Easter

Here are the few good pictures of our sweet Lexi Bear on Easter Sunday.

Quick picture w/Grandma & Papa before church

being silly!
This is the best we could get of the 3 of us.

After church, getting ready for lunch!

Sorry!

I'm so sorry there haven't been any updates lately. Our computer is broken (I'm on Mike's work computer now). We aren't sure when our computer will get fixed. As soon as it does though, you'll have a great update! :)

Just so you know... Lexi is walking all over the place!!! She is pretty big stuff. Can't wait to be able to show you pictures of her. She is growing up so quickly. I never knew it would be this much fun. We are daily amazed by the blessing that she is!

Until next time...

Moving!

Sorry there haven't been any new posts lately. We are a little busy getting ready to move!! We will finally have our own house. It's very exciting, but crazy busy around here. To hold you over for a few weeks... here are the most recent pictures of Lexi.

Here is our very 1st house!

LOVE HER!

Mommy's scarf was a little too big.

She loves the dishwasher! If she hears it open, watch out. She is on her way to help.

Daddy was showing her how we load it up.

That is all for now. I don't know when I'll post again... sorry. We will let you know when we are all settled in our new home & how Lexi adjusts to it.

Dancing Queen!

Lexi loves music! Shocking, I know. ha! For a couple weeks anytime she heard music, she had to dance. It's not normal "dancing" though... She isn't standing up. She is actually sitting down. And it might be one of the funnier things we've since her do yet.

Birthday at Home

We decided to spend Lexi's actual birthday (Jan. 19th) at home, just the 3 of us. We already had a big party in Iowa, and she is too young to understand what's going on. Next year we'll do something more special. It was fun to just be home that evening, as a family. It is so hard for me to believe, that my little baby is 1. The past year seriously flew by! We are so thankful to the Lord, that He chose to bless us with this sweet baby girl!

"Oohh... this could be fun!"

Learning to push her new doll stroller.

1st tumble with it.

She learned that it doesn't go over people.

It also doesn't go through the couch.

Didn't take her long to get the hang of it.

Alexia Joy, we love you more than you could possibly know! We are continually praying for your salvation. There would be no greater joy than to see you come to know & love the Lord.

Birthday Party in Iowa

This post is long over-due! We had Lexi's "big" 1st birthday party while we were back in Iowa. It was very important to Mike & I that our families were apart of her big day! I didn't get many pictures on our camera. Hopefully I'll get copies from anyone else who took pictures that day! :)

The pretty flower cake!

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate Lexi's birthday. Even though we live far away, we still want Lexi to know her extended family. Which also means... we think Nashville is a great vacation spot for anyone in our families!! :) And we will soon be in a house, so you are more than welcome to visit any time!

Happy 1st Birthday Lexi!

I cannot believe how fast this past year has flown by. Our baby is 1! Neither of us knew what to expect the 1st year on this amazing journey of parenthood. We are continually blown away by God's goodness to us. Mike & I are so thankful for this life that was given to us. We look forward to watching this beautiful child grow and being able to teach her about our wonderful Savior!
We love you Lexi Bear!
