Princess Shows Her Style

Just a few cute pictures of Lexi from this weekend. We went to a friends house for dinner. My mom called before we left and wanted to pick up one of the kids for dinner so I told her Lexi would probably be the best choice since the kids at the dinner were all going to be Nicolas' age. She was excited to spend time with Lexi for a change.

We went to the party and ... found all the little girl's in dress up clothes, running around in
heels, chasing each other and playing with all the girl toys. When my Grandma Birdie got there a little while later to pick up Lexi, she ran away laughing and Nicolas ran TO his grandma asking to go with her (hee, hee). So he got to escape the girls after all! The father's of all these daughters seemed to understand his situation too.

Next time I need to make sure I remember to bring all his Cars to play with. Anyway, Lexi is not one to play dress up yet. But with the help from a few older "sisters" guiding her, she got into the act.

Totally Tractors!

Now this ROCKED his world! Grandma Birdie had the kids come over and there was a backhoe in front of her house doing some repair work. The guys came back from lunch and started doing some stuff across the street. He saw our little guy in awe over the tractor and he came over, unlocked it and as he walked back to work on his stuff he just said "Now don't drive off with it, kay?" Nicolas was speechless. He got to climb up inside and touch things... carefully. He didn't want to get out. Lexi, on the other hand, was also excited until her big brother got inside of that BIG tractor. That scared her for some reason and she kept saying "out, brother, out please" over and over. What a day! Good call Grandma!

Lexi Laughing... Always!

Lexi wakes up this way every day so I decided to catch a little of her life and laughter on film. Soon enough she will be a teenager girl that I have to beg to get out of the bed and spend some time with me. But right now she is full of silliness and sauce.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was fun and full of giggles. Nicolas was a dinosaur and Lexi a bumblebee. The both seemed to really get a kick out of it ... for the three full days of dressing up.

Nicolas loved being a dinosaur. He went from being a sweet one that refused to growl at people to embracing the chance to growl and show his claws as much as he could. He also loved to pat his big round dinosaur belly. Lexi and I could hardly keep up with him and Shawn as they trick - or -treated. Once he got the hang of the words "trick or treat" and "thank you" he was off and running and so was Shawn.

Lexi also loved being a bumble bee. Actually, as she put it, "bumble bee with wings in back". And she had no problem at all saying her trick or treats and thank you's either. In fact, she was more then eager to point to her "honey pot" and let people know exactly where the candy needed to go. Cute! Cute!

We walked in the Halloween parade with Nancy on Halloween night for Anderson Hospital. Shawn liked it even more then the kids. I think he really got a kick out of running and handing out candy as fast as he could. Lexi waved and blew kisses at everyone like a true future queen ...and without prompting (hee, hee)!!!

Then we were off to Grandpapa and MaeMae's for the last few houses of trick or treating. We met up with Builder Kai. The three cousins love to play together. They had a lot of fun and it was a nice way to finish off the three nights of Halloween fun.
