Happy Birthday Mom

My Mom turned 65 in October. As most people know...I love birthdays and celebrating them as long as possible. We planned a week long celebration. 

We started the week with a gift of colored  pencils and a coloring book--for adults. It is very relaxing. 

The second day was a cookbook and fun spatulas. 

Day three was some lavender lotion.  Forgot to take a picture. 

Day four was her favorite flowers...white daisies

Day five was Starbucks...coffee and scones. 

On her birthday we had lemon meringue pie and Skyped with Danielle and Trevor. 

Trevor on Skype. Waiting for Danielle to call in

Mom opening her gifts. Of course she is wearing a crown. We got her a reach tool...it is so great in the kitchen.  We also got her a magnifying glass with light. 

We went out for lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Alexis loves eating out with us. Only a picture of the baby...forgot the rest of us. 

Happy 65th birthday Mom. Love you. Sorry we never made it to the beach. Next year. 

Happy Halloween

Alexis was Minnie Mouse for her first Halloween. She was able to wear it four times and we got some great pictures. 

We took Alexis to a pumpkin patch. Here are a few of her in a "my first Halloween" onesie and her costume. She was overtired so no smiles. 

Her first pair of shoes...perfect for her costume. 

Alexis and her BFF Kyle after our workout class. She loves eating her Puffs. 

Once a month a bunch of Mom's with babies get together. This was our Halloween event. Alexis is playing with one of the other babies. 

We tried to take a picture with 10+ babies...ha, ha. Love how Alexis is holding her hands. 

We took Alexis to the Houston zoo for the first time. They had a Halloween event called Zoo Boo. 

Here she is with Daddy...so serious. 

She didn't seem impressed with the zoo. 

She loved the pumpkin patch at the zoo. All smiles. 

Happy Halloween 2015!
