Growing up

Lexie is doing wonderful counting. She can count to 20 now! Lately she has figured out what counting means though. I can place a few items in front of her and she will count how many there are. 

Lance is into pirates these days. He watched a Disney movie at our neighbors house called "Jake and the never land pirates" and is in love with it. We were playing blocks last night when he said "scurvy". I asked him what that was and he said "it's someone that the pirates have captured and they make do things." I said "like what?" He then said "you know, like fold laundry and stuff". I laughed then ask him if I was a scurvy. He said "No! Pirates aren't around anymore".  my little boy is too funny!

Less than one week till we move to Fairbanks!

We bought a set of bunk beds for the new house. We want to make sure that the kids have their new beds rite from the beginning in the new house. This past year the kids have been sleeping in our bed, since Andrew is always gone. We want to get them back into their own beds rite from the start. Lance has been wanting bunk beds for quite a while. Anytime we go to someone's house and they have bunk beds that is all I hear about. He is super excited about the new bed. We even went and picked out new bedding. He picked out dinosaur bedding and a triceratops night light. I'm hoping that Lexie won't be hard to move back to her own bed if she is on the bottom bunk in bubby's room. 

My sister was supposed to be arriving in the morning, but wasn't able to handle the stress of flying alone. 

I've been looking into gymnastics classes for Lance to start in Fairbanks. Also, we have been looking into preschools a couple days a week for him. I know this will help with the transition into kindergarten next year...... But,  we are also looking at other possibilities like homeschooling and a couple Christian schools. 

It's crazy to think that Lance is old enough to even be thinking of school!

Lexie is still my pretty princess! But this girl is wild about animals. She reminds me so much of me; She isn't afraid of a single one and begs to pet or ride each one she sees.

My kids have grown soooo fast and I have loved each stage of their little lives, but I can definitely say that I love this stage the best. I love exploring each new thing with them. I love their independence. I love that they still need mommy when they are tired or hurt. I love they are big enough to communicate everything they need, want or to  just having silly conversations. I love seeing bits and parts of Andrew & me in them! I love these little goobers God has blessed us with and who they are becoming! I'm sooo in love with them!
