All Smiles with Dad

Lexi is always excited when Scott comes home and she is usually all smiles.

Auntie Heather

This was my sister Heather's first time meeting Lexi. She stayed with us for a few days before she had to go up to Idaho for school. Lexi really took to Heather and here are some pics:



Heather could always get Lexi to SMILE!!!

Easter Sunday

Here is the Beaudin Family on Easter Sunday 2009.





Scott is funny, he wanted Lexi to be part of the family and have her very own Lance Armstrong "LIVESTRONG" band, so he made her one. These are the results:



I just thought this was a cute picture. Look at those big blue eyes.

2 Month Check-up

Lexi had her 2 month check up today and her stats are:

Head: 37.6 cm
Length: 22 1/4''
Weight: 9 lbs. 13 oz.

She will be a tall and skinny one (I wonder where she gets that from). The Dr. said she is doing great.

As far as the shots go, I cant believe they gave her 5, 3 in one leg and 2 in the other. I think I did pretty good. Lexi was screaming so much but I was able to control my emotions and not cry. I felt so bad for her. The worst was afterward when we were loading her back up she let out this scared little cry and that was what made me the most sad. She has since calmed down and fallen asleep.

All ready for Summer

Later today she has her 2 month check up. I will post her stats.

Don't Leave Home Without it...

You ask, what am I supposed to not leave home without?? How about the keys to your house.

Last night we went over to our friends house and when we got home Scott pulled out his keys just like normal only to realize he had removed our house key from his key ring. When we got a new car somehow in switching all his keys around it got taken off. Normally I would have my purse with me and I would have used my set of keys but the one time I dont bring it this happens. After giving each other a hard time about who's fault it was we tried to break in. After breaking a few cards in Scott's wallet (i.e. my old UV ID and our Blockbuster card) the winning card was a Jamba Juice gift card. After about 15 mins of trying we were finally able to get inside our house. We will be going to walmart asap and making a 3rd copy of our house key so this never happens again. Luckily we didnt have a call a locksmith.

Family

Now that I have a child of my own its hard to be away from my family. When I moved out to Utah for college I couldnt wait to leave my little old town of Avon Park, FL. I practically bolted out of there and didnt really care to go back. Now I kind of miss it but not the scenery or the weather (definitely not the weather) but the people, my family. I know it is really hard on my parents not being able to see Lexi grow up. I really rely on my Mom for everything regarding Lexi. She always seems to have the right answers. Thats right I am one of those girls that calls her Mom almost everyday and tells her everything. When I had Lexi my Mom came out for 2 weeks to help me get settled and I dont think I ever told her how much that help really meant to me. Luckily for modern technology it allows us to be able to video chat with them anytime we want. It is great that Scotts family is so close and they are always willing to help with anything.

I am really excited because my little sister Heather is coming on Thursday to go to school at BYUI then my Mom is coming out next Tuesday to make sure she gets settled. I know they can not wait to meet and see Lexi again. I am just greatful that we are able to see them as much as we do considering they live on the other side of the country. Our first trip to FL will be April 28th. Lexi is going to have many firsts, flying on an airplane, going to the beach, seeing cows, and experiencing the humid weather. I cant wait!!!

Smile

Finally I captured her beautiful smile on camera.

Pouty Face

How Can I Say No To This Face??????

New Car

Our 97 Ford Taurus (R.I.P) finally died a couple weeks ago. It had a good run. It lasted Scott 6 years, 150,000 miles, and many road trips. The "Family Man" is going to be donated to the kidney foundation because it is worth absolutely nothing so it is just easier to have it towed out and take the tax write off.

Now came the fun, stressful, and annoying next step, looking for a new car. It stinks because who can really go out and buy the exact car that they want, with the exact miles, and the right year. It always seems like you have to settle with an OK car but not the one you really wanted. Also how annoying can used car salesman be. Scott and I spent a lot of time looking online before we went out looking just so we didn't have to be jerked around by them. First of all we couldn't decide who's car it was going to be, mine or Scott's. We have an Xterra, which I love, but it is a little hard to put the car seat up in the middle of the seat. So I was determined to find a car that I liked but I am super picky and can never make up my mind so we decided I would stick with the SUV. It turns out we found a nice 04 Mazda 6 with decent miles and a sporty look on KSL, for sale by owner. We checked it out and Scott loved it. He secretly wanted a car like this all along.

Today we get to go pick up the car. It will be nice not to have to be cooped up inside anymore because I have a car to go places and Scott has a car to zip back and forth to work in. We hope this car will last us the next 6 years then we will get to buy the car we really want and I will get to pick it out!!!!!

Lexi Apr. 4th

Scott took these pictures. I was pretty proud of him.




Of course I couldnt resist taking pics of Lexi when she was just laying on a blanket. Scott and I have already taken over 700 pictures of her. So this is the first post of many more of her to come.

Stay At Home Mom

Per Hilary's suggestion I am starting a blog. It seems that starting a blog is something that all Stay at Home Mom's do, so I am jumping on the bandwagon. I have been a stay at home mom for about 2 months now. Our little girl Lexi is 8 weeks old. It has been the most rewarding, fun, and boring time all wrapped into one. It can been quite emotionally draining staying at home all by yourself and caring for a newborn, especially your first. I really dont get out much with her during the day. Currently we are down to one car because our old 97 Ford Taurus finally bit the dust, so Scott drives our other car to work. I just cant wait for the weather to finally act like it is Spring outside so that I can go on walks with Lexi and not be cooped up inside the house. Currently I am addicted to watching the OC on DVD so its ok that it is cold outside. I have watched all 4 seasons in 2 1/2 weeks, (lame I know) but when I have no car and its freezing/snowing outside there isn't a lot of other options. This week it is supposed to finally warm up a little bit. I am excited my little sister Heather is coming out to go to BYUI so she will be staying with me for a few days and my mom is coming out the week after.
