Lexies alone time

Yesterday Ellie went and spent the afternoon with Papa and JuJu. Lexie normally really enjoys having some time to herself, but yesterday i think she missed Ellie. She seemed fine until it was bath time. I thoughht since she loves the bath she would really enjoy having it all to herself. At first she just sat and kept turing to look at me and smiling. She never really moved from the spot I set her in and didn't touch a single toy. After a few minutes she melted down and wanted out. I really think it wasn't as fun without Ellie. She didn't seem to enjoy doing anything after her bath, normally she plays and is happy. Not yesterday, she just didn't know wjhat to do. Eventually she went over to the movie cupboard and started pulling movies out. The poor kid was so sad, I didn't say anything to her, I just let her keep pulling moveis out. Apparently Lexie doesn't really enjoy her alone time much. I did however get a couple of cute pictures of her in the few moments she was happy.

Before the meltdown in the tub.


Dressed in some of Ellie's old christmas jammies and her baby's first christmas hat. Suprisingly she left that hat on for almost an hour.

Christmas Tree Farm

About a month ago my parents promised Ellie that she could go to the christmas tree farm. She had no idea what that was, but has been so excited to go ever since. She called it the christmas tree house farm, she also thought there would be animals since it was a farm. The whole family went and we picked out our trees. My Mom of course found a deal and got the biggest tree for the cheapest price. Ellie enjoyed running around with Carson and helped to pick the perfect tree. I thought with three families picking trees it would take a long time. I was wrong we all found trees quickly and the kids liked watching Poppy cut them down, Ellie especially enjoyed yelling timber. Here's a few pictures of our adventure.

The whole family

Nick and Ellie showing off their catch ( I think it's funny that he is holding it like he just hunted it)


The only picture of Lexie we got and it is awful


Lexie wouldn't look at the camera she was to busy looking at Santa

So MAD!

Yesterday I was down at our church for a choir practice and someone backed into my car. They broke out the passengers side tail light. The worst part of it was they didn't even leave a note. I am so mad that someone elses actions are now going to cost me money. It's illegal to drive my car since I have no tail light. I can't believe someone would hit another car and then drive away.

You know you're a bad housekeeper when....

Your husband comes home and sees you cleaning and asks you who's coming over. There must be someone coming over because that is the only logical reason you would be cleaning up. So sad, embarrassing and unfortunately partially true.

Cutest Sisters Ever!

My girls have become the sweetest sister. I love to watch them and I beem with pride as they interact so well. They really seem to enjoy playing together. Ellie is a wonderful big sister, she looks for Lexie and will often tell her not to do something because she might get hurt. Lexie wants to do whatever Ellie does and for the most part doesn't want to leave her alone. I just love to watch them hug and kiss each other. I just wanted to share a few new pictures of them.

Christmas Countdown

While I was in Idaho in October I saw a great idea at a little boutique. It was a Christmas countdown made out of a mini muffin tin, they wanted $38 for it. I looked at it and decided I could make it. So I shopped around and found all the things I needed and made three of them. The one I originally saw may have been slightly cuter, but mine was alot less expensive. To give you an idea of how it works you put the numbers over the muffin tin. They stick with magnets on the back and you put the candy inside the tin. I thought it was a great, reusable idea. I stamped the numbers on and then embossed them with a sparkly embossing powder, you can't really see that in the picture. I also made sure that if I used as a stamp it included glitter, it made it look much cuter.

Possibly the cutest pictures ever

I picked up Lexie's 9 month pictures today. I think they might be the cutest pictures I have ever seen. She went in today for her 9 month check-up. She weighs 15lbs even and was only 24in. She is so short. She is right on track with everything and in my eyes is perfect! While we were at the doctors someone drove their car into the building. They didn't go all the way through, but still. How do you drive over the cement bump at the top of the stall, over the side walk through the bushes and into the building. Seriouisly I don't get it!




I have add because I am very proud of it. I got this dress at The Childrens Place for $1.99!
