Sick Kitty Eye

This is my new favorite picture of Alexa.

I went in to get her out of her crib one morning a few weeks back, and she had sick kitty eye. (The term “sick kitty eye” came from my friend, Jamila, from Utah State. Credit where it’s due.) She wasn’t sick, at least she didn’t have the flu or a cold or anything like that, just sick kitty eye. The best part was that Alexa had the BIGGEST grin on her face, like she didn’t even notice that anything was wrong. It was great. I just had to take a picture.

Random Rocky

One of my coworkers sent me this random link yesterday. It took me a couple of goes to figure out what Judge Rocky is saying.



"You betrayed the law." I wish I spoke Russian so I could understand what Drago says back to him. All I hear is a growl/hiss.

Yummy Beets!

The day before we left Utah, we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Anderson. They were getting beets ready to be pickled. Alexa seemed interested, so we thought we'd let her try one. Personally I think they taste like dirt, but we thought she could decide for herself. She loved it as you can see from the pictures below!












Apparently she likes the taste of dirt.

No Internet

So, our friends that were letting us use their wireless MOVED!! Life is hard without internet. I guess we're going to have to take some long breaks from blogging, so don't feel too bad if we don't post new things for weeks at a time.
We're just going to have to find new neighbors to take advantage of. Hopefully it won't be too long.
So long for now...

Fun in Clifton

We got to go to Clifton this past weekend to spend time with the Mumfords. Alexa's cousins made sure she felt right at home.

Abram gave her pretend water.



Mitchell was very good at sharing the toys.



Max, Fielding, and McKay taught her how to play croquet.



And... she got to hang out with Aunt Moff!



We love the Mumfords!!!

Wheat and Beet Days

We got to enjoy Garland's annual Wheat and Beet Days last Saturday. We got to see a parade in the morning and fireworks at night.

At the parade with Uncle Dave, Aunt Melissa and Cousin Titus...
We got LOTS of candy!









At the fireworks...

Most babies will give you some sort of reaction when they see fireworks - not Alexa. She just stared at the first few and then lost interest. No fun!





Alexa loved playing with Titus and Kiyona. They are very nice to her.

Little Thief

Alexa is already starting to steal toys - poor Jake. Brad must have taught her that trick when I wasn't looking.
