Also this month I recommend looking at the recipe section if you like good food and guess what it's actually healthy. But don't tell your kids so they will still eat it. Everything is so good that I have made from our featured blogger.

Lexi in action

Here she is trying to be a dog again.

Hello! Hello! She always calls her dad... on everything like her shoes. She says "Da Da!" Or you if you ask her where Da Da is she looks at your phone. I think she thinks he lives in it.

Loving on Zoey the Zebra. She freaking loves that thing!

At Nana's house swinging and playing with the kitty, but in her mind a dog

I'm a great mom and she had Cheetos for breakfast. She also had some oatmeal afterwards.

After a long day and only a 20 minute nap. This is her at the store showing her true colors. Everyone would be proud of me it was the first time she went all day with out a bow in her hair all day while we running errans and going to appointments. It was tough on me but I did it.

Lexi is now walking

She got herself stuck in the Bumbo

She fell and hit her head on her grandma's coffee table. Her eyes got pretty swollen. My sweet little sister in law was the one that had let her go walking before she fell so she felt responsible and was devastated. Obvisouly it wasn't her fault  babies fall all the time when they are learning to walk. And I kept telling her that. She is such a good auntie and loves Lexi so much and Lexi loves her to death.

This is the next day when she woke up they both were a little purple like eyeshadow but by the end of the day the color was gone and she barely had a mark. I'm sure this is the first of many black eyes. It didn't even faze her. She cried for a minute after it happened and that was it.

Easter 2011

Easter was a ton of fun this year with Lexi kind of knowing what was going on. I tried to tell her that a bunny was going to come visit her and bring her stuff and she kept telling me it was a dog coming. So after a few hours we gave up the fight. Jaron was able to come home for 4 hours on Easter before leaving again for 2 weeks. It was good to see him but way to short of time.

Before he got home he called me and told me to go look in the garage for my Easter basket the bunny left me. I was surprised and thought it was fun because I haven't gone on a Easter hunt for a while. There were a few things for both me and Lexi in the basket.

Lexi got spoiled from us, and all her grandparents! The thing she was most excited to see in her Easter basket were pink peeps.  She started screaming and trying to open it. It was funny especially because she has never had peeps before.

Her second favorite thing was to shake the Easter eggs filled with jelly beans.

She also got a few dresses (from all the grandparents and 1 from us.), a swimming suit. outfits, pj's, candy, bubbles, a book, a pair of shoes, a purse, bubble bath, a bunny in a purse, and her stuffed zebra Zoey.  So yeah super spoiled child it was like Christmas.

When I was at the store one day I showed her this cute zebra. Well she loved it and gave it a huge kiss and hugged it the whole time we shopped. So I was like um... I guess I have to get it because I had never seen her like something that much. She Loves Zoey! She rolls on the ground with it while she hugs it and lays on her. It is super cute. I have never seen a 1 year old love a stuffed animal so much.

Lexi took her first step that night all by herself. It was only one but I go a picture of it in action... and this is how she did it. With her purse in her mouth. I think she thinks she's a dog because she always carries things in her mouth like that. Nerdy kid, but I love her!

Spring Break

When it was Spring Break for all the kids we went to St. George with Jaron's family.  It was so nice to get out of the crappy weather and into the sun! The weather was a little windy some of the time but anything beat snow in April. Jaron played lots of golf with his brothers and Dad. The girls got pedicures, went shopping, and played BINGO. Lexi LOVES her aunts and they love her! They played with her so much and made her walk so much she slept so good at night.  It was a lot of fun and I was sad to leave! I love St. George more and more everytime we go there.
