Shame on me!

I have so much to update on my blog. I need to update my header, as my children are both so much different now than they were in those pictures. Also, we've had new family pics taken and I need to put that into there. I also have so many things to blog about. I am seriously behind. That being said, I have not been able to motivate myself to sit down and just do it! I suppose it's a bit overwhelming to look at it as a whole, since it is actually going to be broken down into several different posts. Just one at a time. Maybe I'll eventually get all caught up.
This post has been a long time coming. The first weekend in June, Scott and I took Lincoln to Austin to Star Wars in Concert. My sister Mitsi and her husband Josh met us and went tot he concert with us. Thanks to Nana (my mom) for getting the tickets for early birthday gifts for the boys (who all 3 have birthdays in August)! We had sooo much fun- especially our little Star Wars fanatic Lincoln!

On the trip down, he was so excited to have Mom and Dad to himself for the weekend.

OF COURSE we had to stop at the Capitol. Lincoln absolutely loves this place and Scott had never been before!

Lincoln enjoyed chasing (aka torturing) the squirrels around the Capitol. I just love this picture!

Here he is with the real R2D2 (and the lower half of C3PO)! There were lots of costumes and real items from the movies. Lincoln loved it!

My boy was happy to see Tia and Josh.

The show was so cool!

There was a live orchestra playing, but at times I forgot it wasn't just the soundtrack of the movie playing over a sound system because they were SO GOOD! It was a great show even for non-fanatics like myself and my dear sister. The show was broken down into categories (some by character, others by time periods or relationships) so it was easy to follow the whole story. It covered all 6 of the Star Wars episodes. The man who played C3PO in the movies was the host/narrator for the evening. That was pretty fun too.
More posts to come!

Happy Birthday, Lexi!

My baby girl is TWO YEARS OLD! I simply cannot believe it. The past two years have just flown by. Lexi has so much energy and has such a personality! She is one of the funniest people I have ever known.

• She is moody these days, but what 2-yr-old isn't?
• She is speaking well, in clear sentences most of the time.
• She is all girl; loves dolls, brushing her hair, wearing bows, having her toenails painted, wearing jewelry, and playing dress-up. She LOVES wearing other people's shoes.
• She adores her brother and wants to do EVERYTHING he does, exactly the way he does it.
• She loves her Daddy and gets so excited when he gets home from work every day. She loves to go visit him at work and will run to him as fast as she can and then just melts in his arms.
• When she's sick, she wants Mommy.
• She eats well with a fork and does NOT want ANY help when it comes to eating.
• She loves The Fresh Beat Band, The Backyardigans, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, and most recently, The Little Mermaid.
• She can (and has been able to for a while) count to 12 (random, I know) and say her ABCs. She also sings Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, Jesus Loves the Little Children, Happy Birthday, and most of the songs on my iPod and her VeggieTales CDs.
• She loves to swim. She's absolutely fearless of the water. Thank goodness for puddle jumpers, which allow her to swim without any help from ANYONE (Heaven forbid!). Seriously- it's the greatest floatie ever.
