Can you find Nick in his fort?!?!? Or wait....maybe it's SPIDERMAN in there!!

Nick & Lexi were busy making *forts* today! Oh what fun they had!

Zander shared his exersaucer with my friend Pam's grandson Joesph. He is less than a month older than Zander. His birthday is on Phil's birthday!! 2/22!! He came for a visit Sunday afternoon!

This is coming tomorrow........

If any of you have HEARD our dryer, you will know why we've had enough!! That & the fact that it just DIED yesterday.

10:00 tomorrow morning I will be getting this. I've heard it makes doing the laundry more fun. I highly doubt that, but I'll let you know!!

Is that a chicken leg in your mouth Randy!??!

Our little MAN!!! Isn't he cute?!?!

Nick with his 3rd place trophey in the pedal pull contest!!! Way to go Nick!!

mmmmm how was it Nick??

Lexi & Karley doing the 3 legged race!

Nick in the pie eating contest!

Kraft's summer picnic was Saturday. Phil was in the pie eating contest. He didn't win....probably because he took a break instead of eating!!

Polly Pockets RULE!!

A little recap from last night or I should say this morning.

First off, I got to bed kind of late...I was IM'ing with Jennie & it was after midnight when we got done.

3:15 AM....awoken to the lovely SCREAMS of my daughter "MMMMOOOOOOMMMMEEEEEEE" Go upstairs & ask her what she wants. "I want the light on" (We leave her door open a little & the hall light on & then before we go to bed we shut the door & light off. Never been a problem) Fine, I turn the light back on & go back to bed.

3:20 AM.......hear a little girl coming into our bedroom. "Mommy, can you get my Polly Pockets dressed?" Daddy answered "Lexi, it's the middle of the night, get back to bed" Then we get to hear her cry.....before she gets all worked up, nice mother I am says "come here Lexi" She comes to my side of the bed, hands me her Polly Pocket (I REFUSE or can NOT open my eyes...they just don't want to work at this hour). So I fumble around & sort of got her pants on. Hand her to Lexi & then have Lexi lay by me for awhile.

3:28 AM........the wonderful monitor in our room starts to play a little music....AKA Zander lullaby. So I head upstairs w/ Lexi, tell her to go to bed & go & feed Zander. Hall light is still on, but I still can NOT get my eyes to open. A couple of minutes later, Lexi comes in Z's room & sits by me. I finish up w/ him & take her back to her room. She stops in the hall & hands me her Polly Pocket to now get her top on. I had to open my eyes. Ouch. I put it on, give it back to her & she says "that's NOT right mommy" So I put the damn thing on the RIGHT way & send her in her room.

4:08 am......I'm back in my bed.

I LOVE Polly Pockets, don't you?!?!?! Thanks for the GREAT Birthday gift Grandma!!

DOCTOR Appointments!!!

Nick & Lexi both saw the doctor today. Lexi for her 3 yr well baby check. She is 33 pounds & in good health ;-)

Nick had to get THREE shots before school starts. He did very good except the last one hurt. He held back, but a couple of tears came out. He SCREAMED & cried at home tonight when daddy took off the bandages. I guess that hurt more than the actual shot!!

There was a FIRST at the clinic too. Lexi cried & cried. She was upset that she wasn't getting a shot too like big brother. She cried all the way out the door. The doctor, nurse & everyone else that heard her said they've NEVER had that happen before. A kid crying because she's NOT getting a shot?!? HUH?? Yep, I've got some strange children!!

Oh, Nick was 63 pounds & I forgot how tall, but very tall for his age!

~~~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEXI ROSE~~~~

Opening presents....her Baby Bop Backpack!

Lexi's 3rd Birthday Cake!! BARNEY!! OF course!!!
