Catching up July 17, 2009

 

In an effort to post more often, I am not writing much but putting up a lot of pictures. These are from 4th of July weekend when Stephanie  and her family came to see us in Arkansas (someone actually came to see me…gasp!). Also, there are some pics from Hot Springs, where Joe’s parents just bought an awesome condo on the lake. The rest are just miscellanious pics of Lexi because she is adorable and everyone should see that!

Brandon likes to help me do laundry now…he is very helpful!

Lexi is getting so big!

Toby likes his new dog bed!

Lexi played with her doll while she watched me make dinner.

Lexi and Nana (sorry Nana got cut out but this was the best pic of Lexi of the bunch)

Brandon and Daddy driving the boat…

…before Brandon tinkled on me and then passed out.

Nana and Papa’s fancy furniture in their new condo (haha)

All of the “D” kids…Lexi refused to turn her head

Sky thought the fireworks were too loud so she wore headphones…Brandon just thought they were cool.

Me and Brandon at the 4th of July parade

Mia and Lexi loved the parade

People in the parade were stopping to look at Lexi b/c she was so cute!

Red, white and blue!

Uncle Gerrit joined in the kids in the pool…it wasn’t white trash at all!

Watching fireworks in the back yard…they were going off all around us.

That’s embarrassing July 6, 2009

Here is a little back story to set this up: When Brandon goes to bed, Joe kisses him goodnight and usually pokes Brandon in the face with his evening stubble, so we talk about how Daddy has a beard but Mommy doesn’t (thank goodness).
Soooo…last night Brandon came up and laid his head one my bare legs (you may see where this is going) and then jumped up and looked at my legs and said “Mommy has a beard?” Of course, he was referring to the stubble on my legs that my wonderful husband had been too nice to point out, but my 3 year old son had no problem with. He asked me how I got my beard off and I told him I shave, sometimes! In my defense, Lexi screams her head off the second I get in the shower so I usually have to rush…at least that’s the excuse I’m using right now.
