Last pictures.

These are the last pictures from Mommy's old camera. Grandma and Grandpa gave her a brand spanking new one last weekend so you will soon be enjoying new lovelier pictures. Enjoy!

Ok. This was completely his decision. One he will likely regret in 13-15 years.



Silly girl.



Jace received a letter from Santa....he was mildly excited. (insert sarcasm)



Candy Canes!



And the aftermath...........



The first thing Lexa does every morning is check her advent calendar. She says, 'blue calendar' about 95 times until Mommy gets it down and gives her the chocolate. Mommy has no clue where this child came from......



That's it! Check back for new, fun pictures soon!!

Christmas Fun...Picture Overload.

This is probably going to end up being a picture overload but Jace and Lexa have been having so much fun preparing for Christmas that Mommy can't leave anything out!

Uncle Chuck was in town all the way from Florida. He won Lexa over within about a half hour.

Mommy and Jace had a mommy/son weekend which included going to Build a Bear.

It was fun....until Jace spotted the Spiderman outfit for his monkey. Then it was better than winning the lottery!!

Jace, Mommy, Grandma, Fabulous Aunt Kay, and Tate rode on the Polar Express Train to the North Pole. Jace and Tate had bunches of fun and were able to talk with Santa!

On the train.

Smooches for his Mommy.

Heading back to the real world.

Jace was tired from walking around the North Pole.

Silly kids!!

And finally, Miss Bean showing off her pink santa hat clip.

The End.

Lexa....21 months.

Mommy is a few days late (Lexa turned 21 months 3 days ago) but seeing as Miss Lexa is 3/4 of the way to age 2, an update was due.

Lexa, at 21 months:

*you are a handful. You are in to everything. You love hearing 'no'. You love getting in trouble. Mommy will even go as far as to say you love time out. Mommy must also add that she loves your personality and strong will.

*you are still a tiny little thing. Mommy estimates 23 lbs. and 32 inches. You wear a size 4 diaper, size 5 shoe and size 18 month clothes.

*your favorite thing is to play with your babies. You feed them, rock them, put them in their stroller. You even change their diapers...compete with Butt Paste!

*you talk a lot. You are putting 3 words together on a regular basis. Your favorite phrases lately are 'watch this' and 'had it first'.

*you still love your brother but your strong will is beginning to cause problems. You love to annoy him and do anything you can to make him scream. At the same time you can't wait to pick him up from school and you hug him first thing every morning.

*you still sleep in your crib....however you have been known to climb out of a pack and play so this may change soon.

*you are a meat and potatoes girl. You aren't really into chocolate (gasp) or sweets too much. You prefer meat, eggs, cheese, and bananas.

*you have a way of demanding attention. Mommy thinks it's the big personality crammed into that tiny body. Whatever it is, Mommy and Daddy love you so much and are so proud of you Bean!
