Lexi

Lexi was reading her book when I checked on her in her bedroom. It was the cutest thing ever.
She loves her butterfly wings

My little peanut is getting so big.

The Lake

We went to the Lake Friday night and the kids had fun playing with Maverick and Izzy. Of course they drove Brad nuts when they kept messing with his little tree! Below are some of the pictures I got..finally got to play more with the new camera!

Hunter posing by the lake for me.
Lexi sitting in the chair and giving me this look like..mom not another picture.

Lexi loved Brad and Mel's bear and angel. She kept calling the angel "baby".

The Geese..I love the baby ones. Hunter kept trying to sneak up on them when they were on land because he wanted to pet them..they did not like that and fled to the water.

Izzy posing for me in the grass..she is so cute.

Maverick then wanted his picture taken, he sat down and said cheese.

Hunter's 4th Birthday

We had a small get toghether to celebrate Hunter's 4th Birthday on Saturday. My sister helped me decorate rice crispy treat Spiderman Heads. They actually turned out pretty cute (I was worried when I started to make them).

Emma (L) and Lexi kept wanting to sit in the same chair.

Lexi and Aubrie

Ok I wanted to post these because I know Aubrie has the same jammies and I think her and Lexi look kinda alike in these pictures. You can tell they are related. If you look at Emily's blog she has one of Aubrie on it with the same jammie..check it out.

Park Visit

Hunter and I decided to stop at the park in Oneida on our way home last night. We got to spend some Mommy and Me time alone because Dirk had Lexi. He loved it and he even let me get some pictures with my phone. Sorry they are not that great and they look crooked to me.

What a ham!!
He was still too little to do this himself so Mommy had to help several times.

He thought the bridge was pretty cool.

loved the slide too

His butt is still too little for the swing but he liked for me to push him high, although he kept stopping with his feet and it drove me nuts.

Papa's Birthday

It was Papa's birthday last week so we had dinner at his house. Since he never tells us what he wants the kids got him flowers for his flower pots outside. They even helped plant them. Here are some random pictures.

Lexi kept trying to get into the car.

Playtime

They loved playing at the park.
Lexi thinking she is big stuff up there

say cheese!

She was so cute looking through the window

Hunter was at Uncle Ben's games so Lexi drew on the driveway. She was so cute.

Helping Landscape

The kids were helping me landscape the front yard. They were such good helpers. We have planted 2 of the bushes and put some of the rocks down, but I don't have any pictures yet. Next step grass!!

Fun at Hy-Vee

Ok, I had no idea that Hy-Vee had these carts!! I am usually at Wal-Mart and just get the groceries while I'm there. The kids loved these! I will now shop at Hy-Vee for food. It will be nice to not have a 2 year old stomping on the food in the cart. I know I'm a dork but thought I would share this with you all. HaHa.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter day today. Hunter and Lexi loved their Easter baskets. We then had breakfast at our house with Tina, Emma, and Grandma Rebecca. The we got dressed up and went to church. Which they were both pretty good for most of it. Lexi didn't even scream when Pastor Tim blessed her during communion. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Swanson's house for the Johnson Family dinner. The kids are so cute together. I ended up taking Lexi home around 1pm so she could get a quick nap before we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house. Hunter stayed to do the Easter egg hunt at grandma's with daddy. Unfortunately when she woke up she had a 101 temp and we didn't end up going. Hunter got to go with Aunt Tina and Uncle Ryan though. All in all we had a great day! Hope everyone else did too.

Hunter and Lexi and I colored eggs this past week, they loved it!!

L to R (Hunter, Lexi, Addy, Morgan, and Caleb) We put all the kids on the couch to pose at the Johnson Easter. Morgan did not want to do this but it is a good picture anyway.

Our family picture at home before church. Hunter always makes the weirdest faces.

Lexi (before we put her pigtails in) with her hat on and Hunter making yet again a funny face.

NEW FLASH

Well for those of you who don't know it has been a very hard time getting Hunter to go poop in the big toilet! He got out of the bath last night and said he had to poop. I said ok get up there and try. He got up and down off the toilet messing around in the bathroom while I got Lexi dressed. Finally I said if you have to poop you need to sit on the toilet (I did not dress him or put the pull up on because once I did that he would have pooped his pants). About 5 minutes later I checked and he had ran back to the bathroom to sit down. Then he did it he finally pooped in the potty!! Lexi and I made such a big deal about it clapping and yelling "good job" and from Lexi "yeah bubba". I also kept telling him over and over all night how proud I was of him. Hopefully this encourges him and he keeps it up. Keep your fingers crossed!

Big Girl Bed

Lexi now has a big girl bed in her room too! We decided to put it up and see how she does with it tonight. Well it is now 8:53pm and she is sleeping in her crib. She is a really good sleeper (puts herself to sleep and sleeps over 8 hours) but tonight she cried and screamed she was not ready for the big girl bed yet. We are going to start with naptime and slowly get into the bed. She loves Tinerbell and thought she was hot stuff in it earlier today.

She had to put the Tinkerbell doll in the bed too.

The Amazing Spiderbaby

Lexi decided she wanted to try on Hunter's Spiderman costume. It was the funniest thing ever.

The amazing Spiderbaby!! I feel safer already.
Now she is back to being just plain Lexi.

Bathtime

Daddy was doing bathtime this time and he decided to give them devil horns (which of course they are perfect little angels) so I hurried and got the camera. They are very cute devils.

Potty Time

We are having a really hard time getting Hunter potty trained on going #2 in the big potty, he will go #1 but it is getting old of cleaning up the other messes. We keep telling him he is almost 4 and his sister will be completely potty trained before him. He hates that and then tries to go. So one day when he wouldn't go I put Lexi on the potty, she had said "yes" she wanted to sit on it. Of course once she was on it she cried! She finally stopped long enough when I gave her the My Little Ponies.

Lexi finally smiling thinking she is a big girl. After she tried the potty we left the bathroom. I was looking for her because she was quite and when I took this picture she gave me the look like "oh no I've been caught". Verry funny.

Playroom Playtime

Well the playroom walls are not painted yet but they don't care they play anyway. Here are some pictures of them enjoying the playroom. It is so nice not to have this in their rooms or the living room anymore!! They make such a mess in so little time!
