Growing So Big!!!

Our little Halle is getting so big - I can't believe she has been with us for almost eight weeks, but I can't imagine life without her.

The poor little bug was having a tough time last week and I couldn't figure out why. She didn't have a fever and everything else seemed to be okay. She was eating, pooping and sleeping normally, but when she was awake, all she wanted to do is cry. I felt so bad because I didn't know how to help her.

I finally took her to the doctor and it turns out she had a mild case of RSV - What!!! I thought if a baby had RSV, they had a cough and a fever. I felt so bad. Luckily, it is a real mild case and we hopefully won't have to hospitalize her. She can't go anywhere for 10 days. We were planning on blessing her on Sunday, March 1, but we will have to postpone, because she will still be under "quarantine". I am sad about that, but I am so thankful she isn't' sicker than she is. This will be my last week before I have to go back to work, and I can spend it holding and loving my baby girl!!!

We bought her a Bumbo seat - Look how big she looks - She is growing up before my eyes. I love her so much. She has brought so much joy into our lives in her short little time.

Valentine's Day

This year we had a low key Valentine's Day, but we had a great time anyways.

Cupid came to our house early in the morning. He brought both Lexi and Halle a bucket full of fun stuff. Lexi got a new swimsuit and cover-up along with some new sandals. She also got a new Tinkerbell book with some markers. Halle's bucket had some flip flops, a new sun hat, some Binky's and some cute new jammies.

Ryan gave me some new sheets - They are fabulous and so soft - I love them. The girls and I got Ryan some gift cards to Lowe's so he can continue working on his home improvement projects.

We went to an early dinner so Sampan. We left the house at 4:30 so we could beat the crowds. We did a great job, but I felt bad by the time we finished because I think our two kids we not helping create a romantic atmosphere for the other couples in the restaurant. I think our kids were the only ones in the restaurant. Oh, well - We had fun.

Lexi and Halle looked so cute in their Valentines outfits - We are so lucky we have such cute Valentines!!!

Birthday Girl

Lexi turned four years old on February 13. I can't believe how quick four years has flown by. It seems like yesterday she was a newborn little baby and now she is my four year old little girl. She is growing up so fast.

We are planning a trip to Disneyland next month to celebrate Lexi's birthday, so we didn't do a big party this year. Instead, Lexi took her two friends, Amelia and Donne to Build A Bear and lunch at the mall.

The girls had so much fun. They all chose the exact same bear, but they all dressed them differently. They were so good. I was worried about taking three four year old little girls and Halle to the mall by myself, but it was a lot of fun. Lexi built a Hannah Montana bear and it turned out so cute.

After we were done building bears, we had lunch at Hot Dog on a Stick and got cookies from Mrs. Fields cookies. Lexi was so excited to go to the mall with her friends - She kept asking them if they had ever been before.

On Lexi's birthday, we had a fun day at home. She was able to open her presents and play with them all day. She got a Light Bright, her very own CD player, a cheerleading outfit and pompoms and some new spring clothes. She also got a Princess art set from Halle.

Ever since Lexi went to a football game with Ryan earlier this year, she has been obsessed with being a cheerleader. She would put her tutu on with some leggings for her outfit and cheer. Her she is in her University of Utah outfit. (Lexi HATES turtlenecks and wont' wear the shirt that goes under the dress). She is very particular about her hair as well. She won't let me put nice pig tails in, just quick ones to play.

Lexi's favorite food is crab, so we took her to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner where she got her very own crab meal. She ate every bit of it. The servers made a big deal about her birthday. They put a feather boa on her and sang happy birthday. She thought it was great.

Lexi had cupcakes instead of a cake for her birthday. She had such a fun day and received so many nice gifts. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a fun day!!!

Princess Lexi

Lexi was invited to her friend Amelia's birthday party and it was a princess party. Lexi was so excited to get to dressed like a princess. I ordered her a dress that was on clearance from Disney.com and when it arrived, I called it her prom dress. There was so much tulle and netting that the dress weighed at least 5 pounds. I bought it a little big so she can wear it for Halloween next year.

She makes such a beautiful Cinderella.

Lexi had a great time at the party. All she could talk about was the how the "Real" Cinderella came to the party. Cinderella told them about her castle that was far, far away (Lexi decided far, far away is by Uncle Kody's House) and her mice that live with her.

A big thank you to Amelia and her mommy and daddy for a great birthday party. Lexi had a great time!!!
