Mother's Day

I can't believe this was my 2nd Mother's Day. That means my baby is growing up way to fast! It was perfect! I feel like the luckiest mom in the world. I love this girl with all my heart!

Bringing me my present.

She did the coloring all by herself!
My card!

1st attempt at a picture... right before leaving church.

At home.

Being a ham!

Totally over the picture thing.

Swimming & Dancing

Here are a couple video clips of Lexi. The 1st is of her swimming when we were in Chattanooga. The 2nd is of her showing off some of her moves. :)

Mike's week off cont.

I heard on the news, due to the flooding, Cheekwood was offering free admission Wed.-Fri. We decided anything free is worth checking out! Wednesday we packed up our lunch and headed out.

This is the best out of 4 attempts. They need to make cameras faster, to catch her looking. ha!

Love, love, love this girl!

Not a fan of sitting still.

Getting a lift!

Could have been such a good picture. There was just way too much going on for her to care.

Getting another lift.

Checking out the pretty flowers.

This is a girl on a mission!

We wore her out again. :)

Chattanooga

This past week Mike took some much needed time off. We decided to take an over-night trip to Chattanooga. This was Lexi's 1st night sleeping in a hotel. Yeah, that didn't go so well. Mike fell asleep before she did. ha! She also got to eat her 1st meal out at a restaurant. In the past we have always taken food for her when we go out. Why in the world should we pay $5 for Kraft mac & cheese?? On Monday we went to the zoo (nothing to write home about), went swimming at the hotel, ate at Texas Roadhouse and walked around a mall. Tuesday we went swimming again, went to the aquarium, and then came home! It was so great to get away for a little while and just be a family!

Picnic lunch at the zoo

Very sleepy... possibly because she wouldn't sleep on the way there.

At the hotel, helping dad figure out what we should do next.

So many options!

Excited to try out her new swim-suit!

She LOVED swimming!

She also loves her daddy so much!!

Mommy didn't swim the 1st time. Somebody had to get some cute pictures!

All dry from swimming and ready to go out to eat.

Tuesday morning: reading a book & breakfast in bed.

Swimming time again!

Ready for the aquarium.

Trying to catch a butterfly with daddy. (It was unsuccessful)

Checking out the penguins. She loved them!! Makes mommy so proud!

It was a quiet ride home. Such a cute sleeping baby!

New Pictures

These are just a few pictures of what Lexi has been up to lately.

Helping Daddy get the mail.

Running around the house w/oven mits on.

Playing with her baby doll. She is really starting to enjoy taking care of them.

Helping Dad play guitar.

Check out her stance. She has recently started standing with her left foot popped up.

Daddy & Lexi built a fort durning the crazy storms.
