For Grandma Karla

She bought this wagon for Tessa for Christmas 2 years ago and Lexi thinks it is great!!

Out of the Mouths of Babes!!

This last week I was doing the dishes and Tessa had her scriptures out looking at the pictures. She stopped on the one with Samuel the Lamanite on the wall. We were talking about the story and Tessa said "Mom, no one could hurt him because God was with him " and I said that is right and her next comment was, "and it is OK if he falls mom because he has his humpty dumpty helmet on and he will be alright. :) I just had to smile. This weekend Lexi also learned how to say grampa!

This is the first time Lexi actually used a spoon and did not throw it on the floor and use her hands but I want everyone to notice what hand she is using. Dad & Aunt Cari should be excited.

Tee- Ball

Some of the benefits of living in a small town is that you get to do more. Tessa is 4 and gets to play tee-ball this year. They even let some 3 year olds play as well. Tessa did a good job but maybe next week she will wear shoes and sock and not her princess sandals. She had to stop at 3rd base twice to kick the sand out. We are so proud that she was able to hit the ball hard enough to make it go somewhere. She thinks the best part was the popsicle at the end of the game.

This is what I get!

This is what I get for taking a nap on Sunday and not cleaning up right away!!

A Date With Dad!!

On Saturday we were so lucky that Russ did not have to work so he took all his girls :) on a date to the large body of water west of town for some fishing. He did all the fishing and the girls played in the water. Lexi had a ball trying to run away from me until her feet got too cold and then we just took a walk. Tessa spent some time with her dad and then told me we had a water date to take off our shoes and get in. I was surprised to see that the water was warmer than expected.

We are BACK!!

We finally have high-speed internet again!! WHOOOPEEEE!!!! I have lost Russ to Youtube a few times but I myself have already spent some time here and done a little shopping!! We also used the web cam and talked to grandma Ina on SUnday. I am still trying to play catch-up so bear with me as I keep making changes. Here are some pictures of my girls because they are my all day and my life. These are the things we do on a rainy day to keep busy. Yes I was crazy to try to let Lexi finger paint with Tessa. I think I said "No not your mouth at least a hundred times.
