Happy Happy birthday to my baby!




I remember when my baby actually was a baby... It seems like so long ago (6 long yrs ago!) and now he's a little boy..
.










A super cute little boy, but he'll always be my baby!



I don't have any baby pics on this computer... But he looks so little in these!








PART 1 of the celebration:
He decorated his own cake, I think he did a good job! He got all the candy out of the closet and tried to use a little of everything...
Nic and Laura gave him a severed foot, we got to eat with it at the dinner table! FUN!
This is just disgusting! I was gagging for her! My family is really weird.. All night long Nic and Laura were playing with the severed foot.. They cut it open and discovered candy bones inside!! They were so pleased with themselves they kept talking about going back for the severed hand!
PART 2: Alex, Lo, and I went to the planetarium
We went to a 3D movie I have now been traumatized for life!!! They introduce you to a caterpillar and a praying mantis... Of course everyone likes the caterpillar more because she's going to turn into a butterfly... But I cared about that praying mantis too! I didn't want him to be eaten by the lizard... I was worried when he shed his hard outer skin and he was vulnerable... Well the caterpillar turns into a pretty butterfly... and there she is eating nectar from a pretty rain forest flower when... CRUNCH! The praying mantis eats her!!! Then he discards her pretty wings into the river below and we watch them float away. WORST MOVIE EVER! No one wants to see a butterfly die! It was mean... I'm still not over it!!! Then I started to wonder how they were able to follow the same praying mantis and caterpillar/butterfly over the duration of filming.. They were in the rain forest!! I think they placed those bugs where they wanted them for their own movie ambition! I bet they killed that butterfly on purpose so they could add drama! They probably weren't even really in the rain forest!!! I am really mad at that movie! Next time I am sticking with Deep Sea 3D!
After the devastating death of the butterfly we went to Leatherbys


I love Leatherbys... So many good ice cream memories... And they have the best fries and fry sauce!!! Alex kept saying "I can't get over these fries! They're SO good" (I have taught him well!)PART 3: The actual birthday
Blowing out the candles
Building legos (that's what I do ALL day long because they fall apart SO easily! I use to think Legos were SO awesome.. I'm beginning to hate them!)
Oh baby! The pizza! If you've never tried the gourmet vegetarian from Papa Murphys you have not lived!! It is the BEST!!! Even Alex likes it!
Dern Legos and the cake! Cupcakes... I had to buy 3 bags of M&Ms just to get enough orange ones!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXANDER!!
