Family Pics

Hello!! These pics were taken by a friend of ours that has recently added photography to the list of services offered at her shop. Sorry I can't figure out how to turn the first picture and it is late. So I don't have the energy to work on it.

LEXI IS IN SCHOOL NOW!!!!!!!

On March 31, 2008 Lexi started preschool at Child's World in Ashland. Her previous babysitter went back to work so we decided it was time for her to have her own "school" as she calls it. Mom and Lexi both did good on the first day. No tears were shed either. She was shy when we first arrived but after about 10 minutes she began to play with the other kids. Shortly after that she was giving hugs and kisses to me, bubbie, and Nana. Dad is on a mission trip in Kansas so he didn't get to be there. Then when I came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave. Above is a couple of pictures the director took for us to show us that she is doing fine. She loves to do the stamping that is in the first picture. It has been a huge adjustment for everyone. She has been very tired when she gets home and very clingy. Logan also has had to get used to his "sissy" not being around. He frequently asks about her. And if I can't get him to get ready to leave to pick her up, I just have to tell him that we are going to pick up sissy and he beats me out the door. She tells me she likes her new school. And every once and awhile I will get a little story out of her. Here is one she told me the first night of school as we were laying in her bed snuggling. I asked her if she liked her new school and if she was having fun. She perked up and said, "I like to play downstairs. I went up the steps, then slide down, and then fell on my head and it was so funny!" She is talking about a play climber they have downstairs. It was hilarious. She was just so matter of fact. And very expressive when she was talking. It was really hard for me not to bust a gut when she said this. MY BABY IS GROWING UP!!!! boohoohoo

Photographer In Training

Lexi has always loved to have her picture taken and as she got older she likes to take pictures with her pretend camera, my camera on my phone (I frequently find odd pictures on my phone from a suprise photo shot I didn't know about), and recently I let her try taking pictures with our big camera. I didn't really think she would be able to hold it up. But she suprised me and she did and then she took a great picture as well. All of the above are pictures by the budding photogragher with no help from mom or dad.

SNOW

A quick play in the snow with Daddy.
"Snow"


The above 4 pictures were of Lexi and Mommy playing in the snow. And the snowman is the first snowman that Lexi ever made. She had a ball playing outside. This was on a Sunday. When we went to church at 9am, there was lots of snow on the ground. But by the time we did the church thing and got home, much of the snow had melted. We still had a good time. Lexi really got into throwing snowballs at people this year. But many times she would do it when she didn't have gloves on so then we got to hear her cry because her hands were cold. DUH!!!! You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. The saying is also very true for a bullheaded toddler too!!!! She has to get the bullheadness from her father.

2008

Hello everyone! Well 2008 is here and I can't believe it. One of my new year's resolutions is to post things to my blog alot more often. I have a challenge to keep up with LeAnn and Geni. LeAnn posted Christmas pics on Christmas day. INSANE!!! I didn't even know where my computer was at that day because of all the new toys and presents in our living room. Here is just some random pics that I have taken since the last time I posted. Love everyone and hope your new year started out on a good foot.
