Dax's 12th Birthday

Dax is 12 and needs a haircut!

Dax turned 12 this year! I can't even believe it! Remember when he was the smiliest, chunkiest baby?

Our pictures of Mark and Seth look alike, but we never confuse Dax!

Now Dax is 12 and is slowly preparing to become a full-fledged teenager. Dax is a fun kid who loves to try new things, except roller coasters. He is so skinny that it's hard for Mom to find pants and shorts that will fit him, but this also means he is speedy. No one can catch him, and he beats out even the weakest of grounders at 1st base very often. Dax is smart and an excellent student. His teachers love him because he is very obedient and works so hard. Dax loves to snuggle, and he also enjoys fishing. We are trying to learn to love fishing, too.

Brittany sent Dax some yummy cookies.

We added some pictures to the wall to remember 12 years of Dax.

Dax's birthday this year fell on a Saturday, and if you know anything about our lives, that meant A LOT of sports games. We had a soccer game and 7 baseball games, and we would have had one more soccer game, but Dax had to miss his soccer game because his was playing in a baseball tournament. Luckily, Dax is easy going and a great support to his brothers, so he didn't mind watching lots of games, and playing in lots of games, too. 

In fact, his team WON their tournament! What a great birthday present. 

So many baseball games!

Just like he won a gold medal!

It was fun to win a championship on his birthday!

Dax's team!

We went to Denny's after all of the games since their food is quick, but a few days later we went to Brick Oven because that is what Dax requested. Dax got an electric bike for his birthday and he has ridden it every day since. It was definitely the right gift for him!

We finally met up for dinner after all of those games!

Dax is such a fun boy!

Dax also got this fun version of ping pong that we love playing.

Electric bike rides every day!

There is nothing better than Brick Oven Root Beer.
