our trip...wow

So there would be too many pictures on the blog if I post everything but here is what it was like. I got up at 3:30 am to start getting ready for the day on Saturday the 15th of May. Then got Alex up at the lovely hour of 4:50am. Wandered next door the our neighbors who where graciously taking us the two hour one way drive to the Atlanta airport.
Our plane departed at 8:35am. Alex did great...GO GO PANE GO! Landed in Detroit where we meet Gama and PAPA. They drove us back to Kalamazoo, our final destination for the week. Alex had to stretch his legs and ride Daddy's old tricycle.On Sunday we drove to Uncle Stevie's to meet for the first time Great Grampa Arnold!
We also picked up rocks and put them in our pockets with Nana, that were found later by Mommy doing laundry! And found a caterpillar that we had to carry around. We had a great trip to the Binder Park zoo with Aunt Faith and Poppy. Alex thought the goats were dogs! Well what can you say.
Alex also had to help Gama and Papa mow the yard and spread out the grass clippings on the trail. We had to help Gama water her plants.Alex watched for birds and rabbits out the windows. But our favorite pastime was the hot tub that he got to swim in every night!

KICK & PLAY

Alex received a hammy down toy from the neighbors and it has become his favorite thing. It is a Zebra that spins had bounces and Alex goes wild on it.It also plays music, makes galloping noises and whinnies! He always gets on it at the most inconvenient time. But that's a child for you! We still love him and it's great to see him getting crazy on it. He can barley control the spinning and bouncing with out falling off!

From ALEX to MOMA

For Mother's Day Geoff tries to make the day relaxing. Geoff let me sleep in, I couldn't so I finished my book instead. Then taking a nice no husband no child nothing but the hot water and me shower. This Mom's don't get often. When I was done Alex and Geoff had made me breakfast, blueberry pancakes with sausage, which I had to share with Alex. And Alex had drawn me a picture that I will always cherish. What a great start to a day!

Happy Mothers Day!

So every year I try to do something creative for Alex's Grandma's but it gets tougher every year not to mention having to do Father's Day in there too! I appreciate home made...made by child things. I'm a sap I know! So this year moving to Georgia it came quite easily. They have the biggest pine cones I have ever seen. So with the help of Daddy we collected enough and made Bird Feeders! They turned out soo cute, although Alex rather enjoyed eating the Peanut Butter, it was still fun! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOM'S OUT THERE ESPECIALLY MINE!
