Mischievous

I have to say Alexis is quite the wild child and love to get into things she knows she should not get into. And at this time in her life she loves lotion. So she is very excited anychance she get to put lotion on.

Well Sunday afternoon the girls were sleeping and Rusty and I went down to play Xbox with Carter and when we came upstairs this is what we found.

Doesn't she look lovely? One of her favorite spots to put lotion on is her neck for some reason and aparently her feet now too. Unfortunely this wasn't regular lotion. It was Desitin. Have you ever smelled that it does not smell good, it is diaper cream for heaven sakes. She didn't only put the lotion on herself. She also put it on the wall, window, the stairs and on out brand new couches. And my entire house smelled like diaper creme, yummy. It was pretty funny and it cleaned up pretty good, so I couldn't really get mad at her. Seriously, who could get mad at that sweet face?

The Dentist

Alexis got to go to the dentist for the first time on Thursday, last week. She was pretty excited to go and had a good time playing in the waiting room. I was a little worried how she would do when they were going to do her x-rays. But I had nothing to worry about. She did great! She was such a big girl sitting there with that heavy vest on and holding that thing in her mouth.

What she didn't like that got her kind of nervous was the chair as it reclined. And then the dentist tooth brush. She was not a fan of that at all. They were only able to clean her four bottom front teeth. So she was less than excited to sit in the seat to let the Dentist look at her teeth. But, He was able to count her teeth and to notice that her mouth will most likely be too small for her grown up teeth. And we all know what that means, braces. Well at least he let us know now so we can start saving up.

She did like holding the dentist's little mirror and at the end she got to pick a prize which she thought was pretty cool. It must not have been that bad, because later that day she was asking to go to the dentist again.

First Tooth

We are excited to announce Jordyn got her first tooth and turned 9 months old on friday. I was surprised because she didn't act really whiney or anything like that. She has been a little slower than Alexis when it comes to getting her teeth, but she it sure a lot quicker when it come to crawling and possibly walking. Jordyn had been getting pretty daring in trying to stand up and balance on her own. She is so much fun. She is such a sweet baby. She seems to be much more mellow than Alexis. She loves to laugh and eat anything that is near her, even if it is a leaf. She is a silly little girl.

She is by no means a clean eater. She really gets into her food.

The Big News

Sorry to keep you all in suspense like that. And for those of you that were wondering, no Jordyn did not take her first step and no I am not pregnant, unfortunately. I wish. Anyway, The big news is we got a new car this last week. I am so excited. You are looking at the proud owner of a slightly used 2004 Honda Pilot. I have always liked them, but now that I have been driving it for a few days I love it. I can't tell you how happy I am to have this beauty.







I do have to say I was really sad to say goodbye to my jeep. I loved that car and it was a great car for me. That car had been through a lot with me. The last eight years with that jeep had been great. We have made many memories together, but like Christa said. There is a point in audulthood when you must buy a real serious family car. I was hard for me to give you up. Jeepy, I love you and will miss you.

News

I have some other exciting news about something that happened this week, but I really don't want to do it without picture. So I am going to give this a try tommorrow and see if it will let me put pictures on then.

Finally they are gone.

I am 27 and I finally got my wisdom teeth out. I had been trying to get tham out for so long and the day finally came Thursday. At first I was really wanting to be put out, but after weighing out the cost I decided to do it in the Dentists office. It wasn't so bad. The worst part or the whole ordeal is not being able to eat what I want. I can't believe I am saying this but it sucks only being able to eat yogurt and ice cream. Usually I love ice cream but it is getting old and I'm sure it is going to take a toll on my figure. They aren't so much in pain anymore, but I am affriad of getting stuff stuck in the big gaping holes in my mouth now. But they are finally out and I am happy to have thet done with.

4th of July

We had a fun holiday. Jordyn got to go to her first parade and she had a ball. She is quite the trooper. The sirens and shooting of the guns didn't even make her cry. The weather was great too, because it was just a little over cast so it kept the sun from blaring down on us.

We hung out with the entire family at the parade, like we do every year. It is tradition and I love it.

Alexis was much more onto the whole parade thing this year, She was out there trying to get all the candy and otter pops she could. Good thing she had Carter and Landen there to help her out. She wasn't quite as quick as the rest of them. Are those just the cutest kids yuo have ever seen? :)

We then went to my parents and had our tradtional lunch BBQ. Rusty was so tired he Fell asleep in the middle of eating. (Not really. I think I am the only one in the family that falls asleep while eating.) He was just taking a little nap. So Alexis figured he would be a good table and set her plate on him and then I saw Wyatt standing next to him with a toy that played music and he told Rusty when he woke up that he "was playing music to help him sleep."

Here are the girls hanging out with their friends at the BBQ.

Alexis had a lot of fun with the sparklers. She was really too young last year to do much with them. She would just sit mesmorized watching it and not know what was going on around her. It was quite funny. And she couldn't get enough of the pop's either. She found some at home the next day and had to pop them all.

Watching Fireworks with daddy. At first she was terrified of the big ones, but ones she realized that they weren't going to hurt her she was fine. Jordyn liked all the fireworks. She even stayed up long enough to see the begining of the big show, but soon gave in and went to sleep. Our BBQ was right next to Highland High so we got to see the Sugar House fireworks. I had never seen them before. They were pretty nice.
