The BIG 2!

Xander was born 7-29-2007, and although it feels like just yesterday we were going to the hospital two years have flown by! Our little baby boy has grown up into a rough and tumble toddler! We have enjoyed every second of being Xander's parents, he has filled our lives with so much love, joy, and laughter. There's nothing that can explain the love we have for our little X-man!

For his big day we celebrated by having a pool party and barbeque at my Aunt's! Xander is like a fish in water and has no fears! Our brave little guy has no second thought about jumping off the diving board and going down the slide into the pool.

He loves every minute he spends splishing and splashing in the water. When we were all water logged we busted out the presents and when I say busted I mean it, Nick was so excited to give Xander our present he brought the best out first instead of last! Xander was extatic to see his big boy tonka bike!

And had no plans on getting off it to open his other gifts, so when i tried to put him in his chair you can only imagine how he reacted.....

so long story short he ended up opening the rest of the loot while sitting on his bike. We finished with the good ol' cake and ice cream!

























Bye Bye Shag... Hello MULLET!

Well we finally decided to get rid of Xander's long hair a week or so into July. Nick was begging to give Xander a mullet and of course my first response was "NO WAY!" But after some pleading and pouting I made a deal with Nick that if we did give our poor son a mullet that it would only last ONE day... Nick tried to negotiate but I stood my ground and he promised, so don't judge, we did it!


We had the perfect timing because we did it the night just before Nick's grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary! So he sported it for the dinner with the family and then had it completely cut for the big celebration at the park. It was so funny because you could actually tell that he enjoyed having it because of all the attention he got, of course it was mainly everyone laughing at him but that didn't matter to him, he just smiled and laughed along with, he's so funny!
