Week 15

Alexis had her 2nd soccer game of the season and oh my goodness!! I am not sure where it came from but that girl started to be aggressive and go after the ball. Cory and I were speechless. Where did this girl come from? She was a rockstar and almost scored a goal even! We were so proud of her for trying so hard.

We painted baby girls nursery! It's a super light pink color called Sacred. I love it! I can't wait to start getting her nursery put together, it's becoming so real that we'll have another baby soon! I'm getting super excited to meet her, but also want to enjoy every last minute of being pregnant where I can keep her all to myself. =)

Alexis received this Frozen game for Christmas and it's a mix between shoots and ladders and candy land. The kids played it over and over again for a whole hour and they were such good sports with each other. They were cheering each other on and being happy for the one who won, that never happens! (and Paxton is back into wanting to be Captain America everyday and this costume never comes off.)

Paxton has been begging me for months to make and decorate cookies. I finally gave in. Him and I made the cookies and baked them while Alexis was in school. Then after she got home we all decorated them together. After lots of frosting and sprinkle fun, the kids ran off to play and left me with a huge mess in the kitchen. Sigh. 

Week 41

Alexis had Laps for Learning at school this week. It's a school fundraiser that raises money for new books and computers. The kids get sponsers and have to run laps. Alexis ran 2 full laps (a whole mile!) That was all they allowed the Kinder's to run. She did awesome! Who knew we had such a great little runner? It was a freezing cold morning but Pax and I headed over to cheer her on.

Alexis had her last soccer for this Fall season. After the game the kids got trophies to remember this wonderful season. 

Week 38

It was spirit week at school and each day the kids had to dress up to fit the theme. Some days were pretty easy- like PJ day and other's were much more fun! Here's a few pictures of TWIN day!! Alexis wanted to dress like her friend Quinn and Quinn's mom made these gorgeous dresses for the girls. They were so cute!!

My other favorite spirit day was WINDSOR day! It's the high schools big homecoming football game and the whole town dresses in the Windsor colors. FUN!!

(don't mind our extremely messy garage in the background! ha!)

I was loving the golden light at Alexis' soccer practice and I was so happy that I brought my camera along. I love these photos of Pax.

Alexis "clipped" all the way to the very top on the behavior chart today. She was so excited and we were so proud of her. We took her out for some ice-cream to celebrate!

We were running early one morning (which hardly ever happens!) and I let Pax play outside for a few minutes before having to take him to soccer practice. The morning light was pretty and I had fun playing too! =)

Paxton's Soccer practice! Only one more week to go. He has loved it every week until this week. He told me soccer is boring and he wants to play basketball. So basketball, here we come!

My husband plays in an adult softball league. He loves it. I was happy I brought my camera out to one of his games to try and sneak a picture of him playing. 

Another soccer game for Alexis, but this time SHE SCORED HER FIRST GOAL!!!!!! We were so excited for her and she was pretty proud of herself.

(a horrible picture, but here she is running to give me a hug after her goal!)

Week 37

Her first ever HOMEWORK assignment! She was so excited about it, ha! She could barely eat her lunch because she just wanted to get started. I hope this enthusiasm for homework stays forever! =)

Another soccer game. Cory keeps trying to convince me to not bring my camera to just ONE game, and just enjoy the moment. Maybe I will try that next week….. we'll see.
