St. George

We went to St. George last weekend. We went right after Jaron's uncles funeral. It was great to be with family! I love hanging out with them! It was a nice get away! The weather was perfect! It wasn't to hot. Our allergies started to kick in and mine and Alexis's nose went crazy. She got her first snot bubble blowing going on. Not to cool. We had a lot of pool time! We did a little shopping, played at super fun park. Addison and Halee played in the water there. Ate yummy food, and helped G.R.R. write there first song. You will all love it when you hear it on the radio lol GRR stands for Girls Rock and Roll it is Addison and Halee's band. They are so cute! They are OBSESSED with there band!! We started making up a dance for the song. They wrote a song. The hole family have jobs that they will be doing for the band. Me and Corri love to encourage them. Jaron got great quality time golfing with his dad. Everyone loved playing with Lexi! Alyssa is the biggest help with her! She is the cutest girl ever! She is our fashion diva! Isn't she growing up so gorgeous!! (We just found out she has a sever case of scoliosis. I'm amazed she has been able to dance and do back handsprings! She will be getting surgery next summer. And she will still be able to do everything normal afterwards.) Before leaving town we went to Slit Rock. I think that's what it's called. I wasn't able to go through because I'm to chubby. The kids went through. We met them at the top. It was crazy they even fit through. I think I would need a boob reduction to ever fit through. Over all the trip was great! I love St. George! I could go every month!!

Alexis's Blessing Pictures

While I was up in St. George my sister took Alexis's pictures in her blessing dress. I love them! They turned out so beautiful and cute! I love my baby! She is just perfect!

Camp Fires, Tin Foil Dinners, and Camping

We went up the canyon with some friends and had tin foil dinners a while back. I am in love with tin foil dinners!! Jaron makes them so good! In the winter we make them in our oven that's how much I love them!

It was fun to take Alexis up the canyon for the first time and take her down by the river. She was cranky the first night we took her up but great after the second time.

I got to dress her in her warm clothes that I had in that size to so I was excited for that!

Then a few weeks later we decided to go camping up AF canyon for the week. It was SO nice!! We didn't go camping last year and I missed it so much!! I love camping weird to hear it coming from me. I like 2 nights but no more no less. Unless you can shower. We were able to borrow a motor home and which made the whole experience wonderful!

Alexis loved it!! She is such a great camper!

We had friends and family come up at dinner time. We played some chubby bunny. It was so relaxing just what we needed!

I love camping like that! It was great I can't wait to do it again!

Lately

I am horrible at blogging anymore! Isn't that how I always start out? I haven't really been in the mood lately for blogging. I usually just blog about all the fun things we do and about how cute Alexis is but here are a few things that have been going on in the Laird home. Jaron has had 2 uncles die this summer. It has been very sad and very hard on him and his family! I can not keep my dogs a way from each other when ever I think Roxy is in heat I separate them and then a month later I catch them humping each other. So yep I guess I'm running a puppy mill. I didn't even mean too. I don't know when to expect puppies but I think we'll be having them in Octoberish? We plan to get Roxy fixed after this. That poor dog. Jaron had a lot of unexpected time off which was wonderful to be able to spend time with him but not good for other reasons. He is now back working and me and Lexi miss him so much! I really wish he could get a job and be home every night!! Maybe someday... But I have now been looking for a job. I do work for my mother in laws adoption agency still. But I am needing something more. I have looked at every online thing out there possible. I really don't want to put Alexis in daycare. It makes me sick thinking about it. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with day care or that it is wrong I actually saw on Dr. Phil that kids in day care develop faster. I am just a crazy lunatic mom that hates leaving her child. So if any of you know of any great options let me know!

Well as for my cute baby she will be 6 months in a week! Crazy! She can kind of roll over. Not great and not all the time. She is getting sturdy enough to almost be able to sit on her own but she still can't sit on her own. I think she may walk before that happens lol. She is the best little stander! She loves it! If you hold her hands she'll pick up her feet and kind of take steps. She loves her food! She eats SO MUCH!! She eats 9 oz at a time every 2-3 hours. She has been eating food the last month and loves her sweat potato's, bananas, and apple sauce. Her Grammie Lori got her this cool net thing that you put fruit in and she can suck the juice out of. She LOVES it! She loves pineapple in it. (I know she's not quite 6 months but I figure 2 weeks early wasn't going to hurt) She loves to growl and squeal! She has broken one tooth on the bottom I think it's her eye tooth, but I'm not sure. She must be a little vampire baby. lol Her favorite show of course is still Mickey Mouse Club House and she is starting to like Sesame Street. She hates Handy Many it's so funny whenever it comes on she screams at the TV! She lover her toys and grabbing thing she isn't suppose to like knives off the table when your holding her. She really is such a great baby!! Whenever I say she is cranky or anything that means she cried that day and wanted me to hold her a lot. I couldn't ask for a better baby! She can always make me smile no matter what! I'm so glad I have this little girl!

Idaho

I went to Idaho earlier this week to see my sister and her kids. I drove up with my other sister and my mom. It was nice to get away and with Jaron going back to work it made it easier for him to go. It was just a short trip up and back. We were able to play with the kids a lot. We went to the Boise Discovery Center. It was really cool! It was kind of like a big science fair. I was not smart enough for it. I was like wow what's that... lol My nieces and nephews love it there. They will be able to explain it all to me soon. My sister took pictures of Alexis in her blessing dress. So stay tune for those soon! My nieces and nephews loved to give Alexis attention. They have another cousin named Sophie and kept getting the name mixed up but she didn't care she was just happy to have someone play with her. We left Wednesday morning and stopped by my grandparents on the way home. It was my grandpa's birthday and we surprised him by showing up. They hadn't met Alexis yet. He loves babies it was fun to see him with her! It was nice to see them! It was a fun short trip!! I wish my sister lived closer so I could see her more!
