Each week at school, Kirby and his friends learn a new letter.

Last week they learned the letter O.

Be Mine

We had an eventful Valentines weekend.

Beginning with a beautiful family wedding. Ted's first cousin, Sarah was married on Saturday afternoon to an awesome guy, John Hewett.

The wedding was beautiful. The ceremony and the reception were at "The Outpost", which is part of the Ponte Vedra Club. We LOVE the outpost! It is an old hunting lodge on the intercostal waterway. I wish I had taken more pictures there is a huge lawn covered with a mixture of palms and old oak trees. The setting is very rustic, and very old florida. This is where Ted and I had our reception 8 years ago.

A family tradition, this is the same cypress stump that we used as a cake stand at our wedding, we have lent it out to friends and family many times in the last 8 years. We loved that Sarah and John wanted to use it!

The Beautiful bride and groom.

Almost there!
I made Anne let me take some preggo pics of her belly yesterday, we can't wait to meet our little cousin!

Kirby wanted to say happy valentines to his cousin.

Feeling for a kick

best brothers

Happy Birthday Amy

Last Sunday we celebrated Amy's 219th birthday..... well those were some of the many candles Kirby put on her home made lemon pound cake.

Kirby the proud baker.

Getting big!

Roe will be 9 months old in just a few days........... hard to believe. He is such a sweetie, and like his brother, into EVERYTHING!

Tennis Lessons

Kirby started tennis lessons a few weeks ago, it is a cute group of kids, ages 3+. These pictures are from Kirby's first day. He did AWESOME! I don't know if he really did as good as i thought he did, i may be a little bias since i am his momma, and biggest fan. Or it could be the fact that i am so -not sporty- that any athletic ability is extremely impressive to me.

I think it may be that he is just a tennis prodigy........... he's actually only been back one more time since this day due to a runny nose and rainy weather, so i will keep you updated on my little superstar.

Happy Anniversary

Ray Ray and Jon

I love you guys!

January

Besides the cold conditions around here, we have managed to have a happy January. Ted and Kirby went Hunting.

We made block castles

We had a birthday Party for Baba and Kirby made the cake.

Oh and this was hysterical, Kirby hung up some of Ted's dirty socks at the fireplace hoping to trick Santa into coming back. he kept saying "this is gonna be great!"

Heat Troubles

January started out with a "BANG" for us, literally. On Jan 1st (the begining of the big freeze) our heat went out. It was hard at first to tell if it was the heat or an electrical problem. We had brakers poping, fuses blowing, JEA came out twice and our buddy Lin the electrition came out too. After something like $700 of electrical who-knows-what we got the happy news that it wasn't an electrical problem it was our heat.

Sooooooooooooooo for the next 7 days this is what our house looked like. It was freezing, and even though Jacksonville didn't get snow this time, the alexanders did.... in the form of that fiberglass insulation. It was EVERYWHERE.

Little Roe taking a nap wearing probably every article of clothing he owns plus kirby's jacket on top of him.

Me and Ted wore our puffy jackets 24/7. Thank you Brandon Hammond for hooking it up. And Thank you Linda for not letting us freeze.

Abigail

We didn't send out Christmas cards this year, in an attempt to save a little money, I like to call it "going Green". So instead we did the Blog Christmas greeting, I don't think anyone cared to much. But I would like to share some pictures that my friend/ past student took of the boys.

Roe seemed like he was in a little of a funk that day since he is usually so smiley for the camera, but i did think this was a cute one.
