Alice Turns 6!


Our sweet Ladybug, Alice, turned 6 on Monday. She had a few days of celebrations~that is how the Wescotts roll. Birthdays tend to stretch out to near a week of fun!


Saturday, while camping, we celebrated with cupcakes. Sunday, she opened presents from Scott and I and her Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Marilyn and had ice-cream. Monday we played outside with chalk and the kids ran in the sprinkler. We celebrated after dinner with cake and ice-cream. She opened the rest of her presents Monday night, presents from Grandma Peggy and Papa Gary and cousins. Tuesday, she received a present from her best friend Abby.


She started tennis lessons this week and has started jumping off the diving board at the pool. She has become very independent. Our shy girl has definitely come out of her shell.

Happy Birthday Alice! We love you!


Love, Daddy, Mommy, Samuel, Paige and Mason

It has been a busy week for us. Monday, Scott left for Roswell, NM for 3 days so I was on full time kid duty. Mason went to Greeley on Tuesday for a check up on his shoes and brace. Wednesday, Sam had a swim meet and then he and Alice had their annual well-check. Sam did really well at his meet. He swam the 25 freestyle, 25 breaststroke and relayed a 200 medley. I was so proud of his relay because he swam with 9-10 year olds and had to swim a 50 free. He had never swam that far without stopping and he did awesome. Tears were streaming down my face, so proud. His next meet will be next Wednesday.

Sam and two of his team mates (and class mates).

Love to all,

Jennifer
