Jace's Swim Attire

Jace was attempting to hug Lexi for this picture,

but it looks more like Lexi is in a headlock

Lexi 15 months

Well, for the past 2 days Jace has been enjoying

the hot weather by playing in his pool and

water table. The only problem is that he

refuses to wear his swim trunks. So he's

been running around in the buff all day in our

backyard. Our neighbors probably think we're

wierdos. Matt did make some progress with

Jace last night, though. He was able to get

Jace to swim in his undies. Today he swam in

his undies for a little bit, but then it was back

to playing in the buff. What are we

going to do if we try to go to a water park?

Shakin' it

School's Out!

School's out! School's out! Teacher let the monkeys out!

Jace finished his last day of preschool yesterday.
They ended the year with a party and pinata.
Each kid got to take a swing at it with a yard stick
(which was pretty comical to watch).
Of course, no one broke it, so the teacher ended
up smashing it and then it was every kid for himself :)
20 kids tackling each other for candy.
I forgot my camera, as usual, so I didn't get any
pics of Jace's last day, but here's a few pics from the last couple of weeks...

We are cool

Lexi walks in "real" shoes for the first time.

She is fascinated by the lights on them.

Happy Birthday to Daddy!

Matt snuck up on us and took a pic of Jace and I napping.

I didn't know that Jace fell asleep like that on my leg.

Matt survived another birthday. The big "32."

Jace and I made him a cake and attempted to sing,

but Jace was only interested in blowing out the candles.

Cheese!

Lexi jammin' on her headphones

Lexi is now 14 months and has officially graduated into
her new big girl carseat. She is liking this much
better now that she can see all the action
(and watch movies with Jace).

Loves playing with the box of wipes

EXCITING NEWS!

Just wanted to share the news that we made an offer on a house and it was accepted, so if all goes well, we should be moving into our final destination in about a month! We'll keep you posted.

I'm a little behind on pictures, so here are some from Grandpa Tom and Aunt Lisa's visit and Easter. Enjoy!

We spent the day at Fort Knox to see the army base and museum.

Jace loved the tanks



We liked the caption on this tank :)

Swinging at the park on the army base.

The parks there were awesome!

Guess our tax dollars are getting put to good use :)

Lexi was so excited about her Easter basket

Jace just wanted to eat all his candy

Are you going to feed me?

Cool Chick

Moving, Parties and Walking

I think we're finally adjusting to a new home after spending a week unpacking and putting away boxes. Jace and Lexi seem to be doing fine with their new bedrooms. Lexi is so close to walking. She takes about 5 or 6 steps before she wipes out, but she gets right back up for more. What a trooper! Cousin Jacob turned 3 on Saturday, and we all hung out at the Cromwell crib for some food, cake, presents, easter egg hunting, and bounce time. The weather was perfect.

The great easter egg hunt

Happy Birthday to Jacob!

Blow em' out boy!

MORE BIRTHDAY FUN!

Last weekend Jace and Lexi had their "official"

birthday parties with family and friends. All the

pictures are out of order, but you get the idea.

Thanks to everyone that came. We had a great time!

Jace was very excited about his "Cars"

cake and getting to blow out the candle

Papa Dave holding Lexi's cake. Lexi wanted nothing to do

with her cake. She cried the entire time, so we didn't get any pics :-(

(now that I'm looking at the princess hat,

it kinda looks like a dunce cap)

Making silly faces

Lately, Lexi has been wanting to wear hats and

sunglasses. She's one cool chick!
