This is how fast Britt types...go speed racer go! He types with 2 fingers so I would say this is pretty good, if only he didn't have the other 8 fingers just hanging around unused! He didn't make any mistakes though!
We had so much fun Yesterday at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mounds Washington. Amy and Aaron Schaub booked a room and invited us to come with them and enjoy the water park. Everyone should go, it is indoors and where the water park is it is 88 degrees. You don't feel cold, there is no breeze a
nd much cleaner then an outdoor park. They have a wave pool and a really awesome slide, they have six big slides. Alexis had so much fun that when we tried to leave for dinner and then for home she cried and cried. Evana was sick though so Amy didn't have as much fun, but Romeo and 
Alexis just ran around like they were on a sugar high(they weren't). Anyways, Britt and I are gonna go there next year for our family vacation! We didn't take our camera with us to the water park, next time I will bring a water one. So all our pictures were taken as we were leaving.
They have story time at 8pm every night at the clock tower, they have a little disco club for the teenagers, they have a cool arcade, an arts and crafts place, and they had interactive stations a
ll through the hotel. It was cool you buy a wand and point it at things like pictures and boxes and they do different things. All the kids we saw that had wands were having a blast running around. Everything was decorated so well and beautifully, the staff was really nice and the other guests all seemed nice. We will be going back for sure!
If this is a prelude to summer I am so glad we bought our AC last year. I am not sure how hot it got today but when we got home from Mallori's birthday party our thermometer said 96. We decided that since our house was 85 we were putting the AC in. Had it for 30 minutes and we are already 3 degrees cooler. Yea, I am such a wimp when it comes to a hot house, I love it hot outside though. The kids had so much fun at Mallori's birthday and all it took was a big sheet of plastic, dish soap and a hose. Only a few people hit the fence or got banged up. Alexis loved it when Chad sprayed the water up in the air; she ran around trying to catch the water in her mouth. It was very cute. I really do hope we have a nice summer! Ashlee ans Alexis had fun hanging out on Thursday, we filled the baby pool and Alexis played until we forced her shivering body out! She loves running through the sprinkler and trying to catch the water in her mouth. I think we are gonna have a lot of fun this summer. Except when we mow the grass, even sitting with me she is so scared of the mower that she was biting her fingers and hand. Sad. 
This is how she has solved bad hair days(bangs in the eyes because mom wants to grow them out)! Britt drove his semi home and I realized Alexis has never been in it. Never turned that big wheel, honked the air horn....she really doesn't like that part. She was leaning on the steering wheel to see Britt outside and it went off and well she cried. So she may not jump at the chance to sit in it again. Alexis is also petrified of the lawn mower. I tried to mow the backyard Yesterday and thought she would be fine playing on the swing set; nope she went behind the shed and cried. I felt so bad, my parents came over and watched her so I could finish.
Alexis has been giving me the hardest fight when it comes to bedtime and nap time. She will only go to sleep if I am holding her, which I love but the girl is getting heavy and it is harder to stand up with her when I am laying down. So I decided that she needs to start going to sleep in her bed, which getting in and out of the crib would not be as much fun as it sounds (hahaha) so I took off her crib rail and put on the toddler rail that came with the crib. So thought it was pretty cool to climb on and off her bed. When it came time to go to bed she tried putting up the usual fuss and limp body routine, well she was surprised when I put her in bed and knelt down and she could see me, she gave me a kiss and a hug. She wouldn't let go so I laid down with her and she just hugged me with her cute little arms around my neck and drifted off to sleep. It was kind of sad for me to know that she is big enough to sleep with out the crib. I actually shed a few tears about it while I watched her. So no crying and jumping up and down until she gives up and goes to sleep. She also started saying her first really clear sentence today.... "I wanna it." It was so clear a guy in the store laughed because he knew what she had said. Makes me happy because a few months ago I had her tested with Child reach to make sure she wasn't behind and they said that by the age of 2 they should be saying 50 words and 25 a strange should recognize and she should be saying 3 word sentences. She has been saying 2 word ones and every once in a while 3 words together, but she has "I wanna it" down. I'm not sure how many words she says now but it is over 30 and she is saying more everyday. 
Alexis was having a great time in the ocean. She would count one(holding up one finger on each hand), say two and three and run into the water. This however would be that last time she was happy to be in the ocean on this trip. Good thing daddy was there to save her or we wouldn't have a video camera anymore...due to water ruining electronics. I would have tossed the camera faster then a blink of the eye. I know I am giving myself a lot of credit since my Wii age says I am 65, gonna have to work on that. As I was looking through the videos I found one where she is feeding Alma too.
