Ooh La La!

It’s hard to believe my Lexi Lou just turned 5! We are so blessed to have her in our family! She is such a smart girl and has come a long way in 5 years. She can count to 100, has begun reading, spends tons of time drawing and coloring, is a girly girl (likes to have her hair done, nails polished and wear a dress), loves preschool, loves her brother, and is the sassiest girl ever!

(we’re working on that one.)

Lexi said that she wanted to have a Fancy Nancy Party months ago and we’ve been planning ever since. I must say that the party was spectacular and we had a fabulous time!

The fancy invites!

making their purses spectacular!

Fancy Nancy sent the girls on an accessory scavenger hunt. The girls had fun finding, sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets and nail decals.


A girl can never have too many accessories!

Clint was the Maitred' (that's a fancy word for waiter). He served the girls their parfaits. Each of the girls loved putting their own toppings on their parfait and making it very fancy!

sorry about the million pictures. they're mostly for mom's to see! =)

Happy 6 years!

Clint and I celebrated our anniversary on Friday. We have been married 6 years! It's crazy how fast the time has gone by. We have been through many things together and are excited to see what the next many years bring us! Clint planned on surprising me by taking me horseback riding for my first time. On Thurs. he decided he should probably tell me so I didn't end up wearing heels on our date. We had a lot of fun! The horse I rode, Mystery, was a female and a little touchy. At first, she didn't even want to let me on her which made me a little nervous. It all worked out though and she was fine. Clint rode "Misfit" and he was a beautiful horse. We rode up in the superstitions and the view was beautiful .

In keeping with the theme, we went to a restaurant called The Mining Camp Restaurant (recommended by my father-in-law). Clint and I walked in and couldn't stop laughing because it was completely different than we had expected (But completely Chris' style all the way). It was family style seating and the dishes were all tin. Let's just say it wasn't the most romantic dinner, but definitely one we'll remember! We finally finished the night by watching Australia, sticking with the cowboy theme. Thanks for planning a fun night babe! Happy Anniversary!

Hole in the Rock

On Saturday we decided to go on a family hike to Papago Park. It's really more like a walk, but perfect for the kids. We were reminiscing about last time we did this and remembered how long ago it was. I found some pictures and Lexi was so young!

Caden was so excited and Lexi was surprisingly a little hesitant. While we were parking the car Lexi said, "I'm scared." Caden proceeded to tell her, "Don't be scared Lexi. There's no monsters up there." It was so cute! And he was right! As soon as we started walking they thought it was so fun and loved looking down over the city from the "hole in the rock".
