Cooking up a Mess

Lexi loves to cook. She walks around stirring her pot with her spoon and says "mmmm... mmmm...". Today we put some cereal in the bowl so she could really eat it. And she did a nice job on the floor too!

All dressed up...

At just over a year old, our little girl already like to play dress up.
(She likes to pose for the camera, too!)

What to wear? The sparkley flips?

Mommy's tall shoes? (she puts all these by on herself!)

Brother's sandals?

Or, do you like my flipper?


Now, that I have my shoes, how about a hat?

I am so very stylish.

Ok, Mommy, I've got my shoes, my hat and my purse. Now I'm ready to go!

Back to School

School has been in session for a couple of weeks now, but Mommy is still getting used to being back on a schedule. Two boys were not very happy about the first "PHOTO OP" of school, although they actually love school. They both have great teachers and were lucky that their best friends are in their same classes again this year. Mommy will just have to get used to those early mornings once again.

Missing my brothers...

Now that the boys are off at school, it's just Mommy and Lexi. We are having fun together, but we sure miss our brothers!

A Very Boring Volcano

So, we thought this would be a fun project to do over the summer.... you know, like that nice explosion on the Brady Bunch. Well, watch and be amazed, sort of. And check out those safety glasses.

Summer is almost over

Before it all fades away, here are a few more pics of summer...

A Little More Cake, but not on the Lake

For David's birthday this year, we went camping at Blue Ridge Reservoir.
(It was also for Aaron's birthday, so Crissi and Aaron came along,
and we met Nat, Roland and crew there too.)

The boys loved hiking down to the beautiful lake.

Josh found a new stick.

The whole family

Another shot of the boys

Sam & his new pocketknife. (Josh got one too.)

Lexi enjoyed her first camping trip.

Do you like her pinecone hat?

When we got back home, we had a birthday cake.
Not something I can cook over the open fire.

Happy Birthday David!
