Man! Recently I've learned how fast life really moves. When I was pregnant with Alexis it felt like time slowed down and she would never get here. People would say things like "Enjoy her while she's little because time really flies!" and sadly, I never believed them. I've since learned what a true statement that is. Time goes so fast so we need to enjoy it while we can. That is exactly (almost) what we've been doing this summer. Here's our little update:
Chris and I decided to try out summer school to see if we could finish faster... Note to self: Don't EVER do that again! Summer went too fast and we barely got to enjoy the sunshine.
Alexis grew so fast! She's still as smiley as ever and loves playing with friends.
There were a lot of firsts for her this summer!
Her first S'more... (one of many she had this summer)
Her first concert... (We went to Diamond Rio for 4th of July)
Her first fireworks
Her first trip to Bear Lake
Her first time bowling (for daddy's birthday)
Her first extended stay in the hospital. Sad as it may be, our sweet baby girl got some nasty virus. She got super dehydrated and lost too much weight so she got to spend a few days (4) in the hospital recovering. Even though she was hurting, she had a big smile on her face the whole time.
Her first trip to the hospital led to feeding her anything we could to help her gain back the weight she lost. This led her to her newfound love: Pizza... and pizza SAUCE even more!
We tried to fit in swimming in her pool and playing at the park as often as we could.
All in all, it was a pretty successful summer (even though there was WAY too much homework involved). We sure hope you had a fantastic summer. School starts tomorrow.... so blogging may be lost for a while, but we'll try to keep you updated as often as possible.
Love to all!
