Little Miss Lexi

This week Lexi got her ears pierced! She looks sooo adorable, and I'm so glad we did it because I can see it in her face how much she loves it.


This week Jeff has been out for spring break so the other day we all went out for lunch. While we were eating out of the blue Lexi tells us she wants to go get her ears pierced, and Jeff and I were like, okay. We went to the mall and Lexi sat right up in the chair, picked out which ear rings she wanted and then not to long after that it was done. Lexi was so brave. I could see she was very nervous right as they were getting ready to shoot the earring in and she was being so brave and trying to hold still. Unfortunately there was only one worker working right then so they weren't able to pierce both ears at the same time. She was a little restless for the second ear and cried just a little bit, but the worker got in there and got it done quick.

Lexi loves having her earrings, she reminds me each day to clean them, and to be careful while taking off her shirt. The first few days after she often told me how brave she was.

Lexi has really opened up this year. I think having her in preschool has helped a lot. She use to be extremely shy, and would not talk to anybody. Now if somebody talks to her or asks her a question she will respond. She has lots of friends at preschool, and when she tells me about her friends she will list off every girls name in her preschool class. She is also such a good helper. She will pick up her toys so good, and then usually all the toys the boys are suppose to be picking up. She loves to help me whenever she can. The other day she told me that Spencer (our neighbor) was her boyfriend and that they were going to get married. Oh no, is it starting already? We sure do love this girl so much!

April Fools

Tanner really got into playing the jokes today. Here is one of the jokes that the kids played on us today.

Unrolling the toilet paper and mixing some of their cars in it is a pretty funny joke they thought. (Side note: the kids had been playing pirates so I let them use the kids markers to put mustaches on their face, and of Tanner got a little carried away). The day had several more little jokes that just made me laugh. I LOVE these little kids they are actually really creative.

Here is a rundown of their jokes.

Around lunch time Tanner said to me, "Mom I really want you to have cereal for lunch". I said no, I don't want cereal, I'm going to make sandwiches for us. He was really persistent for a few minutes, and then after me telling him no over and over he just dropped it. Then the kids got really busy playing pirates for a couple hours. A little while after Jeff got home from work. Tanner came up to us and told us we needed to come see the bathroom. "April Fools " Tanner and Lexi said laughing. A few minutes later Tanner said, "Dad do you want a bowl of cereal". Jeff said no I don't want any cereal. Then I thought oh Tanner was really wanting me to have some cereal earlier, and he probably has some trick for us. Tanner ran to the pantry and got the Honey Bunches of Oats out and gave it to Jeff. Jeff looked in the box and noticed a handful of Quaker Oh's laying on the top of the cereal. Tanner laughed as he told how you would get the wrong king of cereal when you were pouring yourself a bowl of cereal. (I actually thought this was a clever joke for a 5 year old).

Later when I was preparing dinner this was what I found in the freezer.

A BANANA. I know pretty random, but it still made me laugh.

That was it for our day of jokes, or so I thought, just this morning Tanner told me he also put a little bit of toilet paper in out bed.

Tell me about any of your pranks or pranks that got pulled on you.
