A week with Cousin Jaycie!!!

This past week my niece Jaycie who is a little less than 7 months older than Lexie came to stay a whole week with us! It was so fun for Lexie to always have a friend to play with and keep her entertained, and out of mommy's hair :). We bought a little blow up pool for the girls although we have a pool, I wanted one for the girls to play and do whatever they wanted with. Everyday, twice a day they would swim! One of the days we went to the local library to play and read books. It was a bit cooler so we went and played on the playground! The last day it was really nice weather so we went and fed the ducks! I felt like a had twins, but it was such a fun week with the girls! Here are some pics of them throughout the week!

This past week my friend Erin who has a year pass to go to the zoo invited Lexie and I to join her and her daughter for a fun day at the zoo! We had a great time with all the other millions of mothers pushing strollers and chasing kids around. This was Lexie's second time going, but first time that I think she somewhat understood about the animals! Her favorite animals were the Goats which she called "Dogs". She loved petting them and tried to give them kisses. By the end of the three hours we were there Lexie had fallen asleep! I think she enjoyed getting out of the house as did I!

Merry Christmas

~Halloween~

This year for Halloween we went to our wards Trunk-or-Treat!Lexie had a blast just walking around and getting candy. She really had no clue as to what was going on but it was fun seeing her reactions to all the different costumes people had on! After the party we went home and passed out candy, and had some friends over. Lexie was the cutest little Minnie Mouse ever!Minnie MouseLexie trying to drive the BuggyMinnie and 50's girl!!!

There is so much more I could say about my little Lexie. I can't imagine my life without her, she is such a ray of sunlight, everybody loves her happy, smiley personality! She brings alot of happiness to my family and we love her very much! We had a little party with our friends and family at our house last Saturday it was so much fun to have a get together, and we had a great turnout! Here are some pics from the party!

Apache Lake

On Labor Day Kelvin and I decided to head up to Canyon Lake to go on a picnic, but decided to go a little further to Apache Lake and somehow ended up renting a boat! It was so fun to have just our little family together! Lexie loved it, she just wanted to jump right in! It was such a nice day to go to the lake, and it wasn't even that busy.Lex loved steering the boat with her daddy, and tried to escape off the boat a few times.hah Near the end of our boat ride someone became very cranky, but i knew she was just tired. Lexie was asleep within two minutes of getting into the car. Overall, we had a great day together, and love spending time with eachother!
