T-DAY!

I really cannot believe it is already December 10th.

Life is flying by and it stresses me out! Lately, I have
really been trying to just enjoy every minute
because I feel like life is so short. Anyway, Christmas
is coming up and I'm so excited to go and visit
my family in Indiana! We are leaving next Thursday
and I cannot wait. Anna is loving the Christmas
season. We love to watch the Christmas movies
on tv every night while Clayt is at the school.
Disney & Nickelodeon are the best. I love the
cheesy Christmas movies. It is funny because
I really don't watch any tv other than Anna's
shows. Drake & Josh, I-Carly, Hannah Montana,
Wizards of Waverly Place, Cory in the House...
haha we love them. Anyway, I really don't
know where this post is going. I'm just rambling
on. Nothing too exciting has been going on other
than it's finals week and we are almost done!
My first semester of the Master's program was
a success and not nearly as hard as I thought
it would be. Clayt has one semester left and
we are so excited that school is done for three
weeks! Maybe I will actually get to see my
husband again. Okay enough of my babbling.
Here are our Thanksgiving pictures. We had
T-day with the Cutler family and it was a blast.
All of Clayt's dad's family were in town and
we had a little feast at the church. It was
sweet to have T-day with the double Blasdells.
I love my new cousins. :) Okay enough. I
wonder who is still even reading this. Here are
the pics!
Clayt showed Anna the true use of olives.

Canada and her husband Chad? and her daughter Gracie? haha.
Aren't they the hottest family ever!? Just kidding. This is Jordan Blaze,
Cando and Jill's little girl Jane.

So this pic is dead serious. These guys are so into their phones
it is unreal. haha. Me after eating 283947397 pounds of turkey and 289374397
pounds of pie. Yum.

Nikki Blaze was so cute. She had a little activity for all
the little girls.They decorated cookies and sat at this cute
little table. It was definitelythe highlight of T-Day. Nikki...
you were the hit of the party!
Neens & Katers. So cute :)Gracie Bo Bacie. Love her. Chloe May... little hottie.

Speaking of hotties... Casey Lynn and Heather G.
T-day night, Clayt and his bros played in a Valley
b-ball tourney. Never thought we would see them in orange and black!
Shotgun shooting! The G-Loves. Annie Oakley made an appearance.
The men and their guns. How hot are they.These two pics crack me up. This was the first pic I took of the girls.
Here is the second one . I have a feeling these three
will be trouble one day!
And last but not least, our Twilight pics! The Cutler ladies
went downto Hurricane, had dinner and saw Twilight! It
a blast to havea little girls trip...but I have to say. I HATED
TWILIGHT! I have read everyone else's blogs and nobody
else seemed to feel the way I did.I didn't like it at all. I
thought it was terrible. It really bummed me out. It ruined
everything. I did go a second time with Sarah Glover last
Saturday and it was a little better. I do like the soundtrack
though.I don't know. I don'treally want to talk about it
anymore. :( Casey & me in the car on the way to Twilight.

Canada & Lydia enjoying the front seat. They are so pumped for
Twilight. And heres another thing Edward fans... I was in a
car with two Jacob lovers and one person who had never
even read Twilight. I was trying to explain how just because
Jacob is hotter in the movie... he really isn't hotter in the book.
The girls at dinner. I just love em. Kenna is such a lil woman. :)
Casey & Kenna. The cutest. :)

So I just thought I would add these. Anna has been way into playdough lately.
We have come up with some creative things to make! Here is our latest...
the Easter Bunny!

I know what everyone's thinking.. I should have majored in Art.
I know I know.
I loved her little pose face here. She is my best friend. :)
Well I'm done. Sorry so long everyone! Happy T-day!

I am very impressed with that Easter Bunny. No really. I mean it. Anna is such a little poser! She's growing up so fast. And hey, you better stop harassing Chad about being a Buffalo...he has yet to actually put on a jersey! (unlike somebody else...)

Cando said...

Twilight. I love this post. I must say. One of my favorites. You did a good job in capturing everyone. I love your face after turkey. You are ready for comfey's and a nap. Love ya. Call me. I need i need.

Kassi said...

So I just have to say first cuz it is drving me crazy that you wrote this but Jacob is NOT hotter then Edward in the movie! I don't know why you would even say something like that. He looked all WRONG! To skinny and his hair was to long and he was just NOT the one.
OK I feel a little better. I wondered where you guys were when I walked into the Valley gym and say Clayton and all of them in black... I guess I know now :) We had fun watching the Cutler boys. Good times. Also I love all your pictures! So cute! You guys always look like you have so much fun together! Ok this is about as long as your post ;)

Whit said...

So how did you like Twilight? Have to ask it is interesting to see what everyone thinks. By the way Anna is a doll :) have a great christmas Break!

Sarah Jimenez said...

I love how Ana poses! Please teach my daughter!! haha she still has zero interest in the camera and it kills me. Sounds like you guys had a great Thanksgiving. Have a fun Christmas in Indiana!

Lydia said...

Lexie, I wish you all were safe and sound with Grandma Heidi instead of driving...Please be safe, I love you.
Kiss Anna from Grandma Lydia

How in the world can you say that movie Jacob is hotter than movie Edward?? You wanna brush those long locks huh??

Indiana Christmas? FUN! Your so lucky you get to visit home so much even though it's so far away. I am glad you reminded me of listening to puff daddy in my room. I hate forgetting wonderful memories like that!

Lexi! I am officially entering the blogging world again by leaving you a comment!! YAAA!! I thank you for inspiring a comment out of me. I loved the last post about anna not sleeping... my favorite thing about it was the 24 comments everyone left you!! I was dying laughing how different everyone's advice was... So- Here is mine. I am going to have to agree with anonymous. Someone didn't dare leave their name with their opposite sounding comment. But here is my deal. Hallee WAS the same way. She was just little and scared and I was so worried that it would end up with me always having to be with her to fall asleep and then one day I was laying with her and I was so mad that I had to be there and she asked me to sing her a song. And I am not kidding you I just thought of how fast they grow up and how fast they are NOT going to want us to lay with them and she is already getting more and more independant. And it really isn't that hard with two kids. I have trained Josie since day one, so she is a piece of cake, but Hallee is kind of my own fault so I just love her and now she knows that when it is bedtime, I will lay with her, or boomer will, but she goes to sleep in minutes. Like three minutes and she is snoring. It is one of my favorite parts of the day now. Just love her. She will be big so fast that it will make you sad. Let her be little and you will always remember laying with her at night!!!! That is my softy advice from a mother who loves to lay with her little girl at night. (I am definitely the majority on this.) You are such a good mom though. Just go with your instinct. Anna just wants to be with you... Am I breaking your heart too yet?? I am trying. :) Well, enough of that. We need to get together and let the girlies play. I miss haning out with you!!
