Lexi's birthday and beyond

We took the kids disc golfing.


 Pat and Vaughn came to visit us from California!!
 Pat has been a major part of my life since I was about 4. I love her so much!!
 The birthday cake I made Lexi. My plan was to use different colors and incorporate flowers. I asked Lexi her opinion and she came up with this idea. It was a first for me, letting her help. It was a great time and she loved her cake, so I was happy.
 Lexi's slumber party! I made the girls chocolate covered strawberries. Some with pink sprinkles and some with nuts. She was in Heaven!!


 Waiting on her friends to arrive!
 The girls gave each other make overs. We did pedicures and manicures, too.


 Present time!
 I sewed 8 bags and let the girls decorate with buttons and paint. They turned out so cute!
 Thanks to grandpa and grandma for Lexi's outfit and matching one for her doll Lilly, too.
 Using her birthday money (thanks Endo family!!), Lexi bought her first pet. A gerbil she named Austin.
 As a last summer family outing before school began, we headed to the coast.





 Flying kites


 Kyler's friend joined us.
 Happy birthday Lexi!! And first day of 2nd grade!!
 Kyler's first day of 5th grade!! Last year in elementary school, wow!!



 Jared, Ari and I visited Lexi's class to bring birthday treats. She was so happy!

 I decided to try my hand at a fall wreath. My first ever attempt.

 Kyler's first soccer game--The Chimeras


 Lexi and her friend Khloe.

 Kyler played very well, their first game was a victory!
 Lexi's first EVER game! The Pixies.
 Apparently it's boring to Kyler and Ari watching Lexi warm up. Kyler is nearly asleep and Ari is wearing Kyler's shoes, sitting on a ball, with an orange in her mouth.
 Lexi played SO well!! She is a natural athlete.


Summer is over. School is back in session. The kids were fortunate enough to get their picks on teachers--we know it's going to be another great year!
Thanks to those who remembered Lexi's birthday, it means a lot to her, and to us!
And now we have less than a month before Ari is 2, wow!
