Fun!

Robert, Cara and Alex watching a movie in 3-D
Alex thought he was pretty cool!

I made homemade pizza with yeastless dough. It turned out pretty fabulous! The first one was ham, olives and cheese and the second was buffalo chicken. Both had a white cream sauce instead of tomato sauce. Yummy!!

She is a cheeseball. This is the only look I can get right now with the camera. Slightly creepy....

Alex in hand-me-down jammies from California :)

So, where do I begin with our saga this week? I think I may have mentioned that we are getting Alex tested for food allergies. He had a blood panel done a few weeks ago and the results have started coming in. So far he isn't allergic to raspberries, strawberries, coconut, tangerines, lentils, sugar cane and gluten. He is, however, highly allergic to the cow protein in milk...so in other words, he has a major dairy allergy :( Today was our first day being completly dairy free. It's insane what kinds of things have milk in them!!! We don't know if he is allergic to soy or almonds yet, so I am thinking we will probably do rice milk until then???? This is just all so new to me! I hope he grows out of it. It will be nice to sit down with the doctor once we have all the results in and talk it over. I will definitly keep you updated on the situation!! More later...

More views from Cara and the beach :)

The street in front of our house.

We went to the beach the other day and it was fabulous. The base down here is right on the bay, so we can just go on base and go to the ocean :) It's nice and calm, almost like a lake. Perfect for the child (Alex) who actually hates the ocean. The kids had a fabulous time!! The other pictures are from Cara. She really does LOVE the camera. I am thinking she will probably be getting one of those kids camera's for christmas!

The many faces of Alex....

This little boy is so dear to my heart!! He is just the funniest little person ever....when he isn't driving his sister batty (on purpose). Alex has just drown these last few weeks in daycare by leaps and bounds!! He finally has full sentances (woo hoo!), he can count to ten and recognize the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8, and apparently, he recognizes all the letters in TOSHIBA along with a multitude of other letters, as he is always telling what the letters are on the back of my laptop, he is finally on his way to being fully potty trained and he can draw circles :) I think one of the cutest things he does is sing the alphabet along with Pig on Super Why. I also think it's cute that when the four little characters on the show put their hands together and chant "Super readers to the rescue!!", he and Cara both find me (wherever I am in the house), make me put my hands in the middle, and we all chant together. I love that he loves to count down from 5 and then use every tiny bit of energy he has to jump (using both feet) off the ground. I also love it when he sings "I've Got a Dream" from Tangled. He can already carry a tune better than his big sister. I am afraid she might be a little tone deaf....I am just so proud of my little boy. I try not to treat him like the baby of the family, but it's difficult. He is the baby. He can get Cara to do pretty much anything for him. I am not sure how good of a thing that is :) I just thought I would update you on the little boy in our world. I feel as if I don't really do updates on him (in a positive way) and I really wanted to show his good side!!! He totally has one, even though he is a pill sometimes!

cute smiles :)

Why is it they they are ALWAYS in the bathtub when they make the sweetest smiles?????

Jello Cake!

The kids had jello cake for the first time tonight.....needless to say, it is now their favorite along with mine!! They just couldn't get enough of it :)

Yes, he is licking his plate clean. I don't normally let them do this, but he was so super excited about the cake, I had to just smile, laugh and take a picture!!!
