Supergirl

Alexa got to dress up for preschool today. She looked so cute in her messy buns and glittered face. I don't know why she is standing with one leg popped and her hands out but....LOL. Maybe she learned that at dance class.

Pinenuts, take two...

Ken was out of town this weekend and I decided it was our last chance to go get pinenuts. I invited Mindy, who's hubby was also gone and whom had never been pinenut picking before, to go with me. We loaded up 2 vehicles with children, food and a set of directions. We headed North and over past Eagle Valley. I love the area out there so I took a few pictures. It was a beautiful day!And the lake was gorgeous! Tyler spotted an old cemetary so we stopped and looked around. It's all from the mid 1800's. Our goal was to find this particular "old cabin". If we found that (and the pinenuts, of course) we had followed the directions correctly. I'd say we drove for about 2 hours and after a few back tracking episodes, WE FOUND IT! Pretty good for a couple of non map reading moms! LOL. (And can i just say...monster pinenuts!?)

Baby Alexa

Alexa is so funny. Sunday the kids were tired of watching church movies so I pulled out the home movies that have been long forgotten. Alexa hasn't ever seen them so she was VERY excited to see (especially) herself as a baby. I keep hearing her call to me, "Mom! I'm SOOO cute!!!" And "I LOVE ME!!!" She watches them over and over again. And says the same thing over and over again. It cracks me up!

Pinenut picking?

We decided to go pinenut picking. It was a beautiful day Saturday! (finally!) We went South of town and didn't find a single pinenut! LOL. Thank heavens Cody got some when he went with Frehners the same day. We had a fun drive out in the hills in the jeep and Tyler even got to drive for a while. Good times!

Guinea pig babies

Cody's guinea pig had babies. 3 to be exact. They are very cute and super soft. Alexa loves to hold them. She waits till Cody has left for school then goes in and plays with them.

Tyler the Lynx

Tyler got permission to be the Lynx mascot for the last home game. He looked forward to it all day and looked like he had a good time while it lasted. He was very cute with Alexa. Way to broaden your horizons Ty!

Lexi's new dance class

Alexa just started dance class this week. She is taking class from Mindy Anderson. It is Jazz, tap and ballet and technique (or something like that). Lexa looked so cute walking in in her tiny tap shoes. When she got back i asked her, "did you learn how to tap?" she said, "no, I learned how to stomp!" Okey Dokey! That's a start, i guess. :) Anyway, hope she'll get over not doing gymnastics. She told me when I dropped her off that she didn't want to do cartwheels on the hard floor. Guess we'll have to have gymnastics hour here at home!

Broadway 2009

Here is my Broadway picture for this year. Our performance will be November 5,6,7,9. We have some great new people and Nancy isn't yelling at us near as much! Woo Hoo! If anyone wants to look at all the headshots, you can see them on my facebook account. Hope to see you all there and please spread the word thru LC!

Cody's guinea pig

Cody got a guinea pig for his birthday. Isn't it cute? He is still nameless at this point so if you want to suggest anything, Cody welcomes suggestions.
