The MAGIC House

Tim and Alexis spent an awesome (from what I heard) morning at the Magic House today. Tim was great and kept me updated with photos since I had to be at work.. So I thought I'd share them with you as well...

Where have we been?!

Whoops.. I've been soo soo busy at work that I've neglected Lexi's blog. I sincerely apologize for my lack of motivation and time. But, that is not to say that we haven't been busy as a family. Let's see, Lexi turned two and boy is two FUN! (catch the sarcasm). I'm totally understanding the meaning of terrible twos. She is still a sweetheart and hilarious a lot of the time, though. Some of the things she can think of and say are amazing. I wish I had a video camera attached to my hand at all times to catch some of her awesome-ness.

In other news...
We had a St. Louis Man of the Year competition at the end of July and Lexi was the trophy girl.. I've added some photos, with the promise of more to come.. (I just need to get them off our our camera!) Here is Alexis presented the trophy to Uncle Joel.. the STL Man of the Year 2010!

Birthday Girl

Alexis had a fabulous birthday weekend to say the least. Not only did she get to see Mati and Brooke, but nearly ALL of her friends and family spoiled her rotten. We went to Happy Joe's on Friday night to celebrate Lexi's birthday as well as my cousin's 24th birthday. (Lexi missed her birthday by about 1.5 hours). She got to open her first gift from Nini and Papa (the adorable Snow White costume). Saturday, 17th (her actual birthday) we spent the day with Jaimie, Brooke, Amy, Mati and Amy's sis-in-law Lori. Lexi got to do her first Build-a-Bear/Bunny and we went to lunch. Sunday was party-time. We had about 50 of our closest friends and family over for a Disney princess party. Lex LOVED the attention, the cake, the gifts, and most of her her family being around. Thanks to everyone for EVERYTHING this weekend! We love you!

Vacation #2

We spent a week in the beginning of July at our cabin in Ellington, Mo. (really it's my grandma's cabin, but we all get to use to it) Most of the days were spent shuffling our family from boat to boat on Clearwater Lake. We saw almost every member of my extended family at some point during the week, the most being 15 or so people under one roof (a fairly small roof at that). It was an absolute blast, lots of laughing, lots of sleep and tons of water.

Brootie

We had a nice visit from Jaimie and Brootie last week for a few days. Jaimie watched Alexis during the day and we got Brooke for an evening, (let that fabulous baby swapping begin.. love it). It's so so nice when the girls get to spend some time together. I wish with all my heart that we all lived in the same city, but we are doing our best to keep them close. Love you girls!!

New friends

We spent the weekend at the Lake with my grandpa. We got to spend some time with my (are you ready for this..) Grandpa's wife's son's family. Michael and Cassandra have a daughter, Maxine, who is 6 months younger than Alexis. Here is a video that Mike took of the girls dancing to some disco. Love this!
