Putting on the Jets

We went back to the QC for the Junior Bix this weekend. Lexi and Conner participated in their first Bix race with all their cousins.


Lexi enjoyed her race that she ran with Mom, Grandma Phyllis, and cousin Laini. What she actually enjoyed was stopping and waving at the crowd during the short road race, which meant she came in last, but was still proud to display her medal.








Lexi also watched Conner do his diaper crawl with a combination of people. Even Grandma Phyllis was brave enough to put Lexi on her shoulders, which made mom really nervous.









Grandma Deb helped Mom with Conner's first athletic competition, the diaper dash. She held Conner while I stood on the other side of the carpet and encouraged him to crawl. He was a little shell shocked at first due to the noise, but once he got started, he did great. He even made the news, which you can see in the clip below!

Crazy Hair

We get stopped all the time to receive comments about Lexi's hair. Most are positive, some offer advice, and some just stare in amazement. So, we thought we would share what we do every morning to tame the hair to the best of our ability.

Step 1: This is what it usually looks like in the morning

















Step 2: We start by combing her hair until it looks like the best 80's hairdo...too bad only the clothing styles have come back in and not the huge hair!


















Step 3: Wet the hair. We then douse the hair with water until it is pretty soaking wet.



















Step 4: We then put in leave in conditioner and scrunch the hair. Then, Lexi picks out the bow (with color suggestions from mom), and we place that in to add another dimension.

Cool Off

Conner is crawling into everything these days and doing whatever he can to get into trouble! His current obsession, the fridge, which you can't really blame him with all the hot weather lately!
