Alex turns 4!!!

So Al and I left ALyssa's party 45 minutes early to put up Brian and Amara and get to Alex's 4th birthday 45 minutes late! When we got there, the cake and ice cream and gifts part was done but the swimming had just begun! So we stripped down and got in the water. Alaric was so excited to be with Daddy!
He was in such a good mood and so confident. It's not like him to get on his kickboard when he could be in a floaty. He was a force to be reckoned with....until he capsized, went under and panicked. I lifted him up, talked him through it, and he recovered, just with a bit more hesitation!

Mara, our water baby, was no different today- these two were the last ones out of the water!
The Germans!
The Fultons and Liz, Alex's mom chat in the water ( can you believe I didn't get ONE picture of the birthday boy? I'm so bad!)
Mara tries a noodle for the first time!
We had the whole pool to ourselves and there were lots of people there.
Kinda family picture- Alaric was done with pics for the day- I don't blame him
Bri had all the kids on him at one time or another- what fun!
THis is Brayden just seconds before he attacked Kelton's daddy as revenge!
After drying off, getting dressed, a trip to the grocery store, feeding the kids at 5PM- both kids were in bed by 6 and Brian and I were so grateful! Too much for one day- TOO TOO much! Thank goodness it was all fun stuff. Brian and I even got to rent Angels and Demons and watch it alone- it was a perfect ending to a great weekend!
