Family and One Year Old Pictures

We had family pictures and Lexi's one year old pictures taken about a month ago. I love them! We had to reschedule them one day because of the wind and the only day we could do them fell on Lexi's one year doctor appointment. So even with shots and no naps she did pretty good. Thanks Christina Palmer who did a fantastic job as always! There are so many I like that I am going to post a bunch!

The 24th of July

We had a really great 24th of July. All of my brothers and sisters came to my parents house. It was really a good time. We spent one day at the Thanksgiving Point Animal Farm. It is always fun to have all the grandkids together! They all have so much fun together. We spent the rest of our timing swimming. It was Lexi's first time in a pool and she absolutely loved it! We had a great time with great food, great fireworks and great company. We always have a fun time with family!

Lexi loved crawling for in the tubes at the farm.

Lexi's first horsey ride. She had mixed feelings.

They were exhausted after the farm.

Lexi loved playing with the big kids.

When we headed back to St. George Lexi fell asleep before we even backed out of my parents driveway

Thanks Mom and Dad for a great weekend!

Big Girl...

After much thought, we decided to put Lexi in a forward facing car seat.

She thinks she is quite big sitting forward!

Its pretty cute to see her sing along to the radio!

And who doesn't want to see this face in your rear view mirror?
