New Hobby

I feel bad a lot that I dont journal, but I love to read and get to know other people through their blogs. So I thought I might give it the old college try. Maybe now I can help other people get to know me and us, but also I can look back and remember fun things.
A couple of funny things Lexa is saying right now:
The primary program is singing I Am A Child Of God. A line from the 4th verse says "Celestial glory shall be mine, if I can but endure." The primary chorister asked the kids what endure means. Most kids started talking about going indoors. So I asked Lexa later that night what she thought it meant. She thinks it means getting her "butt in doors". It is too cute for me to correct for now. She has a whole lifetime to grow up!
We also were talking a lot about hurricane Ike (some of our hearts are still in Texas). Nolan started noticing that Lexa was pronouncing hurricane a little funny. So I asked her to say it. It sounds exactly like 'whore'ican. It is pretty funny.

Well, we are getting ready for a big birthday party tomorrow. My little Lexa is turning 5. Her birthday is always so close to Halloween that we either have to have the party way early or way late (it is Oct 30th). I wanted to keep it small, but it just kept growing and Growing and GROWING! We will have about 15 families here tomorrow. Kinda freaking out! But it is only from 1-3 so we dont have to have lunch or dinner. We have little gourds for the kids to paint and cookies to decorate and a pinata. Since we invited the whole family we are having a Wii tennis tournament for the adults. We even have a prize, a gift certificate to Target. It should be wild and crazy!!! I havent even tried to REALLY clean the house because I know it will just be trashed anyway. :)

So, there is my first attempt that blogging. Hope you enjoy and please let me know if I am slacking!
