How I know my child is truely my husbands daughter (as if there were any doubt)

Tim is really great with the girls...I really cannot compete I am just not as fun! There are some moments when Lexi does really goofy things and people just give me a funny look, but then I have to explain that Tim has created one of his goofy great games and that is how they play. One of the strangest is when they steal body parts from each other (noses, ears, the occasional limb) and eat them. They then determine if the part the other has stolen is worth wrestling over to get back or if it tastes good enough not to fake spit it out. Very strange I know...

so this weekend when Steve was here Lexi saw his tape measure and says "hey grandpa how bout my nose" Steve gives me a strange look and I have to explain that some times Tim will pull out the tape measure to measure her height...this eventually turns into measuring noses and ears...really kind of funny!

So this evening Lexi comes over and says
L: "Mommy my arm hurts!!"
M: "what is wrong with it"
L: "I don't know do you think we need to cut it off?"
M: "I am not sure Lexi how bad does it hurt?"
L: "hmm not sure but dad says only you or him can cut it off!"
Yet another fun game...Thanks honey, she has such a great imagination!

Super baby Kaylee

I am not sure what it is about Tim and I's kids...Maybe our genes are just so good that when combined we create super strong infants or maybe it's due to the fact that they stay in utero so long that by the time they are born they should already be a week or two old (the later is more likely :)) So when Lexi was first born the pediatrician was shocked when her came in for her first visit and Lexi could lift her head at a day old. When Kaylee came this was an expected thing...so it was not a shock that when I place her on my shoulder to burp her she starts looking to find Tim's voice. However on the day we left the hospital the hospital photographer came by to take her picture... during the last few poses she laid Kaylee on her stomach which she was not happy. She started screaming and then pushed her arms and rolled from her front to the back! I couldn't believe it, and the photographer was shocked too!

My best day ever

This weekend Tim's wonderful parents Tammy and Steve were in town. On Saturday Tammy took Lexi to chuck e cheese and then that evening we all went out to dinner. All day she had a blast and totally loved Chuck E Cheese! She has been asking to go back to Chucky's house...At the end of dinner on the way to the car she exclaims:
"This is my best day ever!" Thanks grandma and grandpa for making your trip so special!

Happy Balemtimes Day

Lexi: "happy Balemtimes day Lexi"
Lexi: "Thanks you too!"

New baby sister

Lexi has been very protective over her little sister. During any visiting she will usually say "don't touch her, she is my sister" but on the way to daycare Lexi says to me "Mom can I wake her up to play?" I reply "No Lexi Kaylee is so tired she needs to rest" she then huffs and says "mom my sister is boring!"

Pilot

So Lexi and I have recently been discussing what she wants to be when she grows up. Over the past few weeks when I have asked she said "I don't know" until the other evening when we were driving she stated:
"Hey mom when I grow up I want to be a pilot!" On our recent trip to Utah the flight attendant gave her a pair of pilot wings, this was a very exciting moment for her!
I replied to her
"that is great I think is a wonderful idea!" and Tim added "Where are you going to fly?"
She says "we are going to fly to grandma's house, and then I will fly you to work"
needless to say she is very pleased with her decision.
