alex pulling the wagon.

Here is Alex trying to walk Lindsey's dog Izzy.

Here is Alex with his Uncle Alex

We stayed at the ranch, and Alex put on Grandma's shoes and snuck out to do some exploring. At one point he also snuck outside wearing my pink heels.

Alex loves riding the four wheeler, he will miss his rides with Pa Pa Welch because we are moving to Philadelphia this week.

Happy Birthday Alex

I am just trying to catch up on a few things, so sorry about all of the late posts. Here is Alex's 2nd birthday it was on May 8th.

His cake is rocket from the Little Einsteins, his favorite show.

Alex really got into blowing out the candle, we had to do it many times.

Here is the trike that Alex got, it was a big hit.

Aunt Lindsey gave Alex a velcro mitt and ball, and a tee ball set. Do you think she wants him to play baseball? I wonder. All of Alex's aunts, uncles, and grandparents gave him lots of cards and presents and he loved them all! Thanks everybody.

Hogle Zoo

Well we went to the zoo over a month ago and now I am putting some pictures of that up. I will hopefully be a better blogger soon!

This mountain lion was cool, he was snarling at something.

I guess after seeing one mean looking lion, this kid wasn't about to stick his head in this guy's mouth. I don't blame him.

Too bad you can't really see the camel, but at least we look cute.

Lindsey what are you doing?
