april

i was so excited to see that tradition from last year

continues, a boat ride canget lexi to sleep EVERYTIME!

turned out a little chillier than it was at the time

we began planning our adventure. but it was still fun

lexi loved helping me blow out my candles


what would we do without sister's like nicole to
make fabulous cakes like these! i LOVED it, how creative
is she!? i know, you're all jealous right now. i didn't
even want to cut it up to eat it!


Andy was our photographer for the day down in lehi...
i have a lot of pictures of legs... and backs of heads...enjoy :)

I'm pretty sure that lex and madi are doing the "L" for

loser... they learned early about that :)

grandpa with his girls, they all love him so much!

he got smothered for his birthday (just like every other day they see him!)

And nicole ...being nicole! gotta love her, she keeps

things exciting! Surprise surprise, after swimming

with the dead bodies she got the flu within 48 hours!

Easter

Lexi was at such a fun age for easter this year. She

started to understand the point of picking up eggs, and

even better that when you throw them at the floor they

explode and candy will go everywhere! Best of

all she got to spend lots of time with family, and

nothing makes this little bug happier than her "buddies"

as she likes to call them (who wouldn't wanna be her "buddy"!?)

She loved the barkers little chicks, enough that

she convinced her dad to get her some a couple weeks later!

now we just gotta work on the dog :) we can do it!

(i can do anything, remember i am updating months of pictures)

My little sweetheart can manage to really

tick off andy, even without trying. She found the

"golden egg" within about 30 seconds of looking.

And didn't quite understand what it was

she found or why there wasn't candy in it. however

the older kids definately understood...

And out of her basket stuffed full of fun toys

and treats that i had been gathering for months,

all she wanted were those stinking orange tic-tacs

(a.k.a. bumpa treats! she tries to convince me to

buy her some everytime we are in the store, and

after i convince her she doesn't need them, she very

tactfully reminds me that "bumpa would really need

some for his pockets!" ... always looking out for others, this one!)

catching up

Okay, I have been a slacker!! its been at least a couple months since i've shared the happenings of my bug's life with everyone on here, and the further behind i get, the less i want to do it. Knowing that i have that much more i would have to catch up on. I would much rather spend my time enjoying my moments with her, than trying to type about it & missing them (after all they're coming and going way too fast.. SHE'S ALREADY TWO!!!) blah. here we go, i can do it, i know i can... it just might take a few days.

Buggy loves wearing her daddy's hats now a days.

well any hat will do, but she has a special love for

her dads. And is aspiring to be a truck

driver when she grows up. Hopefully by then she

can get a bigger truck to ride, this one caused

way too much frustration.
