Last week Lexie and I went to visit my parents in Sioux Falls. We had a lot of fun! Lexie was pretty difficult on the flight there, but was a lot better on the way home. We even got to sit in First Class on the way home, so that was nice and cozy.

Lexie was kind of ornery while we were out there. Can you tell it's bedtime??

Lexie absolutely loves stuffed animals. She picks them up and hugs them, and then carries them around the house. We went to visit my dad at work, and one of the ladies he works with gave Lexie this little dog.

Bianca, Ava, and Joseph all have scooters. Here's my brother helping Lexie ride one of them. We weren't quite sure what she thought of it at first, but she cried when we tried to get her off it so I'm pretty sure she liked it!

Jessica took us all to the splash park on Thursday and Friday. It was a lot of fun!

Here's little Miss Ava...

...and Joseph...I thought I had a picture of Bianca, but I must not have gotten one.

Lexie sure is very independent. She's fine not being by me, she just goes off and does her own thing. She was even a good sport about getting wet!

Here are Ava and Lexie in their matching outfits their Grandma got for them. Bianca is behind them with a ball in her shirt...They are expecting a new baby sister any day now!

Ava was so good at playing with Lexie. She was very good at sharing, and Lexie just loved to follow her around everywhere!

All the kids had fun taking turns trying to get Lexie to laugh. They each would hide in a doorway and we would send Lexie walking down the hallway and they would jump out and say BOO, and she would scream and fall down and laugh. It was so funny to watch!

Thanks everyone! We had a great time!
