Alex's 1st Day of Preschool!

Today was Alex's first day of Preschool! He will be spending his 5 year old year at Messiah Lutheran Preschool in Prosser. We are so excited for him!  When we got there he let go of my hand and walked right in without me. This Mama got a little choked up, but shed no tears. Maybe later.

 So excited to go to school!

Homework

Alex's first homework assignment. I loved it! He wanted help with how to spell blue and then decided he'd just sound the rest out. So fun!

Kidz 1st Fall Soccer

 This fall our church is running a soccer league and Alex is finally old enough to play. Here are a few pictures from one of his first practices. (I apologize for the poor quality....they were shot from far away while I was trying to keep an eye on a busy toddler.)

The Slip n Slide

 AKA the new "drinking fountain."

Sprinkler Weather

Today's accomplishments included shooting the new bubble guns and playing in the sprinkler. It was in the mid 80's by the time we got home from the store at 10:30! Loving this Grandview Weather!

 And then he was done...

 And then this one was done and we went inside for naps!

Snowy Day

Somebody take that boy outside!

Happy little man!

Alex's First Shave

Christmas Day

What a lovely Christmas we had in the new house. Alex was so excited he was up 5 times during the night asking if Santa had come yet. Finally around 7am we let him go see what Santa brought. My pictures are kind of lousy this year. I was tired and put my camera on auto and just got what I got. The memories are still there though. :)

Santa brought Alex a wrecking ball truck with a building you can knock down over and over, just like he asked for!

Santa brought Asher his own guitar. He loves it.
Opening stockings. (If you didn't know what I look like rolled out of bed, avert your eyes. It's scary.)

Seth got an awesome recorder for his mac, from the Ericksons. Now they expect a CD... :)

Just scary.

Asher's tunnel

Bohemian chic?

"Hey Alex! What did you get?"
Got my kindle!

Alex got a video camera

Asher's microphone (We think he's going to be our musician)

Pie in a tunnel

Ready for dinner!

Yum!
