Favorites

Three of my favorite things Lexi does right now:
1. She loves to clean up. I love to hear her singing "clean up clean up everyone do your share"
2. She is the thank you queen. She always tells me "thank you mama". It always melts my heart and makes me smile. Even if she's thanking Cole she still adds the mama at the end.
3. She is trying to count. She does pretty good and usually only skips the number 3. Her favorite way to count is 4 5 6 or 8 9 10. It just makes me smile because even though she doesn't know her colors or letters she knows her numbers...after all she is our daughter!

Labor Day

For Labor Day we went to Camp Verde. We saw Montezuma's castle and well. We really enjoyed seeing them and going to a new place.

Dress up

Lexi has really enjoyed dressing up lately. She almost always wears a necklace when we go places. She loves to wear her hat and has been trying to figure out how to put clothes on. She likes to put on my socks and shoes and does it everyday. It always makes me smile when she comes up with her creations.

Camping

We got to go camping with Eden's family this weekend. We camped in Oak Creek Canyon. Lexi loved being able to play in the dirt without me nagging her to stop. She loved playing in the tent (which proved difficult when it came time for bed:). Cole had to take her for a car ride to get her to sleep. When Lexi woke up (at 5:45) she sat and with excitement said, "Mama, Dada". She was thrilled to have us right next to her. She got to fish with her cousins and have a picnic. We had a fun time and enjoyed spending time with Eden's family.

Utah

We went to Utah and had a great time. Cole went camping with my Dad and some other guys in the Uintas. They got to have some "manly" fun. While they were camping me and Lexi got to spend time with my Mom and other family. It was so nice. Grandpa got a crib and Lexi loved her new special bed. She did so much better in general this trip. She loved playing under the stairs in the playhouse. Lexi also loved her cousins! She would scream "Kenna" when we would get to their house (I didn't think she even remembered where they lived from our last trip). She learned how to say all of their names. The last day I was there she heard the doorbell ring and she yelled "Kenna" with excitment but it turned out to only be the Fedex man. Even now if I mention their names she gets excited. Lexi also loved to play in my Moms closet. She would try on shoes and play with her jewelery. I got to go to the temple and do some shopping while my Mom watched Lexi. It was so fun to go back to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It brought back so many memories. I also got to make some crafts with the girls in my Moms family. I love my relatives. They are all so good to me. It was such a fun trip!

Snowbowl - Hike 6

Earlier this month we did a little hike near Snowbowl. It was really beautiful and we'd like to go back in the fall when the leaves change.

Example

One day this week I had an eye opening experience. I had just put Lexi in her high chair to feed her breakfast. She started yelling something over and over. I was having trouble figuring out what she was telling me. Finally I figured it out...she was saying pray. I had forgotten to say the prayer on our food and she was reminding me. I'm so glad I have such a sweet little girl that keeps me on the right path. These pictures are of her taking care of her bear. We had the high chair on the carpet and she decided to put him in and feed him. She loves to take care of him. She's a little mommy at heart.
