BOOZER


Carlos Boozer came to the Walmart by JD's work so we took Lexie to get a picture with him.
GO JAZZ!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

JD and I went to the RSL game Saturday night. The Rio Tinto Stadium is awesome. We got to see 4 goals, 3 were at our end. It was a fun night.

Haunted Dinosaur Park

On Friday we also dressed up the kids and took them to the Dinosaur Park. They were all really excited to finally get to wear their Halloween costumes. Lexie loved her costume and even kept the hat on the whole time.

What a cute little spider
The whole gang
Of course they both couldn't smile that would be to much
Towards the end of the night she got a little tired, but don't worry she never let go of her candy.

Trains and Horses

Brandi and her kids came up on Friday to spend the day with us. We took the kids to Union Station to see the trains and the painted horses. Lexie wasn't to interested in the trains but went crazy when we saw the horses. She had to sit on all three and screamed when I took her off each one.

Duck, Duck, Goose

Last week we went to the little pond by Lee's to feed the ducks. Lexie was in heaven. All the ducks would gather around her, the only problem was she would run straight at them and then throw the bread. This would make them all scatter and then come back to fight over the bread. I can't believe I haven't taken her to do this before, this is something we will definitely do more.
Yes she is trying to pet the BIG white duck

Pumpkin Patch


We went to the pumpkin patch last week with our friends The Scrivner's. Lexie loved it and wanted every pumpkin. She finally decided on one, lucky for me it wasn't a very big one. You see, we walked there and so it had to fit in the bottom of the stroller.

She would walk up to every pumpkin and say "this one"

Oh, how fast they learn!

She is getting so big
A gorgeous view from our backyard.

The pictures have nothing to do with my post I just liked them.
Lexie loves to play with the spray bottle. As long as she doesn't spray me she can play with it. One day I asked if she needed to go potty, she said yes and went to the bathroom. When she was done she went and got the spray bottle and her baby. She took off the babies diaper and sprayed the babies bottom. She put the diaper back on and brought the baby over to me and said "momma baby pee pee". I am still wondering how she comes up with these things. Anyway we went and put a new diaper on the baby. She stayed in her room to play while I went to clean the kitchen. She was being way too quiet after a while so I went to check on her. She had put lotion all over the baby and was now tyring to put her clothes on the baby. When she saw me she said, "momma pants". She was having a hard time get her pants on the baby. I am just amazed at how she picks up on everything. The last couple mornings after I put lotion on her and get her dressed she wants to do the very same thing to her baby. Some day she will make a great big sister.

As many of you know Lexie already has a personality that is way to big for that little body. I have now come to terms with the fact that for the rest of my life JD and Lexie are always going to gang up on me. Whatever JD does to me, whether it be tickle me, touch my feet or nose (anything that will get a reaction). Lexie watches and will do the same things. The funny thing is she doesn't have to do it right after JD does it. She waits hours to days and like a true pro when I am least expecting it she attacks. I hate that she is so cute because I can't get mad at her and she knows it, so it just makes it that much better for her. I hate that my 18 month old daughter knows how to tease me. Not only does she know how to tease me, but she knows that it is funny.
We went bowling last week and she loved it. Her ball took too long to hit the pins, her attention span was not long enough to watch it. She did love to throw the ball.
This is her saying "cheese!"
