Well Exams

Eva got her shots last month and well visit and Alex did too.

Alexus at 9 is 52 (37%)  in tall and 66 lbs (50%)
Eva at 5 is 44.5 (85%) in tall and 52 lbs (95%)

Both grew 3 in and 9 lbs in a year.   Just think that's funny they both grew the same.   Love em.

My heart sings

So finally the kind of weather AND the time to get out and ride bikes as a family. Due to the holiday we had some great family time an went to the park.  It made my heart sing that Alexus finally got how to ride her bike without training wheels and without falling and not giving up.  We tried last spring summer but I think the bike we got her last Christmas was still too tall so the 3 inches she grew over last year is what she needed. Now, she doesn't want to get off of it and that makes me so HAPPY.  I knew she love it once she did it and her sister wants to ride too.

Diggin those nuts

Happy New Year

wow, like usual December was a blur.  With all the holiday to do and parties and travel.  Trying to remember what even did.  I know Eva and I drove to Kansas City for two days.  We say my friend from 9th grade who now has a son Eva's age.  We went to union station with them.  The Plaza was really neat all lit up and Hallmark center was really nice decorated and lots of fun to do. We actually got tickets to see Rudolph production at the little kids theater there.  That was VERY good.  We went to the science center and saw bug and the train exhibit which was so neat.

Sickies

Well, the girls and I have been sick over the last couple weeks.  Cold not flu thank goodness but it's a bummer.   Eva was first then myself and now Alexus.  It's snowing here today just an inch or less but its pretty.  Everybody went to school.  Last weekend we had a fun weekend going on a Cake hunt downtown. All 250 of those cakes out there may be gone at the end of the year. So we went downtown up in the Arch and got about 11 cakes. Going in the arch was a first for both girls.  They wanted to go back down pretty fast. We went to the famous "crown candy" in St louis but wasn't that impressed.  We went to the mall to set up Alex's new bday present (IPAD) and then Santas Wonderland in Eureka to see the lights.  Wasn't too great either. It was a full day and I felt pretty bad the following day.  Friday we had pancakes with Santa at Alexus's school . That was fun.  This guy called Chris cakes makes em fresh and throws them from the grill to your plate. Kids got a kick of that.  Crafts and santa. I helped with crafts and pack up the books which I think kicked off my getting sick.  Eva had "luther" all weekend from her old school.  He's the bear in the pics. You can tell from last pic. Eva was done after a couple of hours.   But really got to see alot downtown that I haven't seen.  

Alexus turns NINE

We had a fun weekend with Nana and Aunt Amy BOTH visiting.   We went to pics with Santa and then did the Anheiser Bush lights tour and got to pet the clysdale.  We also got to go Bethlehem live play at Eva's school. It was neat and special for the girls.  Alexus had about 4 girls attend her birthday party at skyzone Sat night. That was a little disappointing of a turn out but it's always a very busy weekend for people and mom was proscrasinator getting out invitations.  Every year I say and wish we'd do it before or after December. Next year?

Magic house
