It's March and it feels like spring should be just around the corner - except that it won't quit snowing! Spring weather or not, the calendar says it's time for some spring cleaning and organizing, so we started off the month doing just that. Lexie is growing so fast - she's 9 months, but tall enough for 12 month clothes, so it was time again to switch out her closet. I finally had the energy to box up all the hand-me-downs that weren't our style, and get them all set up for give-away. Phew!

| No matter the chores, there's always time for baby snuggles - especially when she falls asleep on mom. Ahhh... soaking it up! |
 |
| See ya! |

Lexie and I loaded up on the plane again this month - headed back to Waterville to meet her new little cousin Tyce! We bought a one-way ticket - and Grandma (mom) drove us back to Great Falls where she got to stay a few days with us! Jewls, Sam and Brooklyn met us there, and we also got to see Auntie Sue and Uncle Doug Burton. So much fun!

| While in town we decided to do a little shopping - Jason carried both babies through the store. I think he regretted this by the time we got to the baby section all the way in the back. These things are heavy! |

On the way back to Montana we stopped at McDonald's for lunch - Lexie had her first french fries!
|
 |
| My niece Ella came to play for a day - it was pretty chilly, but we couldn't resist a walk in the sunshine |
 |
| The girls just wanted to play in the crib together - at least it was easy to keep an eye on them! |
 |
| Big girl is standing up and walking along the furniture - not brave enough to let go yet, though! |
 |
| She still doesn't have much hair, but I couldn't resist trying a little clip - haha! |
 |
| Getting her from her nap - time to lower the crib mattress! |
Chelsey had her baby boy! Congrats Chelsey and Justin. We stopped by to welcome our newest little nephew - Jethro! He has a full head of dark hair - such a cutie! Lexie is getting quite the group of cousins!
Little sis Chandee and her best friends made us a special dinner one night. They wouldn't give us any details, just said that they made us dinner, and to show up at 6:30. We parked the car, and out came one of them running across the field dressed in black and white with an apron. They ushered us in to an old shed on the property, and had us take off our shoes and don some slippers they had handy in a box. They then opened the door to show us our table - we were surprised what it looked like inside! The old abandoned shed had been cleaned up and transformed! They had classical music playing, candles lit, a high top bistro table set with fine china for two, and plenty of heat. They served us our meal, and even babysat Lexie so we could enjoy it. What an unexpected treat!
