Growing UP

Everybody's growing up, it seems...

The babies are now about 5 weeks old...

More like terrible two :)

Into everything!

But they still sleep like babies, too.

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my other baby... well, not so much a baby anymore. Just ask her :)

The Last Present

Lexi got one more present... And I'm not sure who was more excited- Lexi about getting it, or Grampa about giving it! He found a smokin' deal on a trampoline, so we all went in on it and got it for her. Here's how it started:
Then she thought she'd practice the limbo under the frame... And yes, it is dark outside while we're setting it up... Because some things just have to be done regardless of how dark it is getting, or how tired you are, or how many mosquitos are out :)

So here she is the next day - in the daylight - jumping around and being a monkey.

She is having SO much fun! Her goal now is to see how fast we can get home after work to jump on the tramp!

Good idea, Grampa!!

The New 'Do

This was totally spur of the moment... Lexi had vascillated between cutting her hair and letting it keep growing, but the latest I'd heard was that she wanted to see how long it could get. Then when we walked into Wal-mart, she saw the salon and decided she wanted to get it cut. So...

The Before shot:

The During shots:

Overall, I think we cut off about 8 inches!

And the finished product:

You should see all the curl she has in the back now- it's really cute!

She likes it a lot- much easier to manage, and less tangles!! She got her Big Girl School Haircut :)

Lexi's Birthday Pt 1

She waited patiently day after day for the BIG day to come...

And finally it arrived! Lexi is 5!! (Yes, this post is a little late :)

She excitedly dug into the piles of presents, and got everything she wanted :)

Birthday Pics Pt 2 to come next week after she has her bday party with friends... and stay tuned tomorrow for the New Haircut!

Wedding Pics Pt 1

Well here is my gorgeous bride of a sister... Took me a while to get some wedding pics up, but everyone else got some great shots so I was blog-watching for those :) Here are a few I snapped at the reception. The wedding was PERFECT-

Couldn't ask for more beautiful weather. The grounds at the Inverness made for a breathtaking backdrop. Everything went off without a hitch.

Here's Drew and my mom:

The fathers, no doubt discussing very important wedding matters... Nothing about cars, I'm sure ;)

Kari - pre-ceremony - in hair & make-up... It was a bit like a movie set!

Kari and Grandpa Luers- Love this picture!
