Skies in Indiana

These pictures were all taken on our back deck. It was so beautiful. The skies really were that pink and purple. I love 'weather', changing weather. We just sat out and watched.

Audrey in basket

So, one day I get a yell from Alexa to come down in the basement 'real quick'.
This is what I find. Audrey shoved into a rolling basket along with a pillow, her favorite blanket and a stuffed kitty.
To my surprise she was happy and DID NOT want out. I was thinking she must not be able to breathe. Nope she was happy just like this! These are the fun times w/ Alexa. I'm sure it was her idea.

Alexa 9th b-day

To Alexa.....Happy 9th b-day!! To us you are: loving, thoughtful, kind, creative, nurturing, and a great big sister. You are so good w/ Audrey. She will remember all the times you create forts, put on tea parties, play dress up, dance to really loud music. We think your great! We love you and love watching you grow into a beautiful young lady.
Getting ready to make Alexa a b-day cake. Audrey loves to be in the middle of it. Her new thing now is the spice cabinet. I try to have patience....... I mean how much time do I really have to open up ALL the spices so she can smell them.
Alexa and......the beautiful wallpaper in the backround.
I just realized Audrey has no shirt on.
Alexa showcasing her gifts from g-ma Nancy. Getting g-ma's box is always sooooo fun. One of her favorite gifts was a personalized recipe binder. She is excited about that one, it's like a recipe scrapbook. G-ma made the scarf that she is wearing. Thanks g-ma!!
