Easter Bunny infatuation

Lexa and Jace saw the Easter bunny today. Twice. That would be because the first 'run-in' (which occurred at Wal-mart of all places) revealed that little miss has an obsession. Not once in either visit did she look at the camera. She rubbed his belly and his fur. Ran her fingers through his whiskers. You get the idea. She liked him.

In other news....Lexa had her 2-year check up at the Dr. yesterday. She passed. She was even on the charts for her size! She was 26 lbs (36th percentile) and 33 inches tall (26th percentile)! Lets give the girl a hand for staying on those charts! Woo Hoo! Until later......

Random.

Mommy thought she would share a few recent pictures that have NEVER. BEEN. SEEN.

Yep, you are the lucky ones. First, a few pictures from Jace and Lexa's trip to the Children's Museum over spring break. 

Posers. Outside the museum.

Explorer Jace.

And Explorer Lexa. Because if Jace is doing it, you can be 110% sure Lexa is gonna too!

Based on the picture in the background, Mommy would guess this was when Jace was visiting Iran. Apparently he found a pretty little lady there to pose with.

The next pictures are just random from the last few days. Random and somewhat strange.

Masks and capes brought all the way from Mexico by Fabulous Aunt Kay! But....something is wrong with this picture......

This picture was taken about 10 seconds after Lexa somehow talked Mommy (and by talking her into, Mommy means there were tears, screams, and pounding of the ground involved) into wearing blue socks...for the second day in a row. They may not match. And they may be dirty and smelly but Lexa is happy. When Lexa is  happy, everyone is happy. Trust Mommy on that one.

And last but not least, Jacer showing off his new do. The kid requires a haircut about every month. This one was done particularly well (it takes skill to blend that cowlick!) and Jace HAD to show it off!

Keegan's 1st birthday!

The past week was spring break for the troops. The week was spent doing fun things such as visiting the children's museum and playing outside. The week ended at Grandma and Grandpa's house with a party for Keegan's 1st birthday. Check out the fun had by all!

Lexa had her 2 year pictures taken. She sported an adorable outfit she received from Davon, Haley, and Amiya for her birthday. Mommy will post the link for her pictures soon!

Jacer enjoying the weather on his big wheel at Grandma and Grandpa's.

She's a daredevil. Poppin' a wheelie!

Smooth operators. Waiting on coffee with Mommy.

Grandma and 2 of her little ones. The other one is most likely in mid-Spidey move in the background.

Grandpa and Jace playing.

Aren't they sweet?

Bean!

Ready to dig in!

What a handsome young man.

He looks just like his Mommy......

And finally, Lexa and Ashlan cheesing.

Mommy will try and post a link to Lexa's pictures soon! Stay tuned!

She's on a roll!!

It's true! ANOTHER blog!! Mommy is on some kind of roll!! Pictures have been plentiful lately with the nice weather and Lexa's birthday. Here you go!!

Love that girl!

Jacer enjoying the weather.

Trying to find trouble in the garage. No worries. She found it.

Ok, Mommy totally made him pose like this. Awww, so cute though!

Working on his skilzzzzz!

Her 'tattoos'. That was her response when asked what in the world she did while being left alone for 10 seconds (literally). She said 'my tattoos'. Ok then.

Bean getting ready for her ladybug party.

Her awesome cake. Courtesy of Daddy.

She looks frightened. Maybe it's because the ladybug has burning candles coming out of it's eyes?

Enjoying her some cake. Yes, she is Mommy's child.

One more time, yes, she is Mommy's child.

Digging in to her gifts.

Lexa and Amiya playing in the tent.

Lexa and Haley sporting some beauuuutiful head accessories.

Lexa and Grandma Rosie hanging out.


So that's all for now!! Cross your fingers Mommy remains 'camera happy'!!

Spring has sprung!

The weather has been beautiful for Lexa's first couple days of being 2! She and her brother have gotten out to enjoy the nice days and the beginning of spring break! Check it out!

She chose the hat and shoes. And there is no arguing with her wardrobe choices. No matter how much Mommy cringes.

2 years old and still fits in her mini-me stroller.

Jacer got new flip flops for summer. He just couldn't help himself and broke them out when the temperature neared 70!

Lexa opening her presents on her birthday night. With quite a bit of help from Jace because he JUST COULD'T HELP IT!

Sporting her new b-day shades. And wearing them very well.

The coolest kid EVER!

That's all for now! Lexa's ladybug birthday party is tomorrow so Mommy will try and add some pictures. Any guesses as to the percent chance that Lexa will actually agree to wear her tutu? Mommy is going with somewhere around 10-12%. That may be a little high as Lexa has actually already stated (quite adamantly) that she is in fact, NOT wearing it.

Happy Birthday Lexa!

Lexa Bean is 2 today! She has had a great day so far and Mommy is on the ball and sharing some birthday morning pictures. ALREADY. Your welcome.

Jace just couldn't wait to give her his present so he gave it to her right away. The suspense was  minimal as he had already told her about 5 times that he got her pink legos.

The best way to start your birthday is with a cinnamon roll.

At 2 you haven't had much experience with birthday candles yet. It's only natural that you would try and bite them first. 

Happy Birthday!

Lexa, at 2 years old you:

*weight approximately 24-25 lbs and are 32-33 inches tall? Dr. appointment coming soon.....

*wear a size 18 or 24 month clothes, size 6 shoes, and a size 4 diaper. Still petite, but growing.

*are a girly girl through and through. You love babies, clothes, and having your nails painted.

*are a talker. You actually never stop. Ever. Some of your latest and greatest are 'only boys have weiners' and 'I have power' (that would be from He-Man).

*can count to 13 and can spell your name. You have a jumbled version of the ABC's but most of the letters are in there somewhere.

*love to color! This is probably your favorite thing to do. You also love to do play-doh, read books, and play with your babies.

*love milk! You would drink milk and eat or drink nothing else all day if you were allowed. Other favorites are chicken nuggets, fruit, and meat (technically chicken nuggets are meat but you like yours from McDonalds so they may or may not fall into the meat category).

*love to snuggle. Although you are very independent and active, you love to sit and cuddle and play with Mommy or Daddy's collar. Strange but comforting to you apparently.

*think Jace is the coolest thing ever. Which actually he is. You imitate him constantly and look up to him so much!

*are such a funny, sweet, amazing girl. You have a way of getting attention and are going to be something very big some day!

Love you Bean!

We are alive!!

Mommy is aware that she has been failing miserably at keeping this blog updated. She is here to redeem herself today with a few pictures from recent days.

Jace has a new obsession. He-Man. This is his portrait of He-Man. The kid's got talent.

Jace's school had a Chuck E. Cheese fundraiser the other night. Jace rocked the basketball game. His Mama taught him everything he knows.

Lexa was thrilled to ride next to Chuck E.

Potty training has been unsuccessful thus far. She does however, enjoy wearing her Dora undies. Over her clothes. See why there has been no progress.

And finally, one of Bean enjoying her favorite. Strawberries. Check back soon because little miss turns 2 very soon!
