Big Girls!


Lexi and I had our 4 month and 2 year check-ups a couple of weeks ago (Mom is really on top of things as usual) so I thought I would update you on our growth.  As you can see from our stats we really are big girls!

Lexi:   25 3/4 inches (95%), 14 pounds(50-75%)
Kayla: 34 3/4 inches (75-90%), 29 pounds (75-90%)

Go Fly a Kite

Doing it all by myself!



Showing Mom how high Elmo can fly.

The Easter Bunny brought me an Elmo kite in my basket so we decided to take advantage of the windy weather (really, when is it not windy in Nebraska) and try it out.

Easter 2009

Dad helping me dye Easter eggs.  As you can see I started off with the proper utensil.

It wasn't working so great for me so I decided to go with my hand.

What a pretty pink egg . . .

. . . and a pretty pink hand to match it!  Thankfully the dye wore off before Sunday morning.

My first Easter egg hunt!

Forget the eggs, I found a sucker!

I think I've had two suckers in my entire life, but I knew exactly what to do with it as soon as Mom got it open.

Our friend Jorja came to visit us Saturday.  This was the best picture we could get with three girls under the age of three!

Easter egg hunt in the back yard with Jorja and Meredith!

There's no suckers out here - what a rip off!

The Easter Bunny found our house!

Of course I grabbed Lexi's first, but was redirected to the one with candy.

Cadbury egg for breakfast?  Sure, why not?  I can unwrap it all by myself now so there is no stopping me.  Plus, we were running late for church and I had to eat something.

YUM! I got halfway through and was done.  Mom and Dad were thankful for that.  I'm pretty hyper as it is and don't get much candy so they weren't sure the full effects an entire egg would have on me.

Lexi is so excited about her basket!

The Easter bunny thought he would help Mom and Dad out and that new Elmo underwear would make the potty more enticing. 

I'm super excited about my new big girl undies!  So excited that as soon as I got them on I peed in them!  Guess they will go in my dresser for a while!

Feeling each other out.  Neither one of us was going to make any sudden movements.

This is kind of nice!

The love is gone.
"No Lexi touch Kayla."

We had a great, but long and tiring Easter weekend.  It's so much fun for Mom and Dad to have two girls to share everything with now!  Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Fun Times!

Best Buddies

Trying out the jumperoo for the first time a couple of weeks ago

Kayla was wiping off my nose for me - what a great big sister!

This is pretty fun!

"Dad, I'm not sure about these sunglasses."

"Now I'm sure I hate them!"

Lexi's first time drinking from a bottle.  She did great!
 Mom wishes she would have tried earlier!


Playing together while Mom is fixing supper.


Here are some pictures from around the house the past couple of weeks.  Easter pics coming soon!

Kayla's 2nd Birthday

I tore into my presents first thing!

Our attempt at a family photo.  Hopefully it will get easier someday.

The Youngs (minus Kenton and Sally)

I loved my cake!


I don't know why, but I decided I wanted to eat Elmo's eye.  Aren't I attractive!  Mom and Dad are hoping I don't want to wear black lipstick for real some day.


Lexi decided she should just sleep since she couldn't eat cake or play with my presents.

I had to change into something more comfortable to test out my new wheels!

In full gear and ready to ride my bike!

Aunt Tricia pushing me and "Tricia" 


Apparently a girl can never have too many sunglasses.

Looks like Lexi loves being with Uncle Dan as much as I do!

Uncle Shane trying to teach me how to pedal

As you can imagine, Mom took a lot of pictures during my birthday weekend so here are just a few for you to enjoy!
