Medieval Times!!!

With this being Alexander's 5th birthday, Of course we did all we could to make sure he got everything he wanted. He was dazzled by the outside of the castle and was a touch scared that the sharks in the moat outside would get him, so we had to hurry in. When we got inside I was asked to buy a celebration package or any of the others. We chose the knighting package. We walked in and all got a picture with the Princess (with whom my brother was drooling over). We then proceeded out to the main area where Alexander got his knighting. (Pic Above) He was so committed to it, head bowed, eyes closed. Very sweet. We then had a small amount of time to waste. So what else did we do but spend some money at the store, and have some Margaritas? Yes, mom included (well she had a strawberry Daq, but it was still the real deal!) Anyway, we enjoyed our time before the show and then it was time to head in.

Alex was in aw! He was excited about seeing more knights and all the horses and things of that nature. We were in the blue knight's section and it was all fun! They captured the Prince, the princess was upset, the knights fought to get her back against the bad knight (which was the green one) and finally won her back (the black and white one won). Alex was the best part in it, every time someone got hurt, Alex would worry about them. However, they all came out at the end so he could see everyone was ok! That was really a lot of fun. We will have to go again soon!More pics on Facebook!

My little boy, how you have grown!

Here is a picture of my big boy a few weeks ago. Yesterday was his fifth birthday. Here is the classic saying, I remember the day he was born! Truth is, I do remember the day he was born. I went into labor at the BCT Girls Finals game, but I wouldn't go to the hospital until the game was over... (I know, just a bit on the hard headed side). Isn't it amazing how clear a few years can be.

Below, is a picture of Alex when he was two... He was and still is just adorable.
We are taking him to Medieval Times today. Will Post pics later!
