Party of Three

This morning we signed Lexi up for her first dance class!  She will take ballet and tap on Tuesdays beginning this August.  This afternoon we bought tap shoes, tights, and a leotard.  On another note, tomorrow morning we will have to go back to the dance store to see if we left little puppy dog (a.k.a. "Five") at the store.  Tonight, when I put Lexi to bed she asked where her little puppy dog is...he could not be found.  He must be at the dance store.  First thing in the morning we will go see if he is there.  Lexi loves Five so much.  He is a tiny beanie baby and she sleeps with him and carries him everywhere.  When we couldn't find Five tonight, she picked up a Goofy figurine and said, "I'll sleep with Goofy.  He's a dog."  I am just heartbroken she doesn't have Five.  In fact, I put Lexi to bed 42 minutes ago and I am still kicking myself for not checking to see if she had Five before we left the store.  Lexi seems to b...

Yesterday, Nine turned one.  Today, we celebrated with a special dinner, cake, party hats (or bows rather), and a very special present for Nine.  We found a perfect pillow with her name on it.  Lexi loved shopping for Nine and picking out her cake.  We love you, Nine!

The wedding of the summer was on 7.23.11 when Uncle Daniel married Aunt Kristi.  They both looked wonderful and so in love.  We had a blast at the wedding and Lexi did a great job as one of the flower girls!  During the reception, Lexi danced the night away.  She sang, jumped, did hand gestures, and danced  until she reached exhaustion.  Grandma Mike and Aunt Kim drove up from Houston on Saturday and took Lexi back to the hotel for a sleep over once she was too tuckered out to dance.  It was a great weekend celebrating Uncle Daniel and Aunt Kristi! *I will post pictures later once we get some from the newlyweds!

So many things are happening right now...life is amazing!  This SATURDAY we will officially welcome Ms. Kristi King into our family!  Lexi is practicing this week being a "flower girl princess."  She is excited about her dress, her headband, her wand, dancing, etc., BUT I'm not quite sure what she will think about all the people turned to watch her walk down the aisle.  We'll see what happens!  Regardless of what happens with Lexi, Daniel and Kristi will be married and on cloud nine.  We are so happy for them and can't wait for their big day to get here so we can celebrate with them! On another note, Lexi is cracking us up on a daily basis.  I really need to be better about writing down the things she says.  I know I say this often... Here are some Lexi statements I can think of off the top of my head: 1. Tonight I tossed her PJs on the bed.  She said, "Don't throw things! You know better than that!" 2. Lexi went with me to take picture...
