HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!

It is crazy to think that I have a seven year old. He is such a great kid and a perfect fit in our family.
Since Alex is 7 I am going to list seven things I love about my Alex.
1) His laugh. He has the most contagious laugh of anyone I know.
2)His thirst for knowledege. This kid is a sponge when it comes to learning. He LOVES school. He is always wondering about how things work and why. He is going to be our scientist in the family.
3)He is so loving and caring. He knows when someone needs a hug or just some cuddling.
4)Alex has the sweetest spirit ever. He is very sensitive to the workings of the spirit. I am amazed at how much he knows about the Gospel already.
5)The way he adores his brother. They love to play together and Alex hardly complains about it. He is always watching out for his brother. I am grateful they love each other so much.
6)His creativity. He can make up stories with the best of them. He also is an amazing artist.
7)He loves to read. We never have to beg this kid to read books. He is also very good at reading to his brother.
We have a tradition in our family that the birthday person gets a picture wall dedicated to them for the day. So here it is in blog form.

We have to agree at our house that his laugh is our all time favorite. Jayce thinks he is the funniest kid ever and when he laughs she can't help herself and laughs right along.

Thanks for inviting her to his party. She had such a great time. You are the best mom... always such an example to me!
