All about Xander


This blog is all about him. He is my one! He is the one I am with all day and my buddy.
Like the other day when we were playing outside waiting for Dad to come home.
He kept getting pop out of the garage and one happened to role down the driveway
and punctured it.
Sprayed in a nice little stream
Everywhere.
Then he figured out how to drink it!
Dr. Pepper in foamy squirts. Yum!
It was actually kind of cool that it streamed out and was a steady consistent squirt as well.
Like a Dr. Pepper Slurpee minus ice.

He loves grapes. He dragged the chair out of the garage because I had one out and we shared grapes.

On the weekend we are lucky to have Dad with us. We went up to Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend where Dad got to fish and Xander played in the water with his truck!

It is just all about him.
Wait until we have #2
Not here yet
but we are trying :)

Lagoon


This is the one image I got from our Family Reunion Trip in Utah. It was so much fun that I did not have time to take pictures. We drove to Utah on Thursday and listened to Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief on the way there. The kids loved it! Jeremy dropped us off at the Hotel and took Wyatt home. He once again did not want to stay with us. But oh well, life is all about choices. Makenzee, Dylan, Xander and I swam and swam and then when Jeremy got back to the Hotel, we went and had a nice dinner. We are trying to teach the kids to have some manners but that is rather hard when Xander won't sit still. Oh well, we try.

Friday we went swimming at my Cousin's neighborhood pool. My brother Jeff brought his DJ equipment and everyone was having a great time until we got the HOA called on us by some unhappy, stick up their butt, people. Who have no idea what the word FUN means.

My brother Jeff is awesome and has done over 50 block parties, pool parties etc....in Colorado. And never once had a complaint. Most people ask if they can join in and he gladly welcomes anyone. He does games for the kids and makes things tons of fun.

He decides to bring the fun to Utah. And look what happens! YUCK! So glad I live in Colorado!

Anyway, we didn't let the Yuckies bother us and still had fun! Xander could have swam forever. He kept trying to jump into the big pool. The kid has NO FEAR. I hope it stays!

Saturday we went to Lagoon where we took the picture. We were not going to have a ride pass for him, but we are glad we changed our mind. He went on more rides then me! Loved the roller coaster "Puff" and every circle ride!

Quote from Jeremy who loved taking his little guy on all the rides!
"This is what it is all about Nichole" "It is so fun to see Xander so Happy"

Happy Happy Day!

Neighbors


I love our Neighbors! We are so lucky to have the Wheeler family next door! The kids love their kids! Wyatt is over there pretty much every day when they are here for their visit and then the kids run back and forth between the houses! We have so much fun. Today they played LEGOS and then we had snacks in front.

Jacob and Xander are about 3 months apart. It will be fun to see them grow up together!

Makenzee the little Photographer captured this cheeser of Xander!

What a DUDE!
