Auntie is home!!!

Welcome home Auntie Alise! We missed you while you were in Honk Honk (aka Hong Kong).

Clayson's 1st Birthday Party

We had a Construction party...if you look at his t-shirt is says "I Dig Being 1". I still can't believe my baby is 1. WOW!!!

Clayson had so much fun at his party. He was done opening presents half way through and was ready to play with his new toys.

look at the way he's looking at the camera...what do you think he was thinking. haha

Yummy!

After eating his cake, Clayson had blue frosting everywhere...even up his nose.

Partying made Clayson & Fonzi tired!

Alexandria's Dance Recital

A week later...but here are the pictures.

Alexandria had her first dance recital on the 19th. She was so excited to dance "on the big stage." Some of our family and friends were there to cheer her on.

Her first performance was ballet...and many performances later was her tap performance. Of course a group of 14 two and three year olds were not "perfect" in their moves, but it sure was adorable!

After doing Alexandria's hair, Clayson wanted to get a little hairspray action in.

After the recital we went to dinner. Alexandria wanted her dress off the shoulders...like Princess Jasmine.

It's HOT!

It's hot outside and not much cooler in the house. Our AC is broken!!! Yikes!

Happy 1st Birthday, Clayson!

I can't believe that my baby is 1. Wow...time sure does fly by. We celebrated today by baking cupcakes and going to Chuck-E-Cheese for lunch. Clayson wasn't afraid of the characters and he loved playing the games. I really can't believe that this year has gone by so fast, but at the same time, a lot has changed. Clayson is changing every day. He really keeps me very busy. I've said it before...being a Mommy is so much fun!

Disneyland Pictures

Aside from the fact that it poured the first day we were at Disneyland...we had a blast!!!

Clayson's first experience with coloring crayons.

Clayson was amazed the entire time! He kept saying "oh-wow!" about everything.

Clayson's idea of giving baby Mickey kisses.

you can't go to Disney without buying some ears!!!

Princesses & Characters

Alexandria and her all-time favorite...Princess Jasmine

Waiting for the Electrical Parade to begin.

As you can see...we had so much fun!!! Can't wait to go again.

By the way - Clayson began walking the minute I sat him in the hotel room. He's all over the place now!
