Michelle: "Lexi, stop pushing your brother. Please be nice!"

Lexi: "No thanks, I don't want to!"

D.C.!

We made it to D.C. yesterday! The drive down went surprisingly really well! Lexi got to ride half way with her friend Gretta, and watch Cinderella, until we had to part ways (they were headed to Delaware). Thanks Mike and Melanie! I was really worried about Jace, but he did awesome! We are subleasing this apartment from one of Tyson's friends from BYU. He and his wife are in CA doing an internship there, so we got to fill their place. This place is just like a hotel. There's a lobby, front desk, a pool and fitness center on the bottom floor and it's in these high rise buildings with hotels and restaurants all around. So it really is like we're just on a long vacation. The one bedroom might get old, but can't complain. I will post pictures soon!

Jace & Lexi

We decided to get some pictures of the kids before we headed to DC. Taking pictures of Jace is pretty much impossible, but we did get a few cute ones. Here are a couple.

Miss Lexi

Even more impossible than pictures by himself, pictures of both the kids

I just loved his expression in this picture

my favorite

These are seriously the ONLY pictures (our of like 100) where's he's actually looking at me. I guess all you need is one right???

*Note to grandma's - I will be printing some for all of you*

Recital

I had my first violin recital this past weekend. I felt really silly playing since I've only been taking lessons for a few months. But for the most part it went ok...except the part when I started shaking and messed up and the bow went flying out of my hands...ok that didn't really happen, but I did get more nervous than I thought I would. I am loving the violin though and I just want to keep getting better...so don't laugh at the video. This was after the actual recital since we forgot to take the camera with us.

One year old!

I will say it again...I can't believe Jace is one year old already. This past year has gone by so fast! Here's what we did on his birthday.

*Woke up and opened presents, which consisted of a Tonka race track, balls, clothes, cars, tractor, hammer, pj's...etc. He wanted me to tell everyone thanks for his awesome presents!

*For lunch we headed to Chuckee Cheese

*We met Pratt's there to celebrate Boston's birthday as well, his being the day before Jace.

*This was his favorite!

The birthday boys!

*Finished the day off with not even his own birthday cake but left over of Tyson's (am i such a bad mom or what??? He didn't seem to mind!)
Kylene and I one year ago with our new baby boys! Don't we just look lovey!
