Papa's Birthday

My Papa celebrated his 70th Birthday this year.

He came by our place and we baked him a mini cake.

Alex of course couldn't wait: sang, blew out the candle and took a big bite.

Alex's 8th Birthday

Last week was Alex's 8th birthday. On his actual birthday, we celebrated with just the 3 of us.




Since we have been busy every weekend in May, we decided to keep his party small, with just family and a few friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY

With LOVE Always, Armilyn & Alexander

Birthday Highlights from Thanksgiving (Thursday - Saturday):

Thanksgiving at Mom & Dad Nix's house.

The family playing Apples to Apples game - Oom Sam won!

The morning of David's Birthday, we walked at Shipley's Nature Center.

A dirt track sits right outside the nature center where people race their hot wheels.

Our little soiree for David. Great tapas style eating. 

Kyrin performed a little guitar solo for David.

Sweet P getting sleepy from our party - apparently not enough action for her.

All Aboard for Alex's Birthday!

Back in January, we discovered the Orange County Model Engineers and their free train rides for the public every third weekend of the month. Well, it worked out that one of those weekends fell right before Alex's birthday. So of course we had to have the party over there. Some of the kids from Alex's class were able to make it as well as some cousins.


Our baby is 7 years old! Make a wish sweetie.
