Summer finally

It finally has been warm to get Lex's pool out. He was so excited. He was jumping up and down as I was blowing up the pool.

We had so much fun. I forgot how cold the water is!

Of course Lex wanted to be naked. He started off with his swimming suit on but ended up pulling them off. It took me a lot of convincing to keep his swimming diaper on!

I am so glad he got in, even though it was ice cold.

When it was time to empty the pool, I had fun throwing buckets of water at him. He was running away from me, but I got him good.

I had so much fun and I can't wait to play in the pool again. Yay for summer!

Rides and more rides!

Rachel and I were feeling up to riding the crazy carnival rides yesterday. I guess I was feeling young. Little did I know I would get a headache and bad stomach ache afterwards. We went on the ring of fire. It is a rollercoaster that just goes around and around. I swear I was falling out of my seat!

We also went on the orbiter. That was the funnest one of the night. I was laughing the whole time. I guess I get that from my dad. I remember when we were little and I was afraid to go on rides, I would just hear him laughing the whole time. Now, I do it!

My mom and dad come to laugh at Rachel and I am sure.

Lex loves his grandma. Thanks for helping with Lex all the time so I can do fun things!

Playgroup

I had a playgroup with friends from high school. Kirsten was in town from Brazil so it was a must before she left. Her son Issac took this picture, not bad! Kirsten, Alison holding her son Bryson, Ashley holding her son Sam, and me with Lex.

I showed Ben this picture and he said all these kids from 4 moms?? Yup I think everyone is in this picture except Sam.

Lex, Bryson, Claire, Ezra, Abby, Noah, Kyle, Issac, and Livi. I hope I spelled their names right.

Lex had to be naked boy. It wasn't even hot outside. I guess he didn't feel like wearing clothes.

I love this picture. They are all playing in the puddle of muddy water!

Lex strutting his stuff!

Summerfest

This year I thought Lex was old enough to enjoy the rides that they had at the Summerfest. He was a little nervous but once Alyssa showed up, he was so brave and wanted to try everything.
His favorite by far, was the big slide they had. He wanted to go again and again.

He thought he could just cut in line. I had to teach him to wait his turn, that was hard!

He went on the train with Alyssa and Kelsey.

He didn't want to go on the boats, he just wanted to play in the water.

Overall it was fun and I am glad Charles showed up with the girls. When Jen gets here we will try Lagoon, I guess we'll see how that goes?????

Where's Lex?

I was looking for Lex and I couldn't find him.......................There he was, in the closet.
He is laying on my snoogle (it is like a body pillow). We call it his "nest". He loves to lay in it.

What a funny boy.

He hid from my mom the other day too, in her closet. ha ha.

Lex's findings

Lex's favorite thing to do now is play in the sink.
He will drag a chair from the kitchen table, put it up to the sink, climb up it and turn on the water and play in it. I think he thinks that he is helping me clean???? I think he is making more of a mess.

He loves helping his mommy.

Lex has also decided that he hates having his picture taken. Anytime I have the camera out he runs away or if I catch him by surprise he puts his hands up right when I am going to take the picture. It is driving me nuts. i would love to take a nice family picture but as you can see this will not be happening.

I love to bake and Jen gave me this super easy yummy lemon cake mix cookie recipe. Rachel loves it and asked me to make them for her specially. Mmmm good, as Lex would say.

Here is the newest addition to the Noble family. His name is Sean Zachary. Charles is so happy to have him. I love his hair color. What a cutie!

Ben took this picture of Lex. Ben calls him the "Hulk" Ben loved his stained green lips.

Yesterday we went to the movies and as we came out we saw this beautiful rainbow. I don't have a fancy camera to really capture how beautiful it was. It even was a full rainbow, not just half of one.
