Happy 4th Alex and Happy 2nd Leo!

As predicted the boys are vocalizing their own preferences in birthday's. So Alex wanted Toy Story and Leo wanted Cars, which works well together I think! It was a hit and fun was had by All!!!

There was no way we could miss the opening of our favorite movie, Cars 2! This was Leo's first trip to the movies and lets just say he left being able to say "I am a Holy Terror!" On the up side, it was a GREAT movie and we can't wait for it to come out on DVD!

Butterflies

So I realized I never posted the results of our Butterfly project! Yes they grew and were beautiful. We set them free and now every time Alex sees a butterfly he says "look he came back to visit me".

Another great project!

Gator 911

Big Al

You should see the size of this snake!

Swimming with the gators! They had so much fun and weren't even a little scared. They wanted to take them home!

Then they asked Glen to help wrestle and move one of the Gators. My big strong hubby still has it!

They let us sign their walk way, so if you are ever there look for our name!

Our trip to Gator Country started with meeting the star of CMT's Gator 911. He was very sweet and taught Alex how to hold a baby aligator.

Move over American Idol!

After weeks of practicing, Alex belted out the most beautiful version of The B-I-B-L-E that I have ever heard, of course I am partial!

How sweet is this?!

So we spend the weekend with our dear friends Willie and Barbara in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl Weekend. Alex and Leo shared a palet and this is what we found one night...

Track our Butteryfly Project!

Step 1 - We got the catipillars!

Christina the artist (or atleast playing one on TV!)

Mom, Judy and I had a blast painting Fleur De Lis' and drinking wine!

Christmas at the Leopolds

Once again, Glen has threatened to shoot down Santa for his lavish presents again this year. It was a great Christmas in the Leopold house and so much fun to watch BOTH boys really get into it! They made a cake for Jesus and went to bed to await Santa's arrival. Alex was so disappointed that he couldn't hug him and tell him thank you for his presents.

"Momma, I am not doing Santa this year"

As we walked through Walmart, Alex proclaimed his desires to purchase every thing in sight. I explained to him that Santa was coming soon and if I purchased this items now, there would be no need for him to come bring presents Christmas morning. To which Alex exclaimed "Momma, I am just not going to do Santa this year". 3 years old and already quite the negotiator and problem solver, Lord help me in 13 years!

Leo, well, he would just prefer Santa not come. Even the meer mention of Santa's name now evokes the above displayed reaction!

Happy Halloween from the Leopolds!

It's that time of year for pumpkin patches, cool breezes and ...farm animals? We had so much fun at the Old McDonald Farm feeding the sheep and picking out pumpkins!
