Halloween

**Pre-warning: This is the last of 6 CURRENT POSTS. So, if you haven’t been on for a few days, make sure and scroll down so you can see all the current pictures we have posted!!!**

For Halloween this year, we decided to do the Wizard of Oz. We wanted to find something that we could do all in the same theme. I had NO IDEA how common of a theme this is!!! (I swear!!!)

We dressed up for Jacob’s work party at Squire, and actually won the grand prize for the contest! We got a $50 gift card for it! That made it worth all the headache of making the costumes and wearing them that day.

Poor Jacob couldn’t even sit down anywhere. Couldn’t really help with a screaming baby, or a tantrum-throwing Lexi. And, his back was killing him that evening from having to be so stiff. But, it sure looked awesome!!!

And I wish Lexi would have co-operated with the photo-taking. She was supposed to be holding her basket with her little dog in it, but I ended up holding it while she scowled at the camera. Never underestimate the power of a good nap (which she missed that day!)

I love this shot of Tin Man and Dorothy in the dark. So cute!

Cameron's Blessing

We blessed Cameron on September 5th. Both of our families came, and it was wonderful to have them all here!


My friend/neighbor Melanie made Cameron’s blessing outfit. She’s such an amazing seamstress! She made the button down shirt, and the cute vest, bowtie, and pleated pants. Amazing! He looked so great that day!



We got a half-smile out of him, at least!



After the blessing, our families came over for a luncheon. It was wonderful to have everyone here! Thank you family for coming!!!

Other Photos

I realize that between last year’s Halloween post and now, Alexia has grown quite a bit. From one year old to two years old! So, before I post pictures about her birthday party, I thought I’d post a few extra pictures, just so you can see her growing up!



Lexi loves her bath time. She’d play in there for hours if I’d let her!



Lexi LOVES eating popcorn, especially on her daddy’s lap!













Lexi decided to color black permanent marker on her cheeks the night before Cameron’s blessing. Thank goodness it came off!



Any time Lexi wants to pose for a picture now, she squints her eyes. That’s common, right?

Gotta love that smile!

I sure do love my two little ones!

Lexi is 2!

Right after Cameron was born, I had to figure out how to plan a birthday party for Lexi! She turned two at the beginning of August!

We had a water party with my family. It was a joint birthday party with her cousin, Ariana, and Lexi LOVED it! She’s such a water girl! Then, on her actual birthday, we had Jacob’s family over for a small party and cake. Pictures follow:
.

Lexi played in the pool for such a long time – just kept going down the slide over and over and over.
.
.

The real hit of the day was the water slides. Jacob slid Lexi down the water slide over and over, and she just giggled and giggled. It was adorable! Her diaper was sagging down to her knees afterwards (we forgot to bring a swim diaper…oops!)
.
.

Present time! These were her favorites – books with colors, opposites, numbers, etc. She LOVES them! (Thanks, Joe and Shauntell!!!)
.

My mom gave Lexi this cute pink shirt for her birthday. Isn’t my two-year-old cute?
.
.

Jacob’s mom made this awesome Elmo cake for Lexi. She was so excited!
.
.

Jacob and I splurged and gave Lexi this Jump-o-lene for her birthday. We blew it up for her (took a lot of hot air!) and she played in it, laughing for a long time! Great idea for a present!

Now that Lexi is two, we just have to figure out how to deal with her tantrums, and typical two-year-old behavior. Gotta love it!

Cameron Album

It’s been a while since I updated, and I know many of you have been asking me to post pictures of Cameron on here. I’m way behind on Lexi pictures too, so in the next few days, we’ll try to get some updates on here, and best of all – PICTURES!!!

Cameron is now 3 ½ months old, and doing great! He’s a great eater, and sleeps okay. Still wakes up twice a night, but for the most part, he’s a good baby. We’re so enjoying having him around. Lexi is a great big sister (most of the time!)

Here we are at the hospital – now a family of four!!!

3 months old – wasn’t in the mood to smile that day.

Isn’t he such a cutie, though? One of my friends told me yesterday that I make cute babies, and I just have to agree with her. What a handsome kid!
