Lexie is at the stage where she points out everything about people whether it's size, color or gender. She will ask questions like "what color is that man?" To which I reply "he is brown. God made everyone all different beautiful colors". While at the home show she pointed out a lady who was wearing a silly stick on mustache "Mom, what's wrong with her!"
We have been making lots of trips to Home Depot and Lowe's lately. We are finding out who has the best prices and getting ideas for flooring. I think we have it figured out what we want.
We should be closing on our house on Friday! I'm praying for no more hiccups!
My parents' flights are booked to come visit for two weeks! We plan to get allot done with the house, but also have lots of fun. We booked a fishing charter for the guys in Valdez while us girls do some other fun stuff.
Puppies are now 4 weeks old and growing so fast! They are so stinking cute, but 11 little puppies can be kind of overwhelming. I am sooooo glad that I make my own cleaner as I am using tons of it! I don't want the house to start stinking.
To add to our animal population we added 6 baby chicks. We know once we get in the house we want chickens, but come the middle of summer chicks won't be for sale. Andrew decided we should go check out what they have which turned into buying them now. I think it will work out. For now they are in the house where we can watch them. After a week or so they will be moving to the garage. 
Lance is getting so good at all his letters. Here is a picture of him teaching Lexie by writing the letters on the chalkboards. 
We have lots planned for this summer! I am super excited. We will be flying to Pennsylvania in July to stay at some cabins with all the Conway family. I have been researching things to do in the area that will be fun for the family. After visiting with the Conways for a few days Andrew will be flying home to Alaska while the kids and I take a small road trip to Missouri. We will be stopping at a few places along the way. One stop on my list is the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati then we will head to Louisville Kentucky to stay with some friends for a day or two.
The days are getting longer here! It is now bright out till around 9 pm. Each week the temperatures have risen and the snow is melting crazy fast.
We can't wait to start work on the house, do lots of fishing, hunting and camping trips!!!
God is so good to our family. I am so thankful for all the wonderful blessings he has given to us and especially our health!!
Some funnies from the kids:
I asked the kids if they wanted to eat out tonight with daddy. Lexie says "you mean eat dinner outside!!"
During our bed time prayers Lance says "God, please let us go to Missouri soon!"
Lances said to me "you know what flowers are for?" "To make the world look beautiful!"
Driving in the car when Lance says "boys are smarter than girls!" I say "why do you think that? Mom is pretty smart!" Lance says "I just know because I'm a boy and Boys are smarter!"
Saturday morning we were earing breakfast and we had ham and eggs. Lance asked what part of the pig ham came from. Andrew told him it came from the butt. Lance then puts his piece of ham back and says "why do I have to eat the butt!" Andrew hands him a different piece of ham and told him it was the leg. Lance was okay with that.
After church I was asking the kids what songs they sang in church. Lance says "you know that one song about God" I asked "sing it for me. I want to hear it" he then sings "you are, you are the Messiah. The Son of the lily pad!" I think it's supposed to say Son of the Living God
Lexie was super upset because I had gotten on to her. While crying she comes up to me and says, "mom are you mad at me?" I said "no, you just have to be a nice girl!" She then says "are you jealous at me?"
