Portland Fun

While John is in Portugal, Alexis and I were able to go to Portland for a week to visit family.  Alexis got to meet her brand new cousin Olivia.  She loved, loved, loved Olivia and always wanted to be the one to hold her.


Alexis also got to have fun at the park with GiGi:


And make funny faces with Uncle Brandon:


And go on lots of walks around the neighborhood in her car:


It was a very nice, relaxing week.  We are so glad that we got to visit.

Swimming Season

The pool is open for the summer.  Hooray!  We couldn't wait to go swimming.  Alexis was very brave and jumped off the diving board all by herself.

Whit's Wedding

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending my dear friend Whitney's wedding to her lovely finance Dan.  Whitney was a beautiful bride:


It was so fun to be with my best girlfriends from high school:

Fishing with Ken

This morning Alexis and I went fishing on Pine Lake with Nana and Ken.  Alexis was so excited.  At first she seemed to be a little scared of the dingy, but it was actually the life jacket that she had to wear.  Once we got it properly adjusted, she was good to go.

 


Alexis caught her first fish just a few minutes after Ken cast the line.


She was so excited to hold the fish.  She didn't want to put it down.


Alexis reeled the fish in all by herself.


Alexis caught six big fish (the limit).  She was very proud of herself and so were we.


Afterwards we went out to lunch at Red Robin and Alexis got a big milkshake all to herself.


Later that night, Alexis helped Nana cook her fish.


And she ate a whole half all by herself!

Polish Ladies

Alexis was lucky enough to have her first professional manicure and pedicure today, thanks to Nana.  Alexis loves getting her nails painted.  And she loved the "polish ladies."
