Happy First Birthday Lexi!

I can hardly believe it-Lexi is a year old.
Since it was her special day we did all her favorite things.
Swimming was number one! The day was beautiful and perfect.

First she has to walk around and check it all out.
The tile is so stinkin' slippery though, and hot.

Look who's swimming without a floaty..... =)

Nice action shots-

Superman!
We got some good sun until she was all tuckered out.
Even the birthday girl needs her birthday sleep-
We prepared the cake while the princess slept.
Lots of sprinkles to make it pretty!
Wa-La! A beautiful Mariposa!
(It looks like it was stabbed by the candles..hehe..)
Happy birthday time!
(Preston got his toe squished a little bit by a chair,
so he's kinda sad...)
She picked out her favorite foods for her special dinner:
Mac-n-cheese and corn.
She is great a feeding them to herself, one by one....by one...
Time for cake!
She is such a dainty eater. I think Preston is messier than Lexi!
We dun good...
She say's, "Da-da-dad-da-da!" Whenever she see's daddy.
I believe they are her first words-
It is really the same noise every time he comes around.
AND-She snuggles him more than me. I know my place in her eyes.
Mom=Change poops, food, nap time.
Dad=play, snuggle, play. She sits on his lap so nicely during
church. When she comes to me she gets so restless. Sigh...
It's the mom syndrome.... =)
Presents! Preston got her the cow ball.
Sydney picked out the "snugly bear."
She got a sweet ride from mom and dad.
Complete with a car phone-oh ya!

Once again she has to fight for her own toys,
even on her birthday...sigh...the youngest always
has it the hardest... ;-)

Here's a couple videos of the days excitement-
It was super fun!

First comes the swim party-

Then singing happy birthday-

Happy First Birthday Lexi!
May All Your Dreams Come True...
