First Field Trip & Fair

Last Thursday was Lexi's first preschool field trip (she has one a month).

We went to the state fair.

My girls had never been before

and I hadn't been since Sean and I went together right before his mission.

We had a lot of fun. At first Lexi was upset. She is really, really shy and

gets really, really stressed out sometimes when we are with big groups.

Eventually she warmed up once we got to the petting zoo.

Avery especially loved the petting zoo.

This girl LOVES all animals!

Avery went up to each animal and made their sounds and would wave and say, "hi."

She was very friendly.

Avery would have been happy to stay at the petting zoo all day.

Here's Lexi with her preschool class.

Eventually we broke up into smaller groups.

We went off with Evelyn and her daughter Tess.

We decided to take the girls to the rides.

Lexi had only been on a carousel before this.

I was expecting her to be terrified of the roller coaster but she loved it.

I think it really helped having Tess there.

Luckily for Evelyn and myself all the rides were only $1 that day instead of the usual $3.

So we let the girls go on several rides.

The height requirement for all the rides was 36 inches, which Lexi luckily met.

She was 36 inches at her 3 year check up.

Now, I know Lexi would love Disney Land but I want to wait to go until Avery is big enough to enjoy the rides too. Which might be a while since Avery is even smaller than Lexi

(percentile wise and real size wise too).

Avery did great. She loved watching Lexi ride the rides and loved eating all the treats I had brought for her and Lexi to share.

Evelyn's baby did awesome too. Kaylie just slept most of the time.

Lexi is always asking if we can go back to the fair.

Avery's First Dentist Appointment

Last week I took the girls to the dentist.

Lexi has been once before but to a different dentist.

I took the girls this time to Spencer Tasker. He used to live in our ward and he's awesome!

He's one of the people that helped us move into our old apartment,

when we first got to Albuquerque.

Avery had 14 teeth at her check-up (since then #15 has cut through).

She wanted nothing to do with anyone.

She was a pill, just like I knew she would be.

Lexi has 20 teeth.

She (we) need to be a little more diligent with our brushing and start flossing.

She was a little nervous and shy but did great.

Then and Now

We went through our storage unit today.

We're trying to get everything organized for our move NEXT WEEK!

Anyway, I pulled out our baby swing and bath tub.

And then girls loved playing with them.
