Our Growing Family

Baby is a BOY!

2009-06-09T20:35:00.000-07:00

I am happy to announce that we are having a son! Lexi is so excited about having a baby bother! She sings to him, hugs him and kisses him all the time! I would love to put some U/S pictures on here but I really don't know how to use my scanner.... oh well.

I will try to post more often updates on Pregnancy and such.

Me and my "Angel"

2008-06-19T10:11:00.000-07:00

Here is my favorite picture of my little booger and me...

And here is a picture of her first time at the water park... she isn't too sure about all the water spaying her in the face and all the big kids running around and in to her.

"Coffee"

2008-05-03T11:45:00.000-07:00

Starbucks then and now. Still as loved as ever!

Counting and potty training

2008-05-02T10:37:00.000-07:00

Today Lexi counted to 6. Usually we say one and she copies and we go up to ten, but today she said one so I copied her and she went til 6. Pretty exciting for a one and a half year old!

Also the other day we were on our way to the park and she said "poo potty" so I told her to hold it, totally not thinking she would or could. Sure enough she waited til the park and she was on the potty and she pooped. Then two days ago she came up to Chris and said "poo potty" once again so he took her the the potty and for the first time she went pee on the potty! YAY!

Okay and here are some wonderful pictures of one of her favourite hobby....

Oh yes.....

2008-04-09T10:31:00.001-07:00

This is what I have been waiting for, for about 18 months..... pigtails and pigtail braids!! We just turn on Dora or Backyardagains and she sits so perfectly.... most of the time!

Also couldn't resist posting this picture! My little princess!

Fletch

2008-04-09T09:51:00.001-07:00

So we decided Lexi needed a pet, so we went out and bought her a hamster.
We named him Fletch,(as in the movie from the 80's) We probably should've named him better for her though, sometimes when she says his name it sounds like F***. Oh well she'll get it one day. We built him a huge cage/ jungle gym, with tunnels everywhere.Chris has the most fun with the cage. It seems we redesign it every time we clean it. Which is a lot cause hamsters kind of stink. Its a lot of fun. As far as Lexi goes she loves petting him and watching him in his cage. We have to be careful with and him because she get so excited then gets really rough. All in all we really do love Fletch.

Pretty Soon

2008-03-27T11:46:00.000-07:00

So I am a major slacker and haven't posted anything in forever, but I fully intend on posting this week.

Here is a picture of Lexi and 2 of her cousins.

Its Been A Long Time

2007-08-15T23:53:00.000-07:00

Hi there!! Well I was going to stop posting on here, because I have a ton of pictures on Facebook but I have changed my mind. I probably won't post often but for major events or if I have free time I will for sure! Speaking of free time, I don't have much of that anymore, as I got a new job at Starbucks. I have been working there part time for a month now. STRESSFUL! Last Sunday I finally felt less overwhelmed and more confident so I am very excited about this! Its a pretty good place to work! I ma just starting to get to know some of the regular customers, and they are fun! It will be some time yet before I learn their "drinks" though.

Lexi's 1st hair do! If you can see, I put a little clip in her hair! I think it lasted about 2 hours in her hair so I was happy with that! I so can't wait for the pigtails though! This is Lexi and her friend Izzy! Last time they hung out they actually played together! Its so wonderful when a baby becomes a kid! There will be many play dates to come thats for sure!
Lexi looking very perplexed! I have no idea why! Just thought it was cute!
And this is Jakob, Lexi's other friend! It works out well when we go over to Denise's to "play" her kids take turns napping so Lexi gets each one to herself!
Anyways that is all for now, if you want to see a ton more pictures get facebook I have a ton yes a ton of pictures on there!

And some scenery pictures...

2007-06-20T02:01:00.001-07:00

Here are a couple pictures I have taken at the park that aren't of Lexi!

Wow its been a month....

2007-06-20T01:32:00.000-07:00

So, I am a slacker. What has Lexi been up to the last month... nothing to much really. We really have just been doing the same ole stuff. Hung out with family a couple times and have gone to the park. I really wish I had more to talk about but I don't. Here are some pictures to catch us up on the last month!
Lexi "drinking" Starbucks, she gets really mad at us if we don't give her her condensation!

Lexi-boo and Izzy-boo playing together. They were actually sharing!

Lexi's 1st mohawk! I thought it was cute!

Lexi and Uncle Robert!

Lexi and Auntie Emily!

Lexi's New Chair

2007-05-24T15:39:00.000-07:00

We got Lexi this new chair from the Outdoor Depot, the other day, and it is her favorite thing ever. If she is watching TV we will put her in it and She will sit and watch for ever (if we let her). So here are some pictures of her in her chair!

Playing in the Grass

A Day At The Park

Gosh I haven't posted in a while... I'm so sorry! Well these are pictures of us and Lexi at the park, first taste of grass, haha, lawn grass...not whatever else you were thinking... and just playing with us! She loves the freedom of the outdoors there is nothing really for her to get into and she can just crawl around like the crazy kid she is! I can't wait for summer to be here so we can go out and let her play everyday!!

