Alex turns 4 and Zach is 19 months

I'm as far behind as I've ever been on my blog updates so you should see another one coming relatively soon.  Summer was a blast and went way to fast.  The kids are getting big and Zach is really talking up a storm. 

One of Alex's favorite days of the summer - Cammie's birthday!


The next week he had his eye surgery.  All went well, he doesn't have to wear a patch anymore but he is still in glasses.  Hopefully over time he will be able to get out of them since he does have 20/20 vision.

Alex and Maggie.  You can still see Alex's eyes were a little red from his surgery - it lasted about 6 - 8 weeks.

Alex and Zach having a bonding moment with the iPad!

Until Zach started to pet Alex!

GG and her grandkids!  Zach obviously isn't a fan of the group picture.


Trent, Lea, and Spencer - everyone is growing up so fast!

So Pete did a pretty amazing thing for my 40th Birthday!  He gave me a surprise birthday party!!  I do love surprises!!  It was a great weekend filled with so many friends and family!!  Love you Peter - as Mrs Downs say you get husband of the year!

Everyone waiting for me to show up!

Brady, Hannah, Zach, and Leo!  Zach really loved Hannah!!  He kept calling her naming and holding his arms up to pick him up.  He really doesn't do that to anyone, not even me or Maggie.

Maggie made Alex a Doc McStuffing PiƱata for his birthday and since all his cousins were in town we celebrated a little early!















Alex learned what a selfie was this weekend.  Now he asks me to take a selfie of us all the time!



Playing with his new 'kitchen' set he got from NeyNey and Grandpa

Zach loves his cowboy boots!






Lauren came and stayed for a whole week - it was really nice having her around.  The boys really missed her when she left!  Come back Auntie Lauren!!!!!!!!!


We had Alex's birthday and Great Play again this year!!  A ton of fun and very little work for mommy and daddy makes for a really great party!






Of course Alex is next to Cammie!








If you know Alex you know how much he loves Doc McStuffins so that was our theme this year!




Zach enjoyed the cupcake!








Zach always keeps things interesting!!  These two videos prove it!!
