About me

I am blessed to be a wife to a wonderful husband that can fix, build or put together anything. Not only is he the handiest of all men but he is the best dad a kid could ask for! Being a mom to such a sweet and silly toddler has been the biggest blessing and challenge. She teaches me patience and shows me the joy and curiosity in the little things of life. And now we have a beautiful new baby in our life, Reina. She is the perfect addition to our little family.

There are 3 themes to Lexi's life right now
1.) Back that booty up...
2.) This, This, This....
3.) Books

For some reason in the past month Lexi has been obsessed with backing up her little booty and sitting down on any surface she can. It is hilarious to watch her scooting backwards slowly until she finds the little chair or ledge to plop that tush down onto. It pretty much occurs on a daily basis in every scenario imaginable.

 At Sea World with Lily



Thanksgiving at Sue's house with Lily


 Front Yard with Frank and I


Sea World, again.

The Zoo


 At home in her favorite new frog chair while drinking water of course (she is totally my daughter with her love of water)

This, This,This...
When Lexi was about 10 months she began pointing at everything, we took that as her asking us what something was. When she turned 1 it was accompanied with a "this?". And within the last week it has now grown to a "this,this,this?' and every time gets louder and more forceful until you answer her. It is hilarious! Here are a few scenarios that she had a lot of "this's" to say.

well, maybe not while in  the tree but so dang cute!

 At Sues's house, lots of new things to learn


While riding Wilder's birthday toy

Another cute trick is asking her to raise the roof, she almost always will throw her hands in the air

Our Christmas tree decorating evening was full of questions!


Raising the roof! (and the sky)



She LOVED Alex's Chuck E Cheese party this past weekend, so much to explore and sit in. Lots of cars for her to ride in and quiz us about....






"Daddy like this?"

And finally to books. The joy of her life, Frank and I are fairly sure she loves books more than either of us. She carries them all around the house (read:they are everywhere!) and if you are sitting on the ground she will back that booty up, sit down, hand you the book and say "this."

She loves her reading chair, especially now that she can climb onto it by herself. 





Oh how we love this little girl at almost 16 months old.
