Happy Birthday

My baby is one and it is so bittersweet. I love my children and watching them grow is such a pleasure. But knowing that I will never have anymore like this it's a little sad. I just pray they grow up to be good Christian men then I know I will have done my part. This weekend was the party which was so fun. Alex put cake everywhere, just like he should've. Here are just a few pics from the event.

Long time

Yes, it's been a long time since I've been able to blog. The stresses of two children and a full time job some times takes it's toll. We've been well, except for the occasional stomach bug and runny nose. The kids are growing by leaps and bounds. Alex turns one in a matter of days. Where does the time go? Here are just a few pictures from the past month.

Ironman pics

Here's a few pics from the big race. My husband is AWESOME!!! What a great job.

Ironman

Pics to come later, but MY HUSBAND IS AN IRONMAN!!! It took almost the full time to accomplish, but he did it. He swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and ran (mostly walked) a full marathon 26.2 miles. I haven't felt that much elation since the birth of our children. What an accomplishment. I am so proud of him. Hopefully I can post some pics Monday or Tuesday.

On the move

Alex is growing by leaps and bounds these days it seems. It's hard to imagine where the time went. He's now cruising around everywhere and getting in to EVERYTHING. I love watching him explore new things--my bathtub as of late. He's so funny when he turns on the water. His excitement just builds and he can barely stand himself. Needless to say he's pretty much a water baby. If he could just play in the water for hours on end I'm sure he would do so. This clip I took on Saturday afternoon. We had been to the gym and while I was in the shower I kept hearing an odd noise. Yes, it was my son turning the water on and off. What a mess.

The boys

The weather was absolutely beautiful the other day, so I got outside and took some pics of the boys while they played. They are quite adorable if I do say so myself.

Pictures

I promise only a few more
