Updates

Just some updates on what we've been doing:

I have been working like crazy - making alot of Christmas gifts this year. I can't post most of them . . . for obvious reasons. But here is one I can show - I made it this summer at my mom's super saturday. I loved it so much I made one for me too! Just a cute little lollipop tree.

Kaden has been loving soccer and doing really well. He has improved a lot this season - both in skills and in attitude. He LOVES soccer and I think will play for many years to come. After this little 8 week season is over - we are going to try basketball for a few weeks. We'll see how it goes!

Lexie is growing so fast! She just turned 9 months old and I want to journal a little about her: She is very mobile now and is crawling all over the house. She has also started pulling herself up on everything! She is so proud of herself every time. She is also started eating "real food" since she doesn't have much interest in baby food and loved to feed herself. Now that she is crawling, Lex loves to follow Bailey and Kaden around the house. For the most part, they are very good with her. Bailey, especially, just loves her and loved to pretend that Lexie is her baby to take care of. Lexie is pretty unpredictable at night - some nights are great when she sleeps from 7pm to 7 am. But other nights she is up several times - hopefully that is just teething! It's so fun to see her little personality showing through more and more. It is funny - I get stopped in the store all the time and people comment on her red hair and ask if she has the temper to go with it. I always so no because she really is a happy and sweet natured baby. Hopefully she stays that way!

Here is Kaden with the Legacy Lion. Each kid in his class gets a turn being student of the week and they get to take home the lion for the week. He was SOOOO excited when it was his turn to bring the lion home! He cryed the day we had to send him back to school - Kaden sat on his bed sobbing, saying "I'll miss you Legacy Lion! I'll miss you so much!" And then he forgot about it a few minutes later - typical Kaden.

Here is Lexie's first haircut - just a little trim to even things out. I still can't believe how much hair she has - bailey had a little fuzz at this age!

Here is Bailey being typical Bailey. This is what she does all day long. She is rarely without a purse and high-heels. The rest of the accessories vary. Right here she is actually wearing another tiara as a belt, but you can't really see it. I wish I could fit a crown around my waist - sheesh!

Matt finally got his new truck - only about 8 months late! His old hunker-junker kept breaking down on him. Not very reasurring when he is running code and doing 90 miles an hour! So he finally got a descent vehicle with a computer in it! Here he is in his dress uniform ready to go to a funeral. The lighting is bad, but doesn't he look good?!
