A spontanous visit to Mt. Rainer

As we were driving from Morton to Mineral Lake for fishing on Saturday morning, Lexie fell asleep in the car. Travis and I knew she needed a nice nap and thought about extending our drive a bit to help her sleep. Well as we kept going we decided to just take a brief trip to Mt Rainer. It was such a beautiful day and we had never been together. We went all the way up to Paradise and got to look around. I couldn't believe how much snow they still had! As you can see, our girl woke up and lost a shoe! I didn't realize the missing shoe until after all of the pictures were taken (a kind tourist pointed it out.) This shoe was later recovered, unlike several hundred socks recently. She had a blast checking it all out.

Baby Lexie's Dedication

Exhausted from an exciting morning!


On Sunday, we gave Lexie to Jesus, during a baby dedication at our church service. It was a special time for all of us. Here is the life verse we chose for her:

"You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalm 73, verse 24-26.

We thought this was a sweet, simple, and encouraging verse to remind us all that the things of this world are just that. And that there is a much greater reward for us in heaven and with our heavenly father. We pray that Lexie will continue to seek God for counsel and strength throughout her life.
Lexie was great during the dedication, she was entertained by the above ceiling fans and lights. We were blessed to have some family present as well; Grandma Neicy, Nana Shar, Nana & Papa B, Uncle Cris & Aunt Rachel, along with Maggie and Buddy were all there! Afterward we all enjoyed lunch together.

Weekend Fun

Saturday we had 2 thing on our to-do list.
1) Go to The Puyallup Spring Fair with Jason, Aimee, and Baby Reese
2) Buy plants and get them potted for free at the Top Foods sale.
Well, due to SNOW and the cold weather, both things got canceled. We were so sad about the fair because Travis has promised to educate us all on the farm animals, also he wanted to the Northwest Jr Livestock show that he used to be apart of when he was a kiddo. I guess we will have to wait till Fall.
However, we did have a fun laid back time laying around the house and playing with our girl.



So this is what my daddy is always doing...


All mine now....

Dinner with The Mullendore's

We had Tyrel, Susan, and Grayson over for dinner. Tyrel is Travis's cousin, both he and his wife Susan went to CWU with us. Their son Grayson is 11 months old and huge! He is 30lbs and super tall. Grayson is so much fun to watch, he is already walking and so curious! Lexie was enjoying watching him. Grayson and Lexie both seem to love this toy basketball that we have, since they both have tall parents, we are hoping it is a sport they play someday : )
We had a great time catching up with them and hope to see more of them in the near future.

Lions, Tigers, and ....The Brock's

This week we were blessed by spending sometime with our friends The Oord's. They came to visit us on Spring Break, all the way from Spokane. We have been friends with them since we lived in Yakima (they were our neighbors and Trav and Ed worked together.) Ed and Jennifer came with their son Keith and Korean exchange student, Rachel.
We spent a lot of time catching up at our house and on Tuesday ventured to the Point Defience Zoo. Lexie did great. She loved the fish, sharks, and monkeys. Keith was such a huge help with her, he was always patent, she just loved him. We had so much fun with them, and look forward to seeing them on their turf for Bloomsday in May.
Here are some pictures of the zoo and of Lexie playing with the kiddos.

Happy Birthday Uncle Chris!

Uncle Chris is getting old and we all celebrated it on March 30th. (His real birthday is on April fools day.) We had a great time hanging out with the family as well as his girlfriend Britnee, who was in town from college. Lexie enjoyed rolling around on my parent's new carpet. They recently moved to a new house and it is beautiful! Chris is a great uncle to Lexie and we hope he had a special Birthday!
