Lexi's first BIRTHDAY!

Today was Lexi's first birthday!!! I can't believe that she is a year already. Time FLIES! Well today we had a little birthday party at Josh's grandparents house. They has us over for Pizza and I did make and decorate the cake. For those turning in to see how it turned out well....... I think it turned out pretty good for my first time. It did not turn out the way I'd hoped on the decorating but I'm happy with it anyway. Hey its my first time ever to decorate a cake like that. I think Lexi will enjoy the pictures when she is older. It is so nice to have some family here and to be able to celebrate Lexi's birthday with. So we ate Pizza and had some cake. It was fun to watch Lexi eat it. After that we opened presents. She made out for her first birthday! She got two cute out fits, a book, socks, a doll and a stroller from her great grandma and grandpa Christiansen. Thanks grandma and grandpa for all the thoughtful things that you do for us and Lexi, and for sharing Lexi's special day with us at your home. We love you! From mommy and daddy she got a pop up toy, learning purse that had a bunch of things she can put in it, and her our phone. She is only one and she already has her own purse, phone and baby! Spoiled girl. Its ok I love it, she is such a girly girl. Well daddy does buy her hot wheels and she loves to play with those more then anything sometimes. She is differently going to be into cars. That's ok. Well I hope that you enjoy all the pictures and the videos.

The fair..... :(

Boise has a fair just like any other town does. Well being from a small town in AZ their fairs wasn't the greatest. So being in a new town I wanted to check it out. So we thought we needed to go some time at night being its been so hot here and me 9 months prego it would cooler, and we wanted to go sometime during the week so it wasn't so crowded. We didn't end up going until Friday night. BIG MISTAKE! It took us like a half hour to park. At first I was excited until we started walking throw the crowd. It was so hard to push the stroller around cause there was so many people. I could not look at anything cause I was so worried that someone might hate Lexi in the head for something. So we went to see how she would act around the animals. We found a lot of cows and she would just look at them and kinda giggle, it was cute. But the smell was not cute. We did not last long. Before we left I wanted to get some Indian Fried Bread! Well they don't have that. They had something called Elephants ear. Which kinda looked like fried bread. We ask some one in line if it was like fried bread and he gave us a funny look. He has never heard of fried bread? I was like what? So I thought we keep looking for it anyways. While we walked away from the Elephant ears, Josh said to me "they don't have Indians in Idaho" So I was bummed not to get my fried bread that I've been craving ever since they started putting up the fair. I had to settle for funnel cake. It was still good. Well needless to say my fair experience was not the greatest. But it was a big fair compared to the one back home in Prescott, AZ. I didn't get to many pictures but here are the ones I did take.

Baking....

So yesterday I was in the baking mood I guess. So since Lexi's first birthday is coming I thought that I would tempt to make and decorate her a cake. I have never decorated a cake in my life. I thought that I would practice and well..... I did not come out like I thought it would. Josh like it! Can you tell on the frosting side he eat it. On the other side it did not come out of the pan like it should have. So turn in for the final one after Wednesday and see pictures of Lexi eating it. After that I made some banana bread and it turned out great! I love banana bread. While the bread was baking I starting to make the cookie dough and put it aside in the fridge until I was ready to bake them. I was really tired after that! Being 9 months prego and on my feet the hole time I was ready for a nap. Never got one :( Well here are some pictures of my baking enjoy. I know you want to eat them!

Hair do's

OK so Lexi's hair is starting to get longer and I just cant wait anymore for it to grow. I want to put pigtails and bows in her hair so bad. So I thought it's long enough to start. The first time I put three pigtails in and thought it was to cute. I would not go out in public with three, but I do do the two a lot. Josh and I think that she looks to cute. After they are taken out, her hair sticks straight up. Here are some pictures.

Lexi's new toy

So this weekend we thought we needed to get Lexi a new walker, one she can push around. We went to Target and got her one that's like a stroller. It's so cute. She loves it and pushes it every where. We are hoping that she will be walking on her own by her birthday which is on the 27th. We will see. Here is a video of her pushing it.

Pancakes

Sunday Josh made pancakes for breakfast. We love chocolate chips in our pancakes! They are the best. We thought Lexi would want one, so Josh made her one with chocolate chips in it. If I was the one making it I wouldnt put any in hers. Well..........she loved eating it, but mostly loved smashing it with her hands and rubbing it everywhere. It was very entertaining to watch.

Had to give her a bath after that meal. Hahaha.

My first banana bread

So Saturday I thought I would make Banana bread for the first time. Well It turned out perfect! Josh actually likes it. I have been eating most of it and its almost gone. Yummy I love banana bread!
