Alex

We started a new thing where every month of the kids' birthdate (Alex's birthday is Aug. 12 so every 12th of the month) is their "special day". I got this idea from another mom in my homeschool group. On that day the kids don't have to do chores, they get to choose the dinner, and they go on a date with mom or dad (rotating). For Alex's date we went miniature golfing (no stitches this time, but a few close calls! Be careful around Alex when he's holding a golf club!) and played a few games at the arcade. (We're trying not to make food a part of it at all.) Alex was so cute. He kept telling me how much fun he was having. It was fun to spend time with just him.

Alex got new glasses! He's so cute! He was extremely excited about them. Now he has glasses like his cousin Dallin! Nathan is a bit jealous.
