what we've been up too lately

Yesterday, we went up to the 4th of July Kaysville Parade with the Goar family (Rich's friends from TX). Robbie was so excited about all the candy he was collecting off the streets and couldn't wait to try the big popcorn ball.
Rich and Lexie kicking back. I don't think she knows what to make of all the noise. She looks startled.
I love dressing Lexie up with all her cute accessories. I bought the Patriotic dress last year on sale before she was born and the little red shoes we got from a friend. I hope that she loves playing dress-up as much as I do one day.

You can tell I was pretty tired that day so Lexie and I decided to take a little nap. June has been a crazy month for us. First we celebrated my sister's wedding where Robbie was the ring bearer and Lexie was the flower girl. Then we celebrated Robbie's birthday with my family in town. Most of my pictures are on my sister's camera so I will have to post that later. June 21st-23rd the Laurels, leaders and I took off on a river run trip up in Jackson Hole which was a blast. Rich and Robbie went to TX that same week to visit grammy and scary grandpa as Robbie calls them. Rich also got to see Jesse & Kim and some high school friends. Lexie had a fun night at my sister's house until I returned home. The rest of the week was pretty lonely without Rich & Robbie, but it was a nice break and we were able to do some house projects.

Spring Madness

Yeah, spring is finally here and my tulips are popping up. We have been making a lot of changes around the house lately that it seems like forever since I last posted. Here is a little update of what we've been up to the last few months.

Robbie has started taking more interest in Lexie, now that she laughs and cackles and can sit up on her own. He decided that he wanted to give her a ride just like daddy does to him.He has taken a interest in her so much that sometimes he wants to be like her or he acts this way in hopes of getting more attention from me. He has even started eating vegetables again in baby food form and all of Lexie's little puffs for teething. He insists that his teeth are hurting and he needs them more.


We went to a few Easter egg hunts even though their was snow on the ground and Robbie had a blast. He was more excited about what was in his basket then meeting the Easter bunny. I could not get him to look up.
Lexie all bundled and waiting for the hunt to be over with so she can go back in the toasty car.Robbie anxiously waiting for the fireman truck alarm to go off.

Easter morning. Robbie was thrilled to finally be able to have his own egg carton. He loves to help mommy crack real eggs. I think he was disappointed when he found out they were made of marshmallows instead.
Yes, I know I am bad. I gave Lexie her first dose of sugar before she is one. How can you resist a face like that. She didn't eat the whole bunny. Daddy and Robbie stole some, but I'm sure she would have if given the opportunity.
Happy Easter!
Lexie doesn't seem to mind being on her stomach like Robbie. I wonder if she will crawl sooner, she has been rolling around a lot lately. Uh-oh sounds like trouble!
Robbie pulled the Tang out of the closet while I was in the shower because, he wanted a drink and though he could help himself. Well it ended up in a stomp fest with him and Weston dancing in the kitchen. I still have orange spots deep in my carpet that don't seem to want to come out.
His feet became permanently orange for a few days. I guess his bath water wouldn't cut it. I didn't realize that Tang is like a form of Kool-aid.
Lexie and I getting ready for church in our Spring clothes. Originally we though she might wear this for Carly's wedding, but I think she might outgrow it by then. We shall see.
Lexie laughing at her brother being silly.
Robbie doesn't ever really want to hold Lexie so it is hard to get a picture of the two of them together.

My little old man is trying on his ring bearer outfit for Carly's wedding. Now we just need to cut his hair. Whew.... sorry for the long update.

Eating time

Robbie when he was first learning to eat. It is amazing how much Robbie and Lexie look alike when they were babies.




So the other day I was feeding Lexie dinner and I went to my bedroom to give something to Rich real quick. When I came back to the kitchen Robbie had taken over the feeding for me. I was so surprised that he was doing this, normally he could careless what Lexie is doing as long as it doesn't interfere with him getting attention. He was so cute that I continued to let him feed her even though he was getting more on her chin then in her mouth.

Christmas in Idaho

This year we went up to Idaho to spend Christmas with Rich's family. It was fun to watch Robbie get excited to open his presents. He wasn't to thrilled about opening Lexie's presents since mostly she got clothes, but it was funny to see his cute little expressions. Christmas is always better with little kids anyway don't you agree?




Camden and Lexie hanging out. Can you believe he is 2 months younger and bigger than Lexie. He is a cute chubby baby.
Aunt Lindsay and I just happened to dress our kids in similar fashion on Christmas day and we did not plan it that way. We couldn't resist taking a few pictures when they came over to hang out with us.

Lexie being her little smiley self.
Lexie in her santa hat and dress. I have a feeling that she won't give me any problems taking lots of cute pictures.
The camera lighting was poor in this shot, but I thought she was cute in her little hoodie.
You can tell that Robbie was just thrilled to get another picture taken (lol). Oh well, one day I will catch his smile on camera.

Lexie will probably be a daddy's girl since Robbie is a mommy's boy right now.Grandpa Lee and Lexie exhausted from a long Christmas day.

My beautiful daughter

On November 1st my beautiful daughter Alexis Jaeden Muse was blessed by her Father Richard. I can't believe she has only been with us for a couple of months now. We are so blessed to have her in our family and I can't get enough of her cute giggles and smiles.

Lexie and mommy getting ready for church and her big day.

First we put Lexie in her tiny white tights with little ruffles on her bottom. Lexie in her white slip and her pretty smile!

The white flower seemed to overpower her head so we opted out and went to the next option.

We couldn't decide which accessory to put on her. The hat that is came with was too pioneer like although Rich and I had a good laugh with her in it. You can tell she was pretty scared about this one.

Finally we picked the simple white bow since her head it still too little.

Lexie all decked out and ready to be blessed.

She does have eyelashes and eyebrows, they are just very blonde. My precious little girl.

If only I could get both kids too look at the camera and hold still. One day I will get the shot.

Better Late than Never

I ended up getting this the day of Halloween at Children's Place for like 2 dollars so I couldn't resist dressing her up even though it is a little big on her.

My favorite part about Robbie's costume is his big claw feet that go over his shoes. Old Navy always has the cutest little costumes!

My first Halloween jammies/outfit.

The cute cousins Addie and Katie and Ethan below!

Okay, I am finally getting around to posting some Halloween pictures. Robbie was a dragon this year and Lexie was a flower. We drove up to Heber for Halloween this year to go trick or treating with the cousins. Robbie really enjoyed eating the candy out of his pumpkin this year. He didn't get a very good nap that day, so he was pretty tired and couldn't quite keep up with his cousins. Lexie was just content to sleep in mommy and daddy's arms. It was a fun night overall!
