Happy Birthday Raquell!

Last weekend was our oldest niece Raquells 14th birthday. She is the oldest granddaughter and Alexa is the youngest. It is amazing how fast this year has gone by, not only watching Alexa grow up, also the rest of the kids in the family. Here is a picture of us at Raquells birthday last year, Alexa was only 10 days old. LOL, disregard the pretty nursing sports bra I am wearing, really cute lime color. My baby was soooo little, her pacifier is bigger than her little face!

Fireworks!

Friday was the most exhausting day ever, we had a long day and night, it was worth it though! Let me start by saying that, Christian wanted Alexa to be born on the 4th of July from the beginning, me on the other hand, did not. But, of course Alexa listened when daddy said he would always have fireworks every year for her birthday. We didn't see any the day she was born but, a year later, daddy kept his promise. She absolutely loved it!

Getting ready for the fireworks!

I got my hood on, it was cold out!

Marina and I are ready with our blankets!The fireworks were taking long to start, and I wanted my hood off!

Here we go!

We loved the smiley one!

Can you tell how much I liked my fireworks!

Happy 1st Birthday Alexa!!

We can not believe that a year ago we were blessed with this beautiful child. No words can describe how thankful we are. Alexa had a great birthday, it was a very stressful preperation, but everything turned out great! Here are a few pics from her day.

Good Morning Birthday Girl!
