Look What Came in the Mail Today!!!

Alea got a birthday present from her birthmother in Taiwan! Alea's birthmother is awesome! She always sends gifts at birthday and Christmas time and she always includes Braylen too!! Thank you so much! We love you and are so thankful that you have given us the greatest gift of all, a precious daughter to love and to cherish!!!!

Alea Loves to Play

This morning I captured Alea playing with her bear. She was giving him horsey back rides, putting him in the air on her feet and trying to get him to build with blocks. It was so cute! I captured as much as I could before she saw me and quit!! Lately if she sees us with the camera she cheeses really big and closes her eyes!

A Mexican Celebration

We took Alea to her favorite restaurant tonight for her birthday meal: Mi Pueblo! She LOVES their rice. They sing to people on birthdays and give fried ice-cream. She wanted to wear the hat (despite big sis trying to talk her out of is) and she LOVED it! She just kept staring at the men singing at her and when they were done, she clapped and very much enjoyed her fried ice-cream!!!

Alea's Kitties

Alea has discovered a new snack she quite enjoys!! CAT FOOD!!! Brad found her in the cat food bowl last night eating away. We had to capture some snapshots of her with her kitties. We have tried telling her it is their yummy, not hers, but I'm not sure we have succeeded!!

Visitor on the Deck

The girls found this visitor on our deck last night. Isn't he pretty?

Happy Birthday Sweet Alea

Today is Alea's 2nd Birthday! Wouldn't it be nice if everyone who views this blog left her a birthday message???? Let's all wish Alea HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Fun at Sea World

Magic Kingdom

All Mickey'ed Out!!!



Braylen and Brad rode Splash Mountain. Braylen said it was fun, but wouldn't go on anymore water rides while we were there! I think it may have been a bit "big" for her!!
