TWO YEARS OLD!!!

I cannot believe it! Time really does fly when you're having fun and I've been having a BLAST! :o)

Six days ago, May 29th, I turned 23! Holy cow! I do NOT feel 23 years old! I can't believe I'm, like, a grown-up and stuff! It's all craziness!

And now, today, June 4th, Alexis Whitney turned 2 years old! Holy cow again! I was telling Jordan - "I feel like she IS 2, that makes sense to me! I just can't believe how fast it's gone! I feel it's only been 2 months not 2 years!"

Alexis is just SO much fun! The best little Two year old EVER! And as far as the terrible twos go, she's only bad at one thing - not listening. I can tell her not to touch something OVER and OVER again and she'll be doing it within seconds again! I guess she's more like Jordan than I thought! I can ALSO tell Jordan not to do something and two seconds later he's doing it again! Grr! Anyway! Alexis is such a sweet girl and I couldn't ask for a better one! I'll take the "problems" she gives me gladly! Those are nothing! :o)

We LOVE you, Lexi Lou! :o)

So I know all the pictures are pretty much her in this new Birthday Outfit from Grandma Cook - I'm just so in love with it! I was with her when we saw this green cardigan and I just fell in love with it! Thank you SO much, Kathleen! I LOVE IT!!! And Lexi did, too! You know how Lexi is with clothes and stuff - and SUNGLASSES! She LOVES them! THANK YOU!!! :o)

Here is a list of all the presents Lexi has gotten SO far ...

Grandma and Grandpa Hermansen gave her and her cousin, Chloe, matching birthday pajamas! She's wearing these pajamas in the pictures with the cake! Grandma and Grandpa still have Birthday money for Lexi, too. We hadn't decided what we wanted to get her yet! That's what I meant by her presents "so far". Anyways! Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Grandma and Grandpa Cook got her a magna-doodle for our drive home, a bowling set and this adorable outfit that she's wearing in all these pictures! Thank you SO much, Dave and Kathleen! You two are awesome and she LOVES all three gifts!

Jared and Catherine and Emma, Jordan's brother's family, gave Lexi an adorable magnetized "paper-doll". She LOVES it! She played with it the WHOLE way home from New York! Thank you guys SO much! You didn't have to get her a gift! You guys are so sweet! We love you guys! (By-the-way - they also got ME a present, too. I forgot to list MY presents in the last post. I got the pedicure and lunch from Kathleen, as well as the soundtrack to "The Holiday", which I totally LOVE! Oh - and I got truffles from Kathleen, too - she knows me SO well! :o) Jared and Catherine gave me an awesome cook-books of dinners to make ahead of time and freeze until you're ready for them! AWESOME idea! Thank you, guys! My parents also gave me some Mula - yea! - and a skirt, some earrings that I've wanted for a while now and KUNG FU PANDA on DVD! THANK YOU!!! Love you all SO much!!!)

Today, Jordan and I got Alexis this cute Little People Car set with a car, a mommy, a baby and a stroller. Emma had this set and Lexi LOVED it in New York! We also got her one of those "puzzle" things that has the cut-out animals. I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about or not - but yeah. We also are going to get her something more. We, again, just don't know what we'll get her yet! :o) ANYWAY! That was today!

I just wanna say - I'm SO thankful for Lexi girl! She is SO fun and I'm SO happy she's mine! Thank you, God ... is that sac-religous!? ;o)

Love you all!
