FAMILY PICTURES!!!

Lexi was chasing the ducks



It took a while before Lexi started to like the idea of getting her pictures taken.

We had some family pictures taken and we just got them back. I am so excited and I think they turned out perfect!!! One of my friends from work took them for us and she did a fantastic job. Thank Mallory! I can't wait to get them printed and sent out to everyone.

6 Unspectacular Quirks

I have been tagged to list 6 unspectacular quirks things about myself. This should be a piece of cake.

1. I absolutely hate anything sticky! I hate band aides, tape, stickers, chewed gum, etc. etc. It makes me sick to touch them. Poor Lexi will have to grow up without ever being able to buy band aides and stick them all over her dolls.

2. I am really weird about my eyes. They are very sensitive to light and I cannot even talk about my eyes without them starting to water. They are watering as I write this.

3. I cannot eat the last bite of a meal. I can have a huge plate full of food and I can eat almost the whole thing, then I get to the last bite and something makes me stop.

4. I LOVE to scare people. I have been popping put of closets and jumping around the corner just to scare someone as long as I can remember. I am known for it at work and home. I just love to see the look on every ones face when the get scared. It hilarious!

5. I hate eating warm fruit. When I read Tara's blog I found something else we have in common. We both do not like warm fruit. I think pineapple on a pizza is just wrong!

6. I am a huge reality TV junky. I have the DVR set to record a ton of shows. I record Days of our Lives, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, The Hills, Americas Next Top Model, Tori & Dean Home Sweet Hollywood, Grey Anatomy, How It's Made, So You Think You Can Dance, and American Idol.

The Trip to St. George

The Amazing pool and hot tub!!!

Fiesta Family Fun Center where we played mini golf, bumper boats and go carts.
Can you tell she is not feeling well??? Look at those sad eyes:(

We went down to St. George this weekend for a family vacation and had a lot of fun but poor Lexi ended up getting sick. It started with what we thought was simply heat rash but after her entire body was covered with little red spots were realized it was something more. No worries it is NOT chicken pox just a virus. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

We took the Gold!

The Shed

I am finally starting to see real progress on the shed! Yeah! I took some pictures of Brody and his friend Nate working on the shed. It has been a lot of work (well for Brody, I have not had to do any work on the shed I just make sure they have something to drink if they are thirsty).

Alexa'a 1st black eye

Last Monday Lexi was home with Daddy while Mommy was away at work and whenever Mommy is not around the family room becomes a romper room. While playing with Brody, Lexi darted across the family room and jumped up on the couch but unfortunately her eye hit the hard corner. If you ask Lexi what happened she will just tell you that she fell off the couch. Although I am sure this will not be her last black eye, I still feel really bad.

Playing at the Park

We could only get Ava to look in the right spot!

If you look closely there are large bumps on the middle slide. Ouch!

We met up with Tara, Cory, Jackie, Carter, & Ava at the park on Friday night and of course Lexi and Carter were so excited to play together and they ran from slide to slide. They were playing so cute together and poor Ava wanted nothing more then to be running right next to them. Ava just watched and participated when she was able to. We tried really hard to get a picture with all 3 smiling and looking at the camera but it was just to difficult. Has anybody ever been able to get 3 toddlers to cooperate in a picture? After the park we took the kids to McDonald's for ice-cream which they didn't eat (well except or Ava) because they were to busy running around in the play place. What a fun night!
