Look who's four!

Lexi convinced me to throw a "friend party" this year and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It was a princess party. All her little friends came dressed up in their gowns and we decorated crowns and wands and danced and played games; and ate cake of course! It was a sad moment for me when it finally came time to cut into our cake creation. Lexi had requested a temple /castle cake so I stayed up late Friday night decorating her cake with the help and inspiration of Adam and my parents who came to town to help us celebrate. We were really excited about the finished product and hope it's what Lexi was dreaming of. Adam, my dad, and my brother Quinten did a wonderful job decorating the front room to look "princessy" and castle-like. I'm so glad for all of their help and we all enjoyed a wonderful weekend having them in town. We might go into withdrawals in the month of June with no scheduled visitors after seeing so much of our families the past couple months. (So if anyone wants to come visit...) Thanks to everyone who helped make the day special for Lexi! No doubt you helped make her feel like a princess!

Happy Fourth Birthday Alexis! We sure love you!!!

Fun in the Sun

This past week, we had the privilege of going down to Newport Beach to meet up with Adam's parents and enjoy some fun in the sun. We had a wonderful week! We enjoyed the beach, the swimming pool, a day at Sea World and even a trip to the temple for Adam and me in between Allie's feedings -what a treat! The temple was beautiful (of course) inside and out! Thanks "Bacca Padry" and "Grandma Quick." We can hardly wait 'till the next time we see you.





Watching the Shamu Show at Sea World!




Even Dad's like to play in the sand!

Eew!

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys
... AND apparently girls are made of!


I get the shivers just looking at the picture!

Lexi's teacher brought her snake to school this week. Lexi thought it was great. She has also been surprisingly excited about their unit on Dinosaurs. She and "Pee-Wee" have been bathing every day trying to get the toy dinosaurs out of the soap bars Lexi brought home from school.

My how time flies!!!
