A Few Odds and Ends

Last month we got to meet my new great nephew, who Alex calls "Baby Abram". Alex sure thought he was cute and wanted to hold him. He sure is a sweet little guy.

I just had to snap this picture. Often people ask me how in the world I manage working a 12 hour night shift only to come home and take care of a 3 year old, then some days go back to work again all night. Obviously, on some days I don't do it very well. This is Alex after I had been "dozing" off and on throughout the day after a night shift. Tissues shredded on the floor, crazy man hair, no shirt and pants two inches too short. Some days it's all about survival!

Another one of my favorites, Alex often puts his undies on backwards, leaving two cute little cheeks peeking out.

We just signed Alex up for soccer for the first time. At first, he was pretty adamant that he wanted nothing to do with it, but after getting his uniform and meeting the team last night he seems a lot more excited about it now. His uniform drowns him, I'm afraid his shorts may fall down as he's running down the field! His first game was supposed to be tomorrow, but due to this blankety-blankin' Utah weather, it's been snowed out. I'm about to lose my mind if spring doesn't buck up and tell winter to hit the road real quick!
