To Be a Good Big Sister...

You must...

Give your little sister lots of kisses

Teach her how to smile and wave to the camera

Keep her on a strict nap schedule

And remember to always show her how to have good oral hygiene

A Clue! A Clue!

Cause when we use our minds and take a step at a time,
We can do any THING... that we wanna do! 

We gotta find the last pawprint,
That's the third clue! We put it in our
notebook 'cause they're Blue's clues... who's
clues? Blue's clues!

Then we sit down in our thinking chair and think... think... thi-i-ink!

Playing with the Springmeier Boys

You cant see it in the video but she had 5 boys all sitting in a circle watching her play with a football! And to think, last time they were in town she was afraid of them. Didnt take much (a football) this time for her to warm up to them.

Who Needs Rachel Ray When You Have Alexis Joy

We got a package in the mail.. What could it be?

"A kitchen!!! Yay! But umm... why is it not put together?"

As much as Alexis was not pleased that she couldn't instantly play with her kitchen and that we had to put it together she thought it was so fun getting out the screw driver and putting the pieces together.

And wa-la its done! 

"Thanks Granny and Donnie. I love it! Come over anytime and I'll whip you up something wonderful!"
