Tongues.

Mommy and Lexa decided to use the computer camera to capture some fun pics. Mommy may or may not be slightly bored. There may or may not have been more than 20 pictures taken in different poses. So there you go. An update. With tongues.

So late.

So sorry this post is so late!! Mommy and crew have been busy and not always near the computer. Mommy will fill you in below......
Mommy was noticing that she rarely gets pictures with Ozzy. He has slowed down a little and is not always in the middle of the action like he used to be. Case in point....nearly sleeping while 2 kids pounce on him for a photo op.

Mommy went to Kansas City to run in the Glow Run last weekend. She ran with a blogger/facebook friend Rachel who she had never met in real life! It was a great time and she totally thinks they need to do it again sometime! Seriously, the socks rock right!?

Jacer finished up his t-ball season last week as well. He was kind enough to stop for a picture with his sister. Aren't they sweet?

The final team huddle for the Hawkeye stars. 

A trip to Grandma and Grandpa's was had mid-week for some fishing and swimming in the pond. And of course...Nutella! Who can resist a chocolate mustache?!

Oh bean. Always trying to pull a fast one on somebody. Usually Mommy.


Jace and Mommy participated in a run/walk to support the families of 2 missing girls (Elizabeth and Lyric) from the area who are now thought to have been abducted from one of the bike paths. Mommy evaluated Elizabeth's little sister this year and Mommy's friend works with Elizabeth in speech. Lyric attends the school Mommy used to be assigned to. The run/walk was a lot of fun and even included face painting!

And pink hair!! And of course..double bonus when you run into your best friend from preschool!


That's all for now friends! Check back again for more regular updates....that's the plan anyway.

Happy Birthday Rita!



Love, Jace and Lexa

Sorry about the horrible lighting. Mommy is no hollywood film maker.

Some of the old and some of the new.....

Mommy realized she is slightly behind on posting some recent pictures. So consider this post a catch-up with a little of this and a little of that.

Father's Day at Nana and Papa's. The ice cream man came. SCORE!

Lexa and Braylon checking out the action outside. This was one of the only shots when they weren't shoving eachother off the ottoman. Like Mommy has mentioned before....they are slightly similar.

At Grandpa's farm! Lexa's buddy Cameron was in town and decided to join her  for some fun playing in the sand and pond.

And check out this kid! Wait....who IS this kid?! Swimming in the middle of the pond. Willingly! Let's just say this summer has brought much more confidence in the water. 90% of it due to peer pressure from friends at the pool but Mommy will take it!

Picking blackberries with Grandpa.

Lexa trying to use her charm to talk Cameron into eating a blackberry. It didn't work.

Too much fun in the sun! And they love eachother!

Enjoying the water olympics at the Petersen Plantation. Once again, Jace going outside his comfort zone and experimenting on the slip and slide. He probably would have stayed on it all day. But.......

There was more fun to be had!! Like dunking heads in Chuck's pool.

Playing water volleyball!

Having a kid's relay race.

A water balloon fight!

And of course, a water pinata!

Jace and Lexa had their friends Gaige and Carlie over to hang out last week. This was the one time they were all sitting still in one spot!

Cupcakes!! Hitting their favorite cupcake shop with Haley and Amiya. Davon declined having his photo taken....but was later captured covered in lemon frosting.
The END!!

A couple crazy kids......and a t-ball game.

One of them is good at talking the other into things. Can you guess which one??

Buzz cut with a chocolate mouth. 

Sigh. Lexa's attire for the t-ball game the other day. She insisted on wearing a winter hat......

On deck at his first t-ball game.

And he makes contact!! And proceeds to run after his ball instead of going to 1st!!

Congratulating the opposition.
That's all for now! Not sure who won the t-ball game. There was a lot of chaos and hysteria. As soon as the ball was hit, every kid at every position would chase it down. This also included the batter at times. Definitely an entertaining hour every Tuesday and Thursday!! Stay tuned for more!
