Luke's Birthday party/Baseball

Saturday was a busy day for the kids. It started with a friends birthday party, Luke. Luke's little brother Jacob is in Lexie's class, so she enjoyed playing with her friend too. Luke and Mitchell are two of Caleb's good friends but they are at different schools now so it makes it hard to see each other often. They had so much fun reuniting while running and jumping throughout the bounce houses. Then it was off to Caleb's baseball game. Just the end of March and it was already super hot outside. But that didn't keep the boys from enjoying the game. Super proud of our boys!

Caleb's baseball 2012

T-ball is starting up once again. Greg is helping coach his team which makes it more fun. Lexie was decked out in her baseball outfit to help support Bubba and his team during the opening ceremony . Caleb and Lex were being very sweet to each other. They are always so supportive of each other. Lex yells "good job Bubba" no matter what Caleb's doing on the field. This year the kids get 3 attempts at coach pitching before hitting off the T if needed. It definitely makes it more exciting, and Caleb loves it. It's going to be a good season.

Daddy Daughter Dance

Tonight Greg and Lexie attended their first Daddy daughter dance. The theme was Beauty and the Beast and the girls were supposed to dress as their favorite princess. I had Lex help me order one a few weeks ago, and she was very particular about having a purple dress like Tangle. I would show her different colors and she would adamantly refuse. She already knows her own mind. She was so excited when I put curlers in her hair to get her ready for the dance. Too bad it rained all day so her curls quickly faded. But we had fun getting ready. She looked so precious and was definitely the most beautiful princess I have seen. (I might be a little partial.) Greg took some cute pictures of them on the dance floor. He said they only sat out 2 songs. Lex loves to dance. When they returned home, Lex ran into my arms to tell me how they danced and she was a princess!

I love it!

Lexie at 2yo

Lexie has really started speaking more clearly lately. It's nice to be able to have some conversations with her. She throws less tantrums these days and I'm sure it's because are communication has improved. Though she continues to be rather bossy. Today I apparently wasn't giving her the attention she needed because she came over and grabbed my face and said "You want to go to time out?" She often demands for us to tell her "Yes Ma'am". She even told Hehe (aunt Brooke) "that's enough" when she told her it was time for bed. It is just very hard to redirect a two year old. Especially when she can be so sweet a second later saying "ok Mommy". She's good at manipulation already.
