"Hokey"

That's how Alexis says hockey, and for her birthday Derek and I took her to see the London Knights. Derek was fortunate enough to get tickets for us through his work so we were able to sit in the companies box (ummm winning! haha!). I figured this would be the best scenario for everyone since she would be contained, you can see everything from there, and if she got restless then she can wander around the box without us chasing behind her!

Needless to say ... she loved it, and we managed to be able to stay somewhere between the 3rd period when her mood turned sour.

And of course because she was turning the big 2 ... it was only fitting for her to sit in that seat!

We had fun this day, and I think Alexis did too!

You Do What?

While my daughter naps and I've cleaned up the house and all that fun stuff ... I enjoy crafting. I've made a small little area in our basement that houses all of my crafty "stuff". I like to come down here and just make whatever up. Today this is what I made ...

Um please excuse the horrid pictures - but they were the only way I could really show the headbands.

and this is what my daughter did while I was crafting ...

In her bed of course ... I took this picture just before I carried her limp body to bed.

 So what have you guys been up too?

Appropriate?

I'm not sure if this is "appropriate blogging material" but as I was sorting and organizing all the loot Alexis received from her birthday and opened one of the "big girl" items she got from her cousin Connor (who's really her 2nd cousin? I think? ugh whatever you get the point) I immediately said out loud "these are the cutest things ever!"

Seriously can little girl "delicate's" get any cuter? and look how teeny tiny they are!

You're probably wondering how many pictures one person can take of underwear right?

Alright, I'm done now lol.

Well Lookie Lookie.

I went around the house today to water my indoor plants while Alexis napped, and look what I found when I popped open our little veggie plants ...

These our our tomato plants which have seemed to grow crazy this past week! I should have taken a picture of what they looked like this past weekend, because I moved them Saturday before the party and I'm not kidding when I say they were half the size!

So I'm not really sure what I do with them now. I'm so use to growing them in the little cups that you can buy, and in them they grow straight. Rest assured I will be googling tonight to see what to do.

But what the heck has happened to our peppers?

I know they ARE growing, but I guess they take more time then the tomatoes.  Oh well. So this is the progress so far on our little veggie garden adventure!

Did you plant anything yet?

Happy 2nd Birthday Alexis. [Part One]

Alexis' birthday was a huge success! She was incredibly spoiled by her friends and family. Here are some pictures that I managed to snap before the party, and my mom/sister also snapped a couple.  Thank you to everyone who helped out that day with food and preparations (Ash & Mom) and to her family and friends and all their generous gifts! She is surely set for clothes for the summer and toys to play with!

Birthday party pictures will be up tonight! Just saying ...
