Oh that Mommy.

Well....Mommy is behind again. Where do the days go? She thinks she is on top of things and suddenly another week has gone by sans blog! Oh the humanity!

Let's regroup and check out what's been up in Jace and Lexa Land the last couple of weeks!

Pre Family Snow Tubing! Matching braids with Mommy's best girl!

Jacer was a mad man on the slopes! 

Lexa loved it too....to Mommy's surprise. Or not surprise. One can never be sure with Lexa.

Most of the group! A few of the bigger boys were skiing. This group connected all of their tubes together and went down the hill in one big BOOM!

Aaaand there was this. Just one of the many pieces of evidence that the Auges were rookies. Lexa dropped her glove in the potty...post pee....about 5 minutes after her arrival. The poor girl that had to fish it out with a ski pole was a trooper.

Also last weekend was a visit from Nana and Papa! They were able to watch Jace in his last basketball game and celebrate an early birthday with Lexa. With cupcakes...if you couldn't tell.

Lexa got presents!

Jace and Lexa are still loving swim lessons. And are still wanting their picture taken with T.C. every time they get done. They are creatures of habit. Or something.

There have been several snow days. Several. SEVERAL. Anyway, one day it was a heat wave (think ABOVE 0) so the crew went sledding and made snow ice cream. It was slim pickings to find white snow in the vicinity of the house (Hawkeye) but they did it and it was delish!

Lexa stuck a Reece's Pieces up her nose one Sunday night and had to go to the doctor. Luckily it was no longer in sight and the doctor was fairly certain it either went back down her throat or would just melt. Apparently if you are going to stick something up your nose, chocolate is one of the best things. FYI.

And then there was Valentine's Day. They were showered with chocolate and surprises. Hawkeye only managed to steal some...apparently during the taking of this picture.

That's all for now! Mommy hopes to grace you all with another update in less than 2 weeks!

Mostly Lexa

This post is dedicated to Lexa because...well because she was with Mommy all weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's and was the one at the mercy of Mommy's camera.

Mommy leaves Lexa and Grandma in the store for 5 seconds.....

New pajamas and new slippers. It is safe to say this was a typical girls weekend...filled mostly with shopping and food.

And there was snow shoeing! Fabulous Aunt Kay introduced Mommy to this fun activity on Saturday afternoon!

Beaner in her new hat enjoying lunch at the maidrite.

Trying on Mommy's glasses!

That's all! Jace was with Daddy attending a Luke Bryan concert and a hockey game and had a great time as well!

ANOTHER upadate?!

Mommy seems to be on the ball this week. She has a few more pictures to share so she figured...no time like the present!

Jace and Lexa went to Davon's basketball game Tuesday night. And took some time to pose with Amiya...after a little prompting.

Oh yes. Mommy was there too.

Last night was the beginning of swimming lessons! This year Jace and Lexa each have their own instructor 1:1. They are both UNI students and so far it seems like it will be very beneficial!

And finally, dentist visits were on the agenda this week. This picture tells Mommy a couple things. First, Lexa is an awesome dental patient. And second, she  NEEDS bigger clothes!

Until next time!

Catholic School's Week 2014

Well....it has been an exceptional amount of time between blog postings. Mommy's sincere apologies. Her excuses include (but are not limited to): bad weather creating chaos in schedules and excessive togetherness, Mommy's 21 day sugar detox which resulted in laziness, Mommy's volunteering to be the co-chair of Catholic School's Week creating stress and taking time....etc. BUT, now that all of that has passed, Mommy is ready to come back with a bang! So enjoy these pictures from last week's fun filled Catholic School's Week!

Wacky Tacky Day! They are wacky. And actually pretty tacky. They get it honest.

School Dance Thursday night. Jace was on the dance floor most of the night. Lexa...on and off. Preschool through 8th grade is a pretty big age range...and somewhat intimidating on a dance floor when you weigh 30 lbs.

Helping Mommy get the concession stand ready before the dance.

Group shot! With Lexa the floating head....

School Spirit day! Apparently Lexa didn't have any school spirit as she did not pose. Honestly, there are many mornings she doesn't have any spirit period.

Dress up day! Jace's tie didn't seem right. But he insisted it be worn on the outside of his sweater. And really, who is Mommy to argue with a kid who has TWO girlfriends?

And finally, not a Catholic School's Week activity, but pretty cute nonetheless.

Mommy is highly motivated to once again keep up with this blog. Check back to see how she does!
