Summer Goals

One of our summer goals was to finally take Lexie to see a movie.  We didn't know how long she would be able to sit so we decided to go to the $1 movies.  She loves the movie "Rio" and we were going to see that until we got to the theatre and the line went out into the street.

We didn't think Lexie's first movie experience should be in a crowded theatre sitting in the front row, so we went to Plan B.  We ended up paying regular price and decided to see "Brave".  Lexie sat through a lot of previews.  She loved seeing "Finding Nemo" on the big screen.  She was pretty good for the beginning of the movie and ate her popcorn and lots of snacks.  Then she started to get restless and wanted to move around.  I took her outside for a bit and she wanted to go back in.  She had a hard time sitting on her seat.  Because she's so light, the chair kept flipping up, so I had to put my leg on it to keep it down.  She sat on Eric's lap for awhile.  Overall, she did better than we thought she would.  She seemed to enjoy the movie and only was scared at one point.  

I've been collecting recipes from Pinterest.  One of my goals was to actually try a new recipe each week.  I made Lexie these cute hot dogs.  She calls them octodogs!  

Another goal was to help Lexie with her swimming.  We love our pool and Lexie loves swimming in it.  It takes awhile to set up and fill with water, but it's so worth it when we see that huge smile on her face.  She will stand by the pool and keep asking if she can go in.

Lexie's daddy enjoys the pool also!  They have so much fun in the water together!

Her swimming has really improved because of the pool.
