Happy 2nd Birthday Alexander!
Our lil boy is two years old!! We celebrated Alexito's birthday "building" memories with close friends and family. Although Alexander was trying to "demolish" the stomach flu (his birthday was actually the 3rd day of the illness), he had a great time with his cousins, Rebecca and Dylan, and friends, Evan, Cassidy, Cathy, Jared, Natalie, Gabrielle, Drew, and Helena! The twins (Gabby & Natalie) bested everyone at "Pin the Wheel on the Payloader" and "Boulder." Daddy and Mommy were so thrilled that everyone had a fun time at AAA's Construction Party. Daddy worked hard designing the theme for the party, including screening our special shirts! The birthday cake from French's Cupcake Bakery was wonderful and displayed Daddy's payloader! The best gift, however, was that our lil boy finally felt better (after falling asleep for 3.5 hrs before we were able to sing Happy Birthday) and enjoyed the rest of the evening at home with his grandparents and tios and tias, playing with Rebecca at the condo, and opening his many, many presents.

choo choo!
Alexander got this train last year for Christmas but we hid since he had so many toys already and this was a little kore advanced. He saw it today when we were in his closet so I had to open it open. This picture is about 5 min after I got everything working. Chocolate, George and Spot are in their VIP spots and he's already figured out how to work the remote.
Geniosity in action.
crazy kid ...
Alexander was goofing around with Grandma & Grandpa yesterday. Picture cracks me up. (Grandparents confirmed that Gpa was very, very, very close by, in case AAA or Albert decided he wanted to get off!)
