Lexi's Cheer Recital

Yesterday Lexi had her first recital for cheer. It was so cute and she had a lot of fun. It was a long day but the end result was worth it. The girls have been working on their routine since February and they did a great job.

This is the team that Lexi will be with for competition this year so it was cute to see how well the girls did together. They had full dress rehersal on Saturday morning. It started at 9:30 and we didnt get out of there until 1:00pm! We then grabbed a quick bite to eat and had a quick nap. Grandma and Mandy arrived around 3:30 and we ate dinner at 4:30 so I could get Lexi ready to leave by 5:15. We had to be there at 5:45 and the recital started at 6:30. Lexi's team was number 19 out of 26 so she sat with us for the first half until intermission then I took her to the dressing room.

She did such a fantastic job and everyone was so proud of her and the other girls.

Erin and Chloe and Amy, Harold, Andrew, and Aubrey came to support Lexi too and Andrew brought Lexi a dozen roses.

It was a great time and now I am so excited for the competitions to start!

And I just had to add this picture of Travis waiting to watch sissy. He face is priceless!

Tired

Travis is normally a very good napper. He falls asleep almost instantly and stays asleep for a long time.
Yesterday he decided to fight me on a nap. I know some people will say that he is 3 and doesnt really need a nap anymore, but this child does. He is super cranky if he misses his nap and especially on days that Lexi has cheer practice.
He went to his room at noon like always and came out 4 times to go to the bathroom. He also came out with any little piece of trash to throw away that he could find. I kept telling him to stay in his room because he needed a nap. He said "I did take a nap" and I said " no you didnt". This went on for four hours! Finally at 4:30 I went to tell him to just come out because we had to take Lexi to cheer and this is what I found:

See I knew he hadnt taken a nap. Poor thing finally just fell asleep in the most uncomfortable position. I dont know how anyone could possibly sleep like that except for a certain 3 year old boy.

Easter 2009

The kids had a fantastic Easter! Lexi and Travis were very excited about the easter bunny coming. I have a feeling Lexi snuck out a little early to see if the Easter bunny had come yet since she described what she got in her basket before she even got out of bed.


They made out like Bandits!






The easter bunny brought them so much stuff! Kaeleb had a blast pulling everything out of his basket and banging it on the table.

After we ate breakfast and got dressed I managed to get one cute picture of all three kids. Then we headed to Austin for dinner at Mandys house where the Easter bunny hid 80 some easter eggs filled with more candy. The weather was fantastic at 85 degrees with perfectly blue skies. I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter!

Kaeleb at 11 months

I have MAJORLY slacked and not posted about Kaeleb's 11 month birthday. So this is a coule weeks late but you understand Im sure!

Kaeleb turned 11 months old on March 30th (I know! I cant believe his 1st birthday is right around the corner!). At 11 months old he weighs a whopping 30 pounds! He wears 18-24 month clothes and is still only crawling. I am okay with his not walking at this point but my patience about that is growing thin. Carrying a 30lb baby is not easy on my back :). This is all new to me since Lexi and Travis were both walking by 10 months old. He has recently started standing without holding onto the table so Im sure walking is not far off. We have been trying to ween him from the bottle but he is definately not going easy. He is a very happy boy but is still very serious. It takes a lot to get him to laugh and smile if he doesnt know you. He says "da-da" all the time and when you aske him to say "ma-ma" he just laughs and says "da-da" again. He loves to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep and loves playing with his sissy and brother. I cant believe hes 11 months already!

Wordless Wednesday

Not Me Mondays

Okay, so if you havent been paying attention (which you definately should be) I have added 2 new blogs to my list of favorite blogs. They both are written by moms and I love to read other moms blogs! They both do this thing called Not Me Mondays where you basically write brutal truths but write Not or Not Me in them so it looks like you didnt do or say those things.
You can check out my 2 new favorite blogs here and here.
So here are my not mes!
I did NOT think it was slightly funny that Lexi gave her brother a black eye. I mean why would a mother think its funny that after days of Travis messing with Lexi, she finally popped him one!
I am NOT excited that my kids are getting better rest in their own rooms. Who needs sleep anyways?
I am NOT in love with my new camara. I also do NOT love the fact that it tells me when someone blinks.
I am NOT looking forward to Amys birthday. I mean good god, shes 28. Whats so special about that?
I am NOT looking forward to trying this recipe for Jello Shot cupcakes.
I am NOT looking forward to giving Amy her birthday gift.
I am NOT procrastonating on cleaning my living room and I am definately NOT on the internet today or reading.
And most importantly I am NOT loving reading my new fave blogs!
Oh and I also do NOT think this is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

Back in the swing of things....

I have been in blogging oblivion for the past few months. We were without internet but9 now Im back!
While we were gone here is what you missed:
Lexi turned 5!


I cant believe she is 5 years old already. We had a Hannah Montana party at Mr Gattis. She had a great time and got all kinds of new gifts!
Heres a picture of her Guitar Cake:

Travis is still same old Travis. He got his first black eye last week, but he was very proud of it!

And Kaeleb is doing so much. He is now cruising around the furniture. He is officially my latest walker since Lexi and Travis were both walking by this age. Im fine with him not walking although he gets pretty heavy to carry around. Hes still around 25lbs. Hes 10 months old now and I cant belive that next month we will be celebrating his 1st birthday!
I know there are lots of pics of Kaeleb but I couldnt choose just one.





And lastly...I turned 27! I cant believe Im 27! 30 is just around the corner but I dont feel that old. Maybe the kids keep me young :). I had a fantastic birthday and got a lot of wonderful things! Bud got me a new camara that I really wanted. Its a Nikon Coolpix S220. Heres a picture of it (yes I took a picture of my new camara with my old camara):


I promise I wont take so long to blog next time!
