I'm such a mom..

So I'm starting to feel kind of bad.. I never stop taking pictures and Alexis is probably like Okay Mom, that's enough.. I mean I even take them when she's sleeping.. She never gets a break.. There is something about your baby when they are sleeping though.. They are so precious!! You almost forget for a minute all the messes they made that day.. or all the tantrums they threw!! I always catch myself watching her sleep!! I love Alexis so much!! I wish she could stay small forever! Sometimes I feel like if I blink she'll suddenly be 3 months older.. Time has flown by and I cannot believe my baby is getting so big.. But like any mom says.. "She'll always be my baby!"

Haircut...

I chopped my hair off about a week ago.. I've been wanting to cut my hair for a while now.. I'm definately someone that likes to change my hair and do new things.. But Jonathon didn't want me to cut it.. It was pretty damaged though so I went ahead and had Ami cut it.. I really like it! I like short hair because it is so much easier to do! And I've always thought short hair was more fun to do! The nice thing though is that these days you can just wear clip in extensions!! So when I want long hair, I can have long hair.. And when I want short.. It's short!! So I'm pretty happy with it!!

Silly girls!!

A couple weeks ago we all went out and went shooting.. Sheleen got a lot of really great pic's of Alexis and Aria.. They are both so dang cute.. And when they get along and play nice together, they have such a good time.. They both can be very silly.. And it's so much fun to watch them play!! They were having a great time playing in the dirt.. While the rest of us had a good time shooting at clay pigeons, and targets!!

I'm really starting to like it here!!

Jonathon, Alexis, and I went on a 4-wheeler ride tonight and it was such a beautiful night! It was a little bit windy but still not cold enough to really have to get bundled up.. A small jacket is still enough! I forgot to take my camera and I am so mad.. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous.. and it made me realize how much I actually like living down in this area.. Of course I LOVE living by Lake Powell.. But sometimes it's frustrating to not be able to just drive down to a grocery store.. I think sometimes I let myself complain about living in such a small town.. But I've really come to like living in Ticaboo.. Not necessarily the "town" Ticaboo.. But this area!! I will really really miss it when we go back up north.. It is so neat to be able to hop on the 4-wheeler and go for a ride, right in your back yard.. It's so quiet and peaceful here.. and I've really enjoyed getting to know the people in this area.. I love our little branch.. and I really enjoy being a primary teacher!! It's also nice to walk across the street and have friends and family here!!!

Bubbles.. Bubbles.. Bubbles..

One of Lexi's new favorite things to do.. Is blow bubbles.. She always wants to go outside and blow bubbles!! Luckily it hasn't been too cold in Ticaboo yet!

Halloween Party!

We had such a great time at the Halloween Party!! And there was a great turn out!! Our branch doesn't have to many people.. But luckily there are quite a few kids!! So it was so much fun to get to see them all dressed up!! I think all the kids costumes were so cute! We played lots of games.. Like bobbing for apples! (Jonathon did a great job!) We had a marshmallow eating contest.. Alexis won her challenge!! I didn't know she was such a great marshmallow eater!! I on the other hand did not do so good.. Every time I'd go to get another marshmallow I gagged!! It was disgusting..

There was a balloon popping contest for the kids.. And they also had a bean bag toss!! They even did the fishing game.. and got some cool prizes!! Everyone had a great time.. Thanks Sheleen, Justin, and Aria for having us!

All dressed up and ready for the Party!!

Alexis was able to wear her Hallween costume a little bit early! Our cousin Sheleen, Justin, and Aria had a Halloween party last night! Alexis had a great time getting her face painted and wearing her Kitty Costume!! She looked adorable!! I had to get lots and lots of pictures!!
