Sweet Mischa

My niece Mischa is too cute with Lexi. We were able to get together with the family for Mothers Day and this is what I found in my mother in laws living room! She is so sweet with Lexi and always makes a special effort with all of her cousins to make sure they know she loves them.

Disney Land Trip

Nate and I took a trip for two to California and spent the time at Disney Land. My sister was so sweet to come and stay with Lexi while we went on our trip. We saw some famous people...

My brother in law hooked us up with an exclusive Club 33 lunch reservations. It was a fun experience to eat there. Now we are back and facing reality. We are very thankful to be able to spend time with each other.

Just an Ordinary Day

Nothing too exciting has happened recently.
Lexi's personality of silliness and independence is
becoming more and more prevalent each day.
After we came home from church we changed her diaper and left her tights off. She decided to use them as a scarf. If they fell off from around her neck she would pick them up and put them back on.










She loves ravioli! And made a big mess, but it was pretty funny. She has graduated from high chair to booster seat. She loves being able to sit at the table with us. It is so nice that she can eat
anything that we are eating. She eats most of it, the only things she won't eat are chicken, beef and fish.

Like any child she loves doing what ever I am doing. One day after dusting I realized I left the swiffer out. Lexi decided to use it to dust! Teach when they're young right?!?

We are thankful to have so many wonderful friends and a great family!

Visit with Grandma Downs and Company

Lexi and I drove out to Utah to visit our family out here and had a blast!!! The drive out was surprsingly quiet. I didn't know what to expect from Lexi considering she was diagoned with the flu and croup two days before our trip. She slept most of the way and was very happy to arrive at Grandma's. This is a four generation photo. My dad, me, Lexi and Lexi's great grandma, my dad's mother.

During the trip we were able to relax and have a few surprises. My mom and I wanted to go shopping so we went to Kohl's. They had the Easter ducks and my mom was showing them to Lexi. She kept repeating the word duck the rest of the day. Before we left for Utah we took a drive down to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs with Nate. At this time Lexi was taking a few steps by herself, but always wanted assistance walking. Today we went to the park and she didn't want any help and walked around the entire park all by herself. She did face plant in the molch, but dusted herself off and kept going.

My older brother Trent and his family live a ways out from my mom, so we took a drive to have dinner with them. Lexi was ready with sunglasses and all! Trent made delicious hamburgers and potatoe salad. Talon and Lexi enjoyed their milk. After the gathering we dropped off my little brother Jake and Lexi waved bye bye and said , "Bye Jake." She kept waving her hand until we reached the freeway.

My mom and I took Lexi to dinosaur park and we all had a great time. The weather was beautiful and Lexi loved the dinosaurs and sitting on the rocks. We have one very exciting visit left to make and then we are headed back home. We are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
