2nd and 3rd Christmas'

This year Devin came down after everyone had left but we had an awesome time with him too! His buddies from the court hung out with us the whole time he was here and it was a lot of fun! Then that weekend, after New Year's, my parents came down for our 3rd Christmas!!!! Mind you we celebrated our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN THERE TOO!!! Without getting too sentimental I can't believe how fast the time has flown and what a lucky person I am to be married to my husband. We celebrated a little early and went out to dinner which was a lot of fun and something we don't get to do very often by ourselves! I love you Tommy and can't wait for the many years to come!!! Here are some of my favorites from that week:)

Here is Lexi playing with Devin (Bubba).

Here she is going down the slide again, she LOVES it:)

Strike a pose:)

Then Bubba took her down the big slide. This made her very happy:) Later he asked "who wants to slide down with Bubba?" And Lexi replied "Me!!!!" It was the craziest thing, I can't believe how much she talks and seems to comprehend. It was so cute:) That same day though she feel down and had saw dust on her and stood up, wiped her hands off and said, "Ahhh man..." I couldn't help but giggle. She says the funniest things:)
This was her playing with her new toy. The Little People's Noah's Ark. She really likes it.
This is her with my parents. So cuteThen Lexi and I went to visit my good friend Melissa in Red Bluff and this is her with her daughter Grace! They are almost exactly a year apart and will be best friends too:) Too cute!

Christmas

We had an awesome Christmas this year with LOTS of family and friends. We even had the joy of having Tommy's oldest sister, Aliscia, and her family from Idaho come and share the Season with us:) Aliscia youngest is about 3 weeks younger than Lexi so it was awesome to watch them interact and play together:) They hadn't seen each other since they were newborns. We also had Tommy's mom, Donna, and her husband as well as his littest sister Hannah! Here are some of my favorites from the BUSY CRAZY few days!

Here are the girls, Paxton and Lexi, cooking and cleaning on Christmas in Lexi's new house:)
Here they are going down the slide! Lexi just walked up there by herself and slid down by herself! That was her first time ever doing that! I'm amazed at how big she's getting!!!

It's about time (Part 3)

Here are some December pictures of things we did before Christmas:)
On the first weekend I went to my friend Luke's 2nd birthday party. I had so much fun with all of the kids, and mommy even found me checking out his awesome big boy bed!

Here is me playing with one of his cool toys!

And here is me with Luke and his mommy Kristina.

That same week I had a my 18 month doctors appt (WOW!!!! Where has the time flown????) I was 31.5 inches (40%) and 23 lbs 1 oz (30%). The doctor says I'm doing great:) After my appointment my daddy met us and we went and got my first haircut! Here was a before picture...

Here is a "almost done" picture....

And here was an after picture:) Flower and everything:) Did I mention how COOL this place was!!!! I got to pick out a movie, sit in a car, dance and play... not sure how they cut my hair!!!! But mommy says they did a great job! I'm just glad it's not in my eyes anymore!

And after a long day... this is me giving my daddy some love:)

Now you are caught up until Christmas:) Since mommy has a few more days off from work, I'm hoping she'll help me finish by this weekend! Miss you all... hope you haven't forgotten that I really do have a blog! :) Oh and potty training is going pretty good! I tell mommy and daddy most of the time when I have to go, and especially when I want to get out of doing something... like going to bed:):) We're still working on it though...

It's about time (Part 2)

I can't even remember everything we did in November but I know it was A LOT! Here are a few pictures of the highlights!!!

I got to go to my first cheerleading competition which I was THRILLED about! Well for a little while anyways, nothing keeps my attention these days for too long! But here I am telling my mommy that I'm going to hang out iwth the "leaders." For those of you that don't know, this is my mommy's old All-Star team from Redding, Cheer Zone. Pretty cool huh!?!?

And this is them in action:)

One of the traditions that mommy started a couple of years ago was helping her friend Rose decorate her Christmas tree. So we decided to get the two families together and make an evening of it! I LOVED Abby (She's about 1 year older than me) and all of her toys! I instantly knew and told mommy and daddy what I wanted for Christmas:) This is us playing dolls in her house:) Too cute....

This is us having some dinner together:) I was so excited to sit in a "big girl" chair and table!

And this is us with the finished product and Jack, Abby's brother. The daddys did not participate in the pictures:)

Then for Thanksgiving Auntie Hannah and Grandma Donna came down to visit me! We had a WONDERFUL dinner and a great time! It was so nice to relax and have a few days off!!!! But on "Black" Friday the relaxing was over and we started paint THREE, yes 3, of our rooms in the house. Mommy and Daddy said picking the paint out was hard...but I think staying out of the rooms while they painted was:) I still don't have any pictures, but will get some hopefully soon!!!! Thank you to Grandma, Chuck and Hannah for helping to make that accomplishment happen! We have so much to be thankful for!

Here is me and my Auntie...Cheese:) That was all of the pictures for November, but more to come for the beginning of December and Christmas:)

It's about time (Part 1)

Since mommy is over tired lately she has not let me post anything...but let me tell you that hasn't meant that we haven't been busy! So now I will be busy telling you all about it:)Mommy @ 22 wks (she's now 30, so this is LONG overdue! and will get updated in order)
Mommy and her AWESOME friend Rebekah, both about 22 wks prego. And both having girls:) So exciting!!!!
This is how mommy found me on Halloween... eating candy... GREAT Mommy thought, she's never had anything like that before...Mommy tried to get pictures of my all night and I didn't want to cooporate! Go figure:) I wanted more candy!!!!
And this is how the night ended... "I want more candy!" At least that was the look on her face and how I acted. No more dum dums for me said mommy! We did have a good night for the most part though. I went out with my daycare friends to the neighborhood around there and then went home to a block party that daddy decided to throw at the last minute:) I ditched out to go to our churches Trunk or Treat for a little while which I enjoyed but when it started to rain I came back home and returned to the party. Then I crashed after my sugar high went away! Can't wait until next year:) I told you I would FINALLY get to my Halloween pictures:)
