James and Alexis - family party

This is sort of a continuation of my previous post... The night of October 8, 2011 found Amerah and myself at my cousin Sunshine's house for a family birthday party for Jimmy and Alexis.  Jimmy turned 12 on Sept. 30th and Alexis was about to turn 10 on October 11th.  I can't believe that Jimmy and Alexis are that old!  It seems like only yesterday I was rocking Jimmy to sleep and dressing Lexi up in doll clothes because she was so tiny!  Boy does time fly!

The birthday boy and girl...

 

 

 

Opening presents...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because it's hardly worth having a blog if I don't post the goofy family pics... here ya go!

 

I love this one of Sunshine and Alexis...

After the presents and cake... surprise surprise... out came the guitars and everyone started singing.  (YES that IS normal for my family)...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all, a good night with lots of fun!  Dave was at work but was able to make it for the last hour or so.  Happy birthday Jimmy and Alexis with lots of hugs and smooches!

Lexi's Bouncy Birthday

October 8th was a busy day!  In the afternoon, Amerah and I headed over to a bouncy place (yes that is it's official name until I can remember what the owners named it) for Lexi's birthday.  Alexis turned 10 on October 11, 2011.  In the evening we went to a joint family party to celebrate both Alexis' birthday and Jimmy's birthday (Jimmy turned 12 on Sept. 30th), but after uploading all of Alexis' pictures I decided to give the second party its' own blog!  All in all a fun, tiring day!  I thought I'd post some pics for the family to enjoy and also for those of my friends who haven't seen the kids in a long time, my how they have grown!

Bouncy place fun...

Alexis Schultz, the birthday princess...

 

 

 

Alexis and her friends had a lot of fun...

 

 

 

 

Even the boys who thought they were too cool for a little girls party (cough cough Jimmy...) had fun!

 

The following photo is included because it was just too cute... a little girl who's daddy was tickling her and she was laughing like crazy!

These are included just because this kid was so stinkin' cute!

 

And this is Amerah pretending to frown because I was taking a picture...

Then it was on to cake and ice cream...
