Christopher Alexander's Baptism

On May 14th we had the pleasure of baptism Christopher Alexander. It was a wonderful day surrounded by family to celebrate our beautiful baby boy. Christopher was so perfect and he looked gorgeous in his special christening outfit. My brother and his fiance Courtney flew in for the special day and all of Alex's family came from College Station. Their travels are just a testament to how much this baby boy is loved. We couldn't be more thankful for Drew (Alex's Brother) and Courtney Piper my brothers fiance for being the Godparents of our baby boy. The day was perfect, surrounded in love and a great memory for the baby.

Blessing to you always Christopher...we love you

Happy 4th Birthday Aida!!

This weekend was Aida's very happy 4Th Birthday weekend! We had so much fun. Her birthday fun started on Wednesday with cupcakes and presents and grandma's house. Then on Saturday we had all of her friends to her Rainbow themed birthday party at McDonald's! Aida knew since Christmas she wanted a "rainbow" birthday party and so that is just what she had. We invited all of her friends to McDonald's for happy meals and birthday cake. The party was super fun and all the kids had a great time playing on the play land. Aunt Re made her special birthday tutu and bow and she looked perfect! This really was one of the most stress free birthdays we have had -- the key is having it at a "place" where you don't have to set up or clean up! We had a great time and Aida was a very happy little birthday princess. Here are some pictures of all of our fun : Opening presents at Grandma's house while Baby Christopher watches on...

Doesn't his look say "ummm where are my presents??"

After the party all of the cousins took naps and then went into our backyard to play in the pools. Baby Christopher got in the pool too...He loved it!

Look at him in his precious baby flip flops! I couldn't stand it...

Here are the things I want to remember most about Aida's Birthday this year...

1. That she kept telling everyone she was turning 10 and got really offended when you reminded her she was only 4

2. How set she was at having a "rainbow" birthday party...she knew she wanted this since Christmas of 2010!

3. How much she wanted to make sure that Christopher was coming to the party too...

4. How cute she was playing with all of her cousins and friends. She really just enjoyed all the fun and played so hard.

Happy Birthday Angel Face...
