Happy 7th Birthday, Lexan!!

Friday August 23rd my nephew turned 7!!! I can't believe how fast he growing! I feel like he was just a baby and now he is running around acting like a brat, but what kids doesn't at that age, haha ;). Saturday we got the celebrate with a cookout and swimming. It was a great day for swimming for sure! Lexan seemed to have a great party as he was running around in his underwear after he was done swimming. LOL

 Happy 7th Birthday, Lexan!! 

 Time for gifts

He got a sword he has been wanting from Aunt Courtney & Uncle Shane.

 He got some clothes.

 He got himself a tablet, since he loves stealing phones and playing games on them :)

That's the end of this Birthday!! Until next year....

Weekend Recap

It's Monday again and another weekend has gone. I hope everyone had a good weekend! We had a pretty good weekend, I just wish they could be longer. :)

Friday: After I got off work we went to dinner at our normal Friday night place Fronteras. It's so yummy and a nice way to begin a weekend with yummy food and drinks. :) After dinner we headed back home and hung out on the deck for a little while and had a couple drinks. The rest of the night we just relaxed and watched some TV.

Saturday: We got up Saturday morning and headed out for our weekly grocery shopping. We came home and was getting stuff ready for the brisket Shane was going to smoke. I decided I needed to clean and organize the basement so I did, which didn't take super long, thank goodness. It wasn't super bad but just needed a good touch up. LOL

 After cleaning the basement I decided to check out plane ticket prices for MX. We will be going to Cabo again in October! They had a good deal on tickets so we bought them! I'm so excited for our trip and can't wait to leave! We will be meeting another couple there we meet a few years ago! So excited to see them and hang out for a week!

Shane got the brisket all ready and on the smoker. Doesn't it look yummy! It was very good. We had a friend, my sister and nephew over to hang out and have dinner with us that night.

Lexan and Me, I made him take some pictures with me. When I asked him if he wanted to take a picture he told me "No". LOL well he did it anyways. Isn't he a cutie! I just love him. 



Sunday: We did some chores around the house and relaxed most of the day. Shane got our new picture and candle holders hung up. They look so cute hung above our couch (I will post some pictures later). I just need to buy some candles for the holders and they will be completed. :)
I got a sweet tooth so I decided to bake something yummy. I will post the recipe later. For dinner we had Steak, Cheese & Bacon Potato Rounds, Corn on the Cob and Bread. The Cheese & Bacon potato rounds were a new recipe I tried. They turned out really good (Recipe to follow soon).

That concludes our fulfilled weekend. Now let's hope this work week goes by pretty fast!

30 Days to Being Thankful {Day 6} - My Nephew Lexan

Day 6: I'm thankful for my nephew Lexan Matthew Fox. I can't believe how big he is now. I love him so much and so happy to have this little guy as my nephew!

Our wedding day. He was our ring bearer. 

 This was just this past Friday. Shane was showing him a flight sim game on the computer. 

T-Rex w/ Lexan

My nephew turned 5 back on the 23rd and for his birthday Shane and I decided to take him to the T-Rex Cafe as his gift. We wanted to do something different for him instead of clothes and toys like always. We thought he would enjoy this.
Last Sunday was the day we took him there. At first he was scared of the huge dinosaurs but the more time we were in there he warmed up to them. He actually was putting his head inside the one by our table. HAHA! By the time we left he didn't want to go he wanted to watch them all. LOL. He had  a good time there. He got to dig in the sand for dino fossils he really enjoyed that. I think this was a great birthday gift for him!

This was at the door when you walked in

This was right in front when you walked in the door. Lexan wasn't too sure about this but when we were leaving he wanted to stay and watch it. LOL

Uncle Shane made him a penny. He was excited. haha

Big smile for having fun!

Aunt Courtney and Lexan waiting for lunch

He was having fun touching the dinos tongue.

Digging in the sand

This was the face of someone who DID NOT want to leave. :(

Photo Shoot: Lexan

Last Sunday I took my nephew out to do a photo shoot for this 5th birthday. I still can't believe he is 5! CRAZY! I decided to take him to a cute park by our house it's called Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park. Shane and I had our engagements pictures done there last year. Lexan had a fun time and he is such a little cheeser for the camera. I love it! After our photo shoot we took him to the T-Rex Cafe as our birthday gift to him (Photos to come later). 

Here are some of the pictures from Lexan's Shoot!

Lexan's 5th B-Day Party

My nephew Lexan turned 5 on August 23rd. It's crazy to thing he is already 5, wasn't he just born yesterday! LOL. Last weekend was his birthday party at Chuck-e-cheese. He had a lot of fun there! My sister asked if I would take pictures at his party, well of course I will! I had fun getting pictures of his birthday. It was super hot in there with me running around and just a lot of people, my face was so red and I was sweating (it was gross!). But I survived and had a great time and got some good pictures of his party. I took over 100 pictures but I wanted to post just a few on here to share.

This weekend I'm going to take Lexan out and do a photo shoot for his 5ht birthday! I'm very excited to do this he should be such a ham and have fun too. After the photo shoot Shane and I are taking him to the

T-Rex Cafe to celebrate his birthday. This is our gift to him. I wanted to do something different for him rather then buying toys or clothes. This cafe looks like fun and he loves dinosaurs so he should have fun!

This was his balloon for his b-day table.

Lexan & Taylor just came down the slide together.

                                     He was having a blast on this! I love his face in this picture.

                                    Yes he did this face just for the camera. He's such a little ham!

Make a wish birthday boy!

Birthday Boy!

                      He wasn't too sure about Chuckie. But he did good and got a few pictures with him.

What is a party without cake on my nose....LOL
