Lexie's Room

Lexie's room is finally done! JD and I built the fence and made all the flowers and bugs. It was a little more work than we thought, but it turned out cute. Thanks to Brandi for doing all the vinyl for me. Now it is time to start working on the new nursery.

2 Going On 21

I know it is usually your 21st birthday that you hit Vegas, but we decided to start Lexie a little early.

Last weekend we went down to St. George and Las Vegas. We went down with Brent and Leslie. It was just a fun relaxing weekend. We didn't have any plans and just did whatever we wanted. Friday we played at Snow Canyon. We went to the sand hills and let Lexie play. She was in heaven. We shopped at the outlets for just a little while. We went to dinner with Katie and Lloyd. Saturday we drove to Vegas. The boys were planning on going to the MWC Championship game, but since BYU decided to suck and lose they decided to hang out with the girls instead. We shopped the outlets in Vegas for most of the day. We went to Bally's, Paris and the Bellagio. We ate the buffet at the Paris Hotel (all you can eat crab)and then went and watched the water show at the Bellagio. We did take Lexie swimming for her birthday. She loves the water. We really didn't make her a cake so she got a chocolate brownie from the buffet. It was just really nice to get away to some warm weather.

Lexie got her birthday present early from Grandpa and Grandma Cox. They gave her this Step 2 real working sink. My mom called me to see if it was okay to get it for her. I didn't really understand what it was. It should have occurred to me that if she has to ask to ask me it is probably something I don't want her to have. My mom said she needed to get it because Lexie would love it. And LOVE IT she does. When she woke up this morning she went running to the sink and wanted it out. I had to bribe her to get in the tub and go to the gym, and then mommy would open it. When we got back from the gym I put it together for her. She played with it for 2 hours straight. It is a mess. Well I guess "a mess" is not the best word, it is really WET. She started out dressed and was soon down to just underwear. She played until she got too cold and then took a break. After her nap and second outfit of the day, she is back playing with it. The one good thing, I actually get some time on the computer (oh, and to maybe clean).

Thanks you mom and dad for the best present for Lexie.

IT'S A . . . .

GIRL! We found out on Thursday that we are having another girl. We are all excited. Lexie now thinks she has a sister in her belly. I guess we will get good use out of all the pink clothes and bows we have.

Parry Bowling

We have started a new tradition in the Parry family. Once a month we get together for a Parry Family Home Evening. JD and I started off in January. We had tacos and a little trivia lesson on temples. I made a temple matching game for the kids. Of course everyone participated because there was candy involved. This month Clay and Monette were in charge. We went bowling at Weber State. We had a ton of fun. Lexie was thrilled to run around and once in a while throw a ball. I think she had her share and more of the rice krispie treats with M&M's. Every time I looked at her she was eating one. I didn't bowl so well, but JD did. He had a strike or a spare every time but two or three. I tried to get a picture of everyone, just cause I think the bowling forms are great! (Sorry the pics are blurry on the post, it was having a hard time downloading)
