Lexie's 1st Birthday!

March 29th, 2009 - Lexie turns 1



Lexie not blowing out the candle

Brandon had to convince her to give it a try by sticking some frosting on her lip

She decided to test it out for herself
And it was ALL OVER from there!!! (literally)
We gave her a quick sink bath changed her clothes and she was ready for presents!




James, Melissa and Hunter Smith came to celebrate with us.

She's digging her new lady bug bean bag.


I think she had a good day! Happy Birthday Lexie!

The Red Robin staff singing Happy Birthday to Lexie, she wasn't sure what to think of that



But she definitely knew what to do with the ice cream.



Thanks for the great visit Papa Stace!

Picture day

I am taking pictures of the kids to frame for our "family" wall since the last ones we have up they are not even a year old yet. Anyway, I started with Chloe so most of them are her, I was going to finish up the the other kids but it started to snow the next day... I thought they turned out pretty well though.

Some more random pics...

We have had a pretty uneventful month but I thought I would post some random pics of the kids I have taken.



I think this one is funny, she had been bossing us around all night. Yelling obscenities... at least I am sure they would be if she could talk. I didn't correct the red eye because well, it just portrays her perfectly that night.




My kids on St Patrick's Day


Claire and Chloe



Play group, stopped at Wendy's for a quick lunch.


Jackson got his second Top of the Rock award in Art.

Castle Rock Star Lighting Ceremony

During the holiday months the town of Castle Rock light a large star that sits on the top of Castle Rock. They even have a little Christmas festival during the day and then a lighting ceremony at night. Well, the Schmidts, Smiths, Tyson and Miranda and our family decided to go check it out. To be honest the night was a little anticlimactic and very cold. And I don't think I could convince anyone of them to return next year but at least we made a memory right?
