Alex calls her... "Carly the Cop.. My Boo"



Today I felt like Alex was back to his old self!  Tomorrow that may change lol.  Today he loved me and Randi and it was a fantastic day!  He ate sushi and then steak and shrimp and said he really enjoyed his birthday today!  He is passed out cold and has been since just before 9:00 pm... he had a ball today hanging out with his new friends... Atiyyah Ellison #99, Daryl Smith # 52, Clint Ingram #51, Cecil Newton #64 and Julius Williams #90... Thank you guys so much for coming and surprising him on his birthday and for taking his mind off of his daily grind.  He really really enjoyed just hanging out and he can't wait to come hang out at the stadium!  YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME and I can't thank you enough for just bringing a smile to my handsome boys face!  That is few and far between these days so I welcome the ray of sunshine that you brought into his room today....again... thank you so very much for taking time out of your busy day to see Alex.

Tomorrow is our big dr visit.... please say a quick prayer tomorrow that all goes well and we can schedule the surgery.  Hope you enjoy our pics as much as I enjoy looking at them.... Alex is slowly coming around to being his same old crazy little firecracker self that he always was and today it was awesome to see the light in his eyes.  Lord I pray that tomorrow we find him the same way.... as I never know which Alex I am going to get from one day to the next!

And I must share this because he had us cracking up... spicy little buggar he is... asked Angie the other day if she wanted to share his brownie "Lady and the Tramp style".... hahahahahha.  He always gives Ronnie heck about how he is going to steal her away from him because he is almost legal now and he better watch out... even calls Ronnie, "Rodney" sometimes to get his goat, lol!  There is no filter on my child and the things that come out of his mouth never cease to amaze me!  Angie and Ronnie are the family that Brooks is staying with for those of you who don't know them :0)


Signing off to get some sleep.... 

PEACE ~LOVE~N~THUMBS UP!
