Pink Cowgirl

Lexi has certainly embraced the Texas way of life. This time of year is for rodeos and other cowboy activities. The fact that she has a pink hat and boots helped of course. She wore this when we went shopping yesterday. She got lots of attention, which she loves.

Forward Rolls

Yesterday, Lexi worked on her forward rolls.

Easter Egg Hunt

We have been invited to spend Easter with our Texas family (the ones we spent Thanksgiving with). Yesterday, they had an Easter Egg hunt for the grandkids & Lexi. There were over 150 eggs for 5 kids. We gobbled pizza after.

Coloring Easter Eggs

Knowing that Lexi loves doing crafty things, this was sure to be an exciting evening of Easter Egg coloring. She got so involved in the whole process that her colored hands will prove her artistic ways for days as well as her lips. We'll see how much she loves the eggs tomorrow when we serve them for breakfast. I have a feeling she likes coloring them more than eating them, but I could be wrong.

St Pats Day Shout-Out

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!! Ok, so we didn't do much other than walk over to the park & play on the "big toys." We are still celebrating in our own little way though.

Beach Bunny

This morning, we woke up without any plans. We wanted to do something fun this weekend, but didn't know what. As we were looking through the newspaper, we noticed an article with ideas for keeping kids entertained during spring break. One of the suggestions was to take them to the beach. Since we had been longing to go, it didn't take much to motivate us. Within the hour, the truck was packed and we were headed out to Surfside.

As soon as we arrived, we realized that it had been far too long since we had a beach day (not since Miami). It was exactly what we all needed, especially since the temp got up to the mid 80s today. Lexi and Dad played in the sand and water. Jordan and I spent most of our time under the umbrella at least until Jordan fell asleep. Then, I joined in the fun too. We only stayed a few hours, but it was wonderful. We'll be going back.

Haunted House

Our house has a ghost, a silly purlple ghost that likes to giggle. It comes out quite often whether it is day or evening. We rarely see it at night though when a certain little person is sleeping. In fact, I have noticed that a small girl in our house always disappears whenever the ghost is visible. This morning, I decided to capture these super natural occurances on film. I was even lucky enough to solve this little mystery. Can you guess what I discovered?.... (scroll down)





















That is right!... It is really just Lexi playing tricks on us.

Another Cousin Blog

We are excited to announce that my brother's wife has started a blog for their family. Here is the link: Little Law Monkeys Now, we can watch their kids grow up too quickly.

Cabinet Climbing

This morning when I went into Lexi's room to get her up, I found her in her cabinet. It is nothing new, but I decided to grab my camera & make a post of it. As you can see, she is quite a silly girl. She clears out her books & just climbs in.
