Pearly Whites

Well, today was a much anticipated day for little Alex. After almost 2 1/2 years of having a mouthful of braces, Alex has gotten his braces off!!!! I honestly think I was a little more excited than he was. But just for fun, i'm posting some before and after pictures. He sure has grown alot over the past two year. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Barry Quick and his entire office staff. They have been so sweet and so helpful during the braces processes.

Happy Birthday Alex

Well, today my baby boy turned 14. It's hard to believe that he and I have both made it through all these years with each other. Alex is absolutely one of the best kids ever. While he has his normal 14 year old moments, for the most part he is very mild mannered and usually minds and makes good decisions. It's always hard to have birthday parties for him because his birthday is actually on the 4th of July, so this year we just had a family weekend and it was absolutely amazing. We started the weekend early with a traveler's game on Thursday night, Friday night he got to have Cody over for awhile while Mike, Courtney and me went to dinner and fireworks, and then Saturday we rode go-karts, opened presents, had a cookout and watched fireworks that night. He also got to have Cody and Christian spend the night. Then on Sunday the family went to the Discovery Museum in Little Rock. I hope he had a great birthday. I love you Alex! You are the best son ever!
