we really do have pictures of lexi! shes been much better about leaving the bows in!

random pics from the last month

its been a little crazy lately and i forgot my blogger password so heres a little from our life the last month some random pics and haloween my parents were the flintstones mike and i were barney and betty rubbles and blake and lala (Lexi) were bam bam and pebbles. it was a blast!

family pics

it is dang hard to get a good family picture with 2 grumpy kids!

saving

so we try to save a dollar here and a dollar there but its hard sometimes but blake makes it alot easier he loves to put money in his and lexis piggy banks blakes is for his mission and lexis is for her wedding.

the turtle

mike and I were on our was out, the kids with granny gar and grandpa mike, and not even around the corner of our street and mike slams on the brakes! theres a turtle, lets go catcb it! so mike got out i drove the car home and we now had a pet turtle! only for a few hours though! im not a fan they are germy little critters so i was freaking out ! "dont let blake touch it, wash your hands with hot soapy water,not just hand sanitizer that doesnt get all the germs off!" maybe i over reacted but id rather be safe than sorry! we let the little bugger go at mikes grandmas lake that afternoon, so he could have a buffet of fish! and not just die in our backyard!

dancin!

blake loves to shake his bootie! and we took alex michael D and jeff to the lake with us, and blake was a dancing machine in the car with the encouragement of the boys...until the camera turned on! of course, but it was still cute!

puppy potty

blake took missy for her potty break for the first time was it ever cute! but i think they may have been doing their buisness at the same time by the looks of some of the pictures!

the ball pit

nana thought it would be funny if she bough 400 balls for blake to play in well it wasnt,i cant tell you where i find those dumb little things, they are everywhere! but he sure has fun, so i guess its worth it!

blakes monkey and blankie

blake is not a clingy kid he is very independent and isnt attached to much...except his blankie and my old stuffed monkey, i dont know where he found the monkey but he carries it around all day long its like his best friend. and he will not touch any other blanket or go to sleep with one ,its a pain to try and get it away long enough to wash that thing!

On our trip to North Carolina we stopped for lunch and this mall had a carousel in the food court so grandpa steveo took blake and auntie jenny for a ride!

lexi can crawl! and stand!

lexi started crawling at 6 months and she can stand too! not bad for only 13 pounds eh?

bath time!

these are just too cute ! i couldnt help but share them!

the murder cycle

My little brother always called motor cycles murder cycles because he had a little bit of speech issues, it just stuck, and i dont have very fond memories of them, the last time i was on one i jacked up my knee pretty bad, it was the size of canada and black and purple all over!the bike fell on my knee, not a fun experience, so i was very hesitant when grandpa mike took blake on his first murder cycle ride, so i just went inside so i didnt have to watch. Grandpa mike bought him a helmet so i feel a little better, not much but i dont want to be one of those mean old grumpy moms who never lets their kids do anything because of my fears, so i guess i'll just have to roll with it!

the lake

mikes parent live on a lake. we took blake out there this summer because he was finally big enough to go for a kayak ride with daddy and grandpa mike! he loved i and had a blast! he liked lookin at all the fish swimming around him too! we took Lexi too but she wasn't much of a swimmer!

big boy bed

its the big boy bed! blake did so good transitioning to a toddler bed! we took him out of the crib when he was only 12 months old! and he stayed in bed... probably because he couldnt walk yet but nonetheless he stayed in bed! we had another little one who was going to need to be in the crib and we didnt want blake to feel like he was being replaced so we left the crib in his room for a few days while he slept in his big boy bed, and he never looked back!
