BYU Boy

This picture was taken Saturday morning for Daddy. Jaden is getting to be such a big boy, he's 4 1/2 months old now!

KFC Adventure

Last week KFC offered a free piece of their new "Grilled chicken" so we decided to take a trip with the family to try the new chicken (since we are huge fans of the KFC original recipe). While we were waiting for our chicken their was a man in the corner, Pirate Bob, that was making balloon characters for kids. Fortunately for Lexie she was the only kid (besides Jaden) in the restaurant. She quickly made friends with Pirate Bob and scored herself 2 flower balloons with monkeys hangin on and a parrot on her shoulder to match Pirate Bob's. It was so cute I couldn't resist taking pictures.

Easter Sunday

So I finally got our video finished for Easter Sunday. Lexie had a great time finding the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid, and after church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Nelson's house for brunch. Hope everyone had a good Easter too!

Easter Weekend

We were able to spend last weekend with family...we spent the day with Stacie's family on Saturday, and then the Nelson side after church on Sunday. It's so fun to have family close and we really enjoy seeing everyone. I put together a video of our adventure with the Hadleys on Saturday, and I will post another one of Sunday's escapades soon.

Disney On Ice

We were able to get tickets to Disney On Ice last month, and I finally got around to putting it together in a video. Jaden got to spend the evening with Grammy, so we had a fun time with just Lexie. Grandma and Grandpa came along, and Lexie had a great time.

Putting this video together reminded me that we were watching the first part, when Mickey and the gang came out and everyone was cheering, and I literally had to stop recording it because there were so many people trying to find their seats and standing up right in front of us. I've never won an award for punctuality, but I try to be considerate of others if I arrive late. Sadly, this same group of people are the ones who are baffled by the complex and highly confusing "Section #, Row #, Seat #" on their tickets. Many of them had to stand back up and change seats because they were in the wrong place. I have no idea how they managed to arrive at the arena.

If six minutes of Disney On Ice isn't your cup of tea, at least watch the final minute. The finale of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell flying off amidst fireworks brought Lexie to her feet for a standing ovation, and when it was over, she threw in a little dance for no additional charge!

Lexie's first school picture

Lexie's preschool had class pictures the other day, and I wanted to post the picture. She was so excited about it that she wouldn't let me have it; I had to make a copy of it and give her "a special one just for her" that she keeps in her kitchen and shows off.

He speaks!

When Stacie got home from work yesterday, she was holding Jaden, and he was having a great time talking to his Mommy, smiling and gurgling like he does. I happened to record it, so I decided to post it here. Be warned! This is nearly four minutes of cute baby talk. If you have had your sweetness quotient met for today, this might put you over the top.

You have been warned.