This Weekend

2007-05-07T16:39:00.000-07:00

This weekend we had a ton of fun! On Friday I got to go out all day with Denise Siemens shopping!! It was wonderful! I bought a new swimsuit and we went out for dinner at the Olive Garden! Free bread and Salad it was amazing!
On Saturday Lexi and I went to Denise Friessen's son Jakob's 2nd birthday! Lexi was a little overwhelmed with all the "new" people but I had a great time just hanging out in the great outdoor's. They have a HUGE back yard and all the kids were just playing and having a blast.... Gosh I really want a backyard now.
Then on Sunday we went to Oma and Opa's (Chris's parents) house for Oma's birthday! Lexi had a blast.... Gosh I really want a backyard now.
Then on Sunday we went to Oma and Opa's (Chris's parents) house for Oma's birthday! Lexi had a great time hanging out with her Grandparents and Granny and Uncle Ian and Aunty Rachel...
Here is a picture of Lexi hanging out with Opa and her new dolly!

Peek a Boo I see you! Lexi loves hanging in her saucer... but not the normal way. She will crawl in to the bottom of it and play!

This is our new little puppy! She will crawl all over the house holding a toy in her mouth, when she feels like playing she stops and takes it out of her mouth, then when she is done back it goes in her mouth!

Standing and At the Park

2007-04-28T15:03:00.000-07:00

Our amazing little Lexi figured out how to pull her self up, so she can stand!!
Yay! We are so proud of her! Pretty soon she'll be running around... can't wait!

Today I woke up and realized the sun was shining, so off we went to the park! As you may be able to tell in the pictures, Lexer LOVES the swings so much! She loves it when Chris pushes her nice and high. The higher the better for her!
I so can't wait to take her to Playland this summer!! Our little dare devil!

Poor little sick chick....

2007-04-22T23:48:00.000-07:00

Lexi is always so excited to see the cats... if she is eating she will stop if one of them walks by. It is so annoying but kinda cute! So here is a picture of Lexi with Booker. By the time I could get her to look my way Booker had ran away.... what a smart cat!

Lexer has been so sick the last week. It has put a toll on all of us.... she wakes up in the middle of the night and can't breath then she gets all pissy if we wipe the snot off her face... Sheesh.... Finally there was a light at the end of the tunnel, she has been so happy!!! Yay! She still has a bit of a stuffy nose and a tad of a cough but it is very manageable and we aren't dodging flying snot anymore! So needless to say we are very pleased!!

This picture was taken today... we were laughing so hard and searching for the camera for like 2 minutes and the snot bubble stayed so.... yeah I had to post it! I think this is the best thing I have ever seen!!

Anyways.... I hope everyone gets a good laugh out of this picture, cause we sure did!

Yay Canucks!!

2007-04-15T23:34:00.000-07:00

So I guess Canucks won this game.... I really have no idea about what goes on with Hockey. I like to know who is playing and who is winning, but as far as watching I really don't feel the need(unless of course I am there at the game). So me and Chris went for a walk and I am guessing that the Canucks won because within minutes of the game ending the streets were full of people honking and hanging out of windows!!! Then just in case we didn't know this some one very kindly yells "WE WON IN OVERTIME" as if we didn't know that we won... but it was nice anyway! Hmm.... Maybe I should watch a couple games or something so I can see what all this fuss is about, seems like it could be fun.

Here are some pictures of Lexer, we got her ears pierced over a week ago but I haven't been able to take a really good picture of it until a couple days ago. So finally I went in her room to wake her up one morning and she was sleeping perfectly, so I took some pictures, then I decided I wanted it black and white so I had to get a program to that for me... finally I have a picture!!

Here is Lexi doing her best at standing... She loves that shoe box, she pushes it around and hits it, yeah so needless to say we have a big shoe box in the middle of our floor... oh well as long as she likes it who cares.

Lexi Video

2007-04-14T18:14:00.000-07:00

I was trying to put a video on here but I have no idea how to or if you even can so.... I put it on youtube so yeah... all you have to do is cut and paste the link below in to your search bar and you will get to watch.... not quite what I had in mind but it works.

The video is of Lexi playing drums I thought it was so cute so I had to share with all you lovely people!!

Lexi our little goof ball

2007-04-11T23:03:00.000-07:00

So last night Lexi found the Bongo Drums, she was playing them
and playing them I took a video of her but as soon as I wanted to take a picture she stopped. Oh well! She is such a goof sometimes. I don't understand how she figures out how to make the faces she makes, but she does and she makes us laugh... so I am sharing these so hopefully she will make you laugh. Sigh* silly little kid!

I can't wait for the weather to get just a little warmer so I can take her to the park and get more exciting pictures of her but for now my living room will be the back drop! Anyways thanks for looking and feel free to comment I love comments!
