Ahhh... Convention week... the best week of the year! It was so much fun to meet up with all our family, and especially fun to have Tyce, Brooklyn and Lexie together in meeting! It was like a revolving door on our bench, but I know these will be favorite memories forever!
Sunday of convention was Lexie's first birthday! It's hard to believe it has been a year already. We love, love, love our sweet little girl!

| Her first taste of birthday cupcake... Buster is intrigued! |
 |
| Well, at least mom likes the cake! |
 |
| Thank you, Brooklyn, for the awesome car present (and books and bath toys)!!! Lexie absolutely loves it, and drives it around constantly. She loves to hide things in the flip up seat compartment... and has recently been trying to stand on the seat and "drive!" Yikes! |
 |
| Good buddies Ryla and Buster... thanks for having Lexie's party in your trailer! Also, thank you for the very pretty birthday dress and shoes - I will be wearing them all summer! |

Those sweet little hands are one year old!
I didn't get any pictures, but Lexie got an awesome quillow from Auntie Sue - the perfect colors - which she now HAS to snuggle at bedtime, and some neat Fairy Tales books from Grandma & Grandpa. She is very loved. |

It's always hard to leave convention, but even harder when you know you won't see these friends and family for quite a while. I guess for now we'll just have to keep them in our hearts!
Fun times! Wish we could have an entire week together instead of a day here and there! We will take what we can get though. We need to see you soon and take in the fact that Lexie is running! Good grief. Love you tons! Jewls
