Wow! My first blog!

Today is Sunday and Alex is napping. Ahhhh, both Josh and I are on the computers. I think he is working on a game and I am trying this for the first time.

The reason why I chose to start a blog is to have a place to journal and keep a diary of sorts, of what our family is doing.

We decided to take a trip to Chandler Mall. We of course had to get everything packed up for Alex. We're getting pretty quick assembling all of his necessary items now. We couldn't wait to go because we were going to have lunch at P.F. Chang's China Bistro. That is one of our favorite restaurants and we haven't been in such a long time. So, after a 45 minute drive, we get there and the hostess seats us wayyyyy in the back since we had a baby with us. So funny but we didn't mind. Once Alex was settled in his little booster seat we gave him some fruit puffs to munch on while we checked out the menu. Of course we had to order the chicken lettuce wraps to start with. They are so delicious that we are going to try to replicate the recipe at home. We also decided to split the orange peel beef. Yummy! Alex even tried some of the chicken. He made such a funny face when he ate it I think because it had so much flavor. He also tried some rice. Not a huge fan. He must take after his Grandma Kathy for that.
We can't get over how good Alex was while in the restaurant. Such a good baby!

After lunch we made our way over to the mall. We checked out a few stores and Alex ended up getting a t-shirt that says, "Built Tough" with a skull!!!! and two pistons crossing each other. So tough that Josh had to get it for him. Josh bought two shirts for work and I bought two shirts at the gap that were on sale. So we had fun and then headed home. Alex slept on the way home then didn't want anymore sleep once we got home.

Alex went to sleep shortly after 6:30 pm and we ordered pizza from Pizza Hut for dinner. Alex slept all the way through the night until 6:15 am! That was so great! He is so smart and constantly amazes us. I will have to remember to take the camera with us to take pictures to post here.
