The cake

So i have tons of pictures from Lexis two parties on her birthday. So i thought i would do a few posts. I'll start with the cake. The first time i've made cake from scratch, made fondant, and icing from scratch too. Lets just say it may be my first and only time doing this. I get bored of doing stuff after awhile and lets just say after the 4th hour i was ready to quit. I had to make two batches of cakes, two things of fondant and it just took way longer than i thought. I started making the cakes at 10:30am and finally finished the whole thing at 5:30 pm. Its a good thing it turned out soo cute and good, or i might have cried.

Can you believe?!?!?!

October 24th is quickly approaching AGAIN!!! My sweet Lil peanut will be 2! It really is going to be a sad day i think for me. Its crazy how fast they grow up. It feels like i just had her 1st birthday. Anyways, we decided to get her pictures done. Amanda ( my sister in law) took her pictures and bless her heart stuck in there while Lexi cried, pitched a fit, and wanted nothing to do with the pictures. She really did a great job and I'm SO happy with the out come of what was supposed to be a fun day ended up being more work then fun. Lets just say its a good thing for barney songs, that seemed to be the only way to get her to smile. Here are a few of the like 50 pictures i love that she took.




Lexi looks like she could be 5 in the pictures, all grown up. We truly have been blessed to have such a sweet loving girl in our family.

Scarecrow Festival

Yesterday we went to Thanksgiving Point for there scarecrow festival. There was so much to do and we were actually there for 4 hours. Lexi had a blast and didn't want to leave. Its so fun to have all this so close to our house.
Here is Lexi dancing to the band playing in the background.
Lexi and Daddy petting the horse. I couldn't handle the smell.
Lexi being adorable on the hayride. But she got scared at the end when the headless horseman chased us!!
VROOM VROOM.. pedal race cars!!
Lexi's first pony ride.. She LOVED it and had the biggest cheese the whole time. I think she has a new favorite thing to do. I'm thinking next year we will make a few more trips over to thanksgiving point so she can ride the ponies.

GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!

That's right.. Paul and I are expecting number two on May 2, 2009. We went to the doctor today and i was put in the ultrasound room so they did a quick one. We were worried a little bit about things just because of the miscarriage before Lexi, so we didn't really get to excited. Until after the appointment when we were reassured everything was okay. I am 9 weeks along and been feeling okay actually. I've been nauseous off and on but not to the point of throwing up( which is in someways worse) and just been really tired. Sorry for the people who find out on here i just haven't had a chance to sit and call everyone. Lexi has been cute and will point to my tummy and say baby tummy!! She went to the doctor with us today and thought it was so cool that we saw the baby and she got a picture of it. We will keep you posted as the pregnancy progresses!!
