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.

Happy Birthday

We had a little birthday party for Lexi with Nate's family. His sister and her kids were still in town from Christmas so they were able to come as well. Lexi loves anytime she can spend with her grandparents, aunts, uncles and her cousins.

Lexi was given some adorable clothes, books and toys from her Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Lexi absolutely adores her older cousins and loves it anytime that they give her any attention. It was a lot of fun having Nate's sister Julia and her family in Colorado for a while.

Lexi didn't know what to think about the candle and everyone singing to her...
but really enjoyed the frosting and cup cake.

Christmas

We had a very fun Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning as a family. We went over to Nate's parents house for a delicious Christmas dinner on Christmas night. I made a gingerbread house earlier in the week so we decorated that on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning Lexi had a lot of fun with the toys she was given.

Good Times

Last night was the first Sunday night in a while that we didn't need to go anywhere or do anything and it was so fun! We had a quiet dinner and enjoyed each others company. We turned on the fire place and the Christmas tree lights and then I beat Nate in Disney Scene It.

Nate and my sister Natalie taught Lexi to pretend she finds food from the ground and eat it. She has taken this a step further and loves to pretend to feed the chair, the wall, and as in the picture above her baby.
