Projects

So I decided on Sunday I didn't have enough going on (ya right) and needed to start two projects. hahaha not one but two at the same time. One of them is getting my yard picked up since it was a horrible mess with weeds everywhere. Well at least get the front yard done. The back would take a few months I am sure... its like a jungle back there. The second project was rearrange my kitchen with the help of my new hutch. So with both of those projects and Lexi the past couple days have been exhausting. but my kitchen is done and I really like it. The only problem is it takes longer to put away the dishes cause I keep trying to put them in their original spot. And the front yard is not done but looks so much better all ready. Next summer I am going to try to keep up on it. Who knows, maybe I will even plant some flowers!

Lexi seems to be feeling alot better. She was so good last night and slept for 6 hours. YAY! She loves being outside as long as she isn't in the sun. The sun seems to piss her off. But she likes to be in the shade and look around. New things to look at I am sure. She has been a pretty happy baby the past couple of days. I love when she smiles!

Weekend

So yesterday was a very long day. Jeremy worked until one. Once he went off work we went grocery shopping to stock up on some goodies. (yummy....) When we got done with that we loaded up the camper trailer to take to Heber for the winter. We then went to my mom and dad's house for dinner and to see my cousin Andy who is out from Iowa for a few days to try and find a job.

Dinner was great and it was nice to see my family. I got a few pictures of my dad with Lexi since I only had one. I need to get more of my mom with Lexi and of lyndsey with Lexi. I meant to last night but didn't. We got home late and we were all pretty tired.

Today I decided that I have no cupboard space and could really use a pantry (not that I can do anything about that) so instead after talking to my mom decided that I would go get a corner hutch cupboard thing. However corner ones are hard to find in my price range of cheap but durable. So instead I just went with a square one. Got it on clearance at Kmart because they are having a closing store everything must go sale. (perfect timing) Jeremy is putting it together for me right now. It is nice looking but doesn't really match my kitchen. But nothing really goes together in my kitchen so it works for us. One day I will have a really nice kitchen.....

I got a good pic of Lexi smiling today. I can't believe how big she is getting. And how fast she changes.

More Pictures

Since I am sure everyone wants to see more pictures than read hahah here are some of our family pics and Lexi's pics.

I think that is my favorite pic of her. But it so hard to tell; they are all way cute.

09-26-2008 Family Pictures

Sept. 26, 2008

On Sept 12 Jer, Lexi and I went to do family pictures. They were a lot of fun. We got done around 8:30 P.M. Afterwards we went and had pizza with Jeremy's brother TJ and his wife Bridgette. But we kept it short cause I was exhausted. I got the pictures in the mail today and they are so cute. I have to laugh though cause the lady who did our pictures spelled Lexi's name wrong. So I have to call her and have her send me a new DVD (her name is on the front) and a new CD with the pictures that have her name on it. Other than that they are all perfect. I kind of wish Jeremy had smiled with his teeth more often and I of course can pick myself to pieces but they are cute so I am happy.

Lexi is doing better today. She still seems to be tired but not like yesterday. Last night she got really mad about something and cried (more like screamed) for a good 15 minutes but we finally got her settled down and then put her to bed for the night. Sometimes I think she just gets really tired but doesn't know how to put herself to sleep or calm herself when she gets worked up.

Tonight I am going to go to a movie with my friend Lani. I am really exited. Jer is going to watch Lexi and hopefully she is a good girl for him. I am so glad he is a good dad and will watch her and let me go have some fun adult time. We love him.

09-25-2008 First Day

Sept. 25, 2008

Well this is the first day of my blog. I decided to create a blog because then others (such as my family in Iowa) can check on how Lexi and I are doing and see pictures. Plus its a way for me to remember all these great moments as well.

Alexis Jade Marsh is now 6 weeks and 2 days old. I think she might be getting a cold. She seems very tired and cranky today. She might have a tummy ache (she gets those alot) But she might just be tired, cause we have had a busy week. I can't wait until she can tell me what is wrong so I don't feel like I have no idea what I am doing.... Anyway, Lexi has started to smile when you talk to her. I love when she smiles. She loves to lay on the counter top while I empty or load the dishwasher. She also LOVES to lay on the dryer while it is running. Of course she is spoiled rotten and only lays there for about 10-15 minutes before she gets bored looking at things and wants me to pick up her. hahaha I am a sucker when she starts crying. However, one thing I have held my ground on is I make her sleep in her bed at night. This is easy now cause she can't do much about it but cry herself to sleep, but I am hoping she will get used to sleeping by herself and not want to sleep in our bed. For the past week she has been sleeping for about 5 hours straight when I put her to bed. Then after that only two hours at a time. But no complaining here. she is getting better and better. Yay!!

Tootsie has been pretty good about the whole situation. She gets a little needy but not like I expected her to. i can't wait until Lexi is big enough they can play. I know tootsie will love it!
