Random Photos

I have all these cute, random photos of Lexi that I thought I would post. Sometimes we catch her doing the craziest things.

I was so sick of Lexi jumping on the beds and couches that I broke down and bought her an exercise trampoline. It has indeed satisfied her need to bounce and is helping to prolong the life of my furniture. She hasn't even broken an arm yet (knock on wood).

We aren't potty training Lexi yet, but she does enjoy a little light reading while on the toilet (just like her daddy).

Lexi fingerpainting, which turned out to be a bigger mess than I anticipated, but atleast she enjoyed it.


Our little cowgirl.

Sometimes you're so tired, you can't even expend the energy to put the book down before falling asleep.

San Antonio

This weekend Jeff, Lexi, and I made the drive to San Antonio to take a break from the stress of school and work. My parents met us there and together we visited Sea World, The Alamo, the Riverwalk, and the San Antonio Temple. We had a great time on our first real family vacation. Enjoy our pictures.

Lexi's 2nd Birthday

So, I'm only a week behind posting pictures from Lexi's 2nd birthday. We wanted to keep things simple and so only had a few people over and just ordered some pizza's and had cupcakes for dessert. The big highlight was giving Lexi her first Radio Flyer tricyle. She was so excited when she saw it. It's great for me because, until she learns to drive it, I can control it with the adult handle. Unfortunately, Lexi has been really sick this week and so we haven't had much time to use it. Hopefully this week we'll get some riding in.










This is a picture of poor sick Lexi this week. Doesn't she look miserable?

Christmas #1

This holiday season Jeff and I spent a lot of time traveling. We had so much family to see that we ended up celebrating 4 separate Christmas's all on different days. We spent the first Christmas at our apartment in Dallas because we didn't want to drag all our Christmas gifts on the plane. Jeff and I set everything up the night before and Lexi was so excited when she came out of her room and saw her presents. My parents bought her a play kitchen and her jaw dropped when she saw it. She has always loved playing with kitchens and we decided that it was time she had one of her own. She also got a children's mp3 player and some accessories for her kitchen. Jeff got me many wonderful surprises including a jewelry box, a running jacket, a watch, and oh a diamond ring (for our anniversary). My gifts for him didn't even compare. What a great guy he is. One Christmas down, only 3 more to go.

Christmas #2

Christmas #2 was celebrated on Jeff's birthday, December 20th in Boise. We flew in on the 19th to celebrate with Jeff's sisters Courtney and Kris because they had to work over the holidays and were unable to leave for Christmas. The trip was lot's of fun, but the funniest part was watching Lexi interact with all the dogs. There were 3 dogs for her to play with and she had so much fun. We are definitly going to have to get our own dog one of these days. I was also very excited because I got to see my friend Amber who moved from Texas about 4 months ago. After her husband graduated from chiropractic school here in Dallas, they moved to Boise to open a practice there. Lucky for us, they were only about a 30 minute drive and so we got to spend an evening with Amber, her husband, and their 2 cute kids. It was such a great trip and although we were sad that Kris and Courtney couldn't make the trip to Utah with us, we felt lucky that we could celebrate a "mock" Christmas with them a few days early. Now, on to Utah for another Christmas celebration.

Christmas #3

Christmas #3 was celebrated on Christmas day at Jeff's sister Joni's house. We spent about 5 very busy days in Roy, Utah with Jeff's family. During those five days we not only celebrated Christmas but we also celebrated Jeff's niece Kaylee's birthday, my birthday, and Kaylee's baptism. It was definitly a very snowy and full five days. Jeff enjoyed watching many movies and playing video games with his brother-in-law Josh, and Lexi had a ball with all of her cousins. Her and Breanna became partners in crime playing on the bunk beds and having tea party's together. Thanks to the Jones family for such a fun Christmas. Only 1 more Christmas celebration to go.
