Halloween!

Our Silly Little Monkey!

We had to bribe him with cookies to get him to wear his costume, but once people started giving him candy he was pretty content to wear it.

This year Halloween was more like a week long event. Alexander got to go trick-or-treating with his cousins Miley & Anya at Uncle Dan's School. (Unfortunately. due to camera malfunction I don't have any pictures of it, but they were adorable!!) Then he went trick-or-treating at Daddy's school; then he went to our ward's trunk or treat.... Needless to say we have way too much candy!

He Loved the concept of people just giving you candy, we couldn't get him to say trick-or-treat, or thank you when trick-or-treating(he would say it to us but when he was actually in front of someone he would just smile quietly), he would however, blow people kisses after they put candy in his bucket :)

By the time Halloween arrived he was a little tuckered out from all the fun! On Halloween we got to spend time carving pumpkins & playing with cousins! :)

Alexander & Anya playing beautiful music!

At the end of the night we went to Papa & Nana Dawson's to play and although all the little kids were adorable, Aunt Ashley takes the prize for best costume, and make-up! :)

First Family Camping Trip

We took our first family camping trip this last July! The weather was beautiful, the view was amazing. We got to spend time with family, see elk and deer, go hiking, play in the water, Alexander hand more rocks and sticks then he knew what to do with... And Papa Dawson took us all to a spot that had literally thousands of ladybugs! It was a great trip and hopefully something that will become a family tradition in our home! :)

He wasn't quite sure what to do about the singing, or the candle.

(Isn't he precious!)
Our little boy turned 1 last Tuesday March 9th! (I can't believe it has already been a year, the time is going by way too fast! ) We celebrated with family and a couple close friends with cupcakes and ice-cream! Alexander had a cake that looked like a giant cupcake he wasn't really sure what to do with it or the candle, but had a great time!He had his 1 year check-up two days later on March 11th, and the doc. reported that he is a perfect, happy, healthy baby boy!!!

Alexander started walking a couple weeks before his first birthday, and as of yesterday is climbing!

He still eats everything(just like his daddy), he LOVES dogs; he loves going to the park, and being outside, and is constantly banging on the front door, and saying out!
