Still Waiting...

We are still waiting for our house to close. I am being told it should be this week, but we are having lots of fun while we are waiting.

Playing in the sprinklers.

Making homemade pizza.

Jumping on the trampoline.

Playing in the back yard.

And lots of swimming!!!

Give me an A!

This was Alexa's idea to have my mom take pictures of her making the letters of her name.

Time is flying!!!!

I was driving home the other day and looked down and saw my miles on my car, 111111. For some reason this stressed me out. I didn't know if I should pull over or take a picture of it. I know this sounds stupid, but it was one of those moments where I realized that time is flying by, I am never going to get it back, and I wish there was someone going through it with me. I know I am whining about being single, but I can do that every once in a while if I want to.
Alexa is growing up so fast. We went shopping yesterday with my sister and a friend from work and she was trying so hard to be one of the big girls. We were looking at furniture (which I haven't blogged about it yet, but I bought a house. It hasn't all closed yet, but when it does I will put up some pictures.) and Alexa kept saying "I totally like this one," or "This one is so freakin cute."

When we were leaving to go home, my friend asked if we wanted to go to another store. I said, "I'm down." And then Alexa spouts back with "Well I'm up." After we cracked up at her, I think she was a little embarrassed and said, "I mean I am down like my mom."

We are having such a good time together now that I am off for the summer and we get to spend all day together. She is starting to read and loving books. Loves taking pictures of peoples feet. Loves using speed dial to call me from my mom's phone or text from my sister's I phone. Her newest tricks are being able to bounce on her bum on the trampoline and then bounce back to her feet, swinging all by herself, and snapping. She has been practicing at all of them for months and finally can do all three. I am so blessed to have her around, but I wish she would stop growing so fast.
