Alex's Birthday

Our little guy had a jam packed birthday to say the least.  This has been the summer of the pool and Alex's birthday was no different.  We headed over to Hilarie's pool and spent the morning enjoying the cool water.  It was fun to have a bunch of cousins, aunts, and grandparents sharing in the fun times.

For his birthday Alex really wanted to go play some games.  For a while we've been wanting to try a new fun center called the Incredible Pizza Company.  Everyone packed up and headed out to Draper for a night full of fun.  We got a little nervous however when the parking lot was completely empty.  A note on the door confirmed out suspicions, it read - "CLOSED DUE TO POWER OUTAGE."  With that the party's venue took an immediate shift to the next best place - Chuck E. Cheese.  I don't anyone was too upset and the kids had fun playing all the little games.

After the games we headed home for cake, ice cream, and presents.  Alex didn't want a lot for his birthday. In truth I think he only had two requests: a dragon cake and a fire truck.  Somehow we managed to come through on both items.  Although we also found Alex a Wiggle Car,  so the kid can ride in style.  I think some of the cousins enjoyed this present more that Alex did, but I'm sure it will grow on him.

After a marathon birthday celebration the day came to a close.  We had a great time and our little boy deserved a great birthday!
