vegas and LA trip

Super bowls finally here. So, it's time for a trip to Vegas.

We got to see the whole family. Lexie had a blast with all her cousins. We stayed at Nono & Nona's house. They live next door to Uncle Glen and his HUGE family. Lexie and Summer stayed close, as usual. But also opened up and had fun with everybody! She also LOVES their dog named Red and Berkley. We made several trips down the street to see the horses. Went to casinos and had AWESOME food! Lexie really enjoyed the secret garden dolphin habitat at the Mirage. There were dolphins, lions, tigers, alpacas, and cheetahs. Hard to get used to the new time schedule. We were going to sleep at 8 and waking up at 6. HAHA. Perfect timing for the early birds to cook a delicious breakfast. Great trip. Glad to see the family again. We will have to go back and visit soon. (:



LA has been fun! the first day we got here we came out to the beach. Lexie didn't care so much to enjoy the waves or the ocean. She was too busy playing in the sand with her pale & shovel. We went to Venice Beach and played in the park. Lexie enjoyed the swing. She decided her baby wanted to swing too. So, I was in charge of pushing both of them. Of course when we decided it was time to go. Lexie was not ready and she cried.

Today we went to Disney Land. That was A LOT of fun. The most fun I'm sure Lexie has had all vacation. She road everything you can possibly think of. Except she wanted to ride the kiddy roller coaster, but wasn't quite tall enough. /: She cried a little bit but was pretty much over it by the time we got back to the stroller. She loved Minnie's house. Then when we hit Mickeys house she never wanted to leave! Before we left Lolly decided to take the girls to the gift shop to pick ANY toy they wanted. Lexie wanted everything we handed her that was Minnie mouse until the very end when we were about to check out. There was a 2011 Minnie Mouse. She loved it... Until she saw the 2011 Mickey Mouse. & decided she liked him better. She gave him a kiss. We told her she had to hand him to us so we could pay, she didn't want to let go. Since we have been home she has still not let him go. She's in bed now sleeping with him. (:

We got home & she was SO tired after her huge day. While getting ready for bed she said she wanted to watch barney 2 times. Sadly, we didnt bring barney. So, that couldnt happen. But she was out after the first 5 minutes of laying her down. I don't think she missed it too much!

GREAT VACATION. (: (: (:

I'll have to post pictures later.

glasses

Lately we noticed Lexies left eye pulling to the left. Pretty worried about it, Jennifer made an appointment to see an eye dr. When we got there they dilated her eyes and we waited in the waiting room for 30 minutes for her to go back again. Made her look in many different things so the dr could figure out what was wrong with them. He said she is far sided and it pulls her left eye to the left when she strains to see something. She cant see far away very good or things that are really close up. He gave her some prescription glasses that will hopefully keep her eyes straight. and hopefully help her vision from getting worst. Her eye has definately been a lot straighter since. I was very sad to hear the news. But, thank god everyday that i have a healthy 2 year old.

After the appointment, we dropped her prescription off at the eye doctor. Lexie got to pick her glasses. She was excited. She picked the pink ones. I'm surprised of how easy it has been to keep them on her. Ofcourse she has her times she covers her face when we try to put the glasses back on. And ofcourse their are also times she loses them and claims she doesnt know where they are. But, we usually find them pretty quickly.

A couple days after she had been used to wearing them I gave her a bath and took her glasses off. She was rubbing her eyes. I asked her what was wrong. and she wimpered a little bit and said her eyes hurt /: I'm assuming she's just starting to realize that she needs her glasses to see good. It breaks my heart she sees a blur at 2 years old. But, I'm very greatful they could diagnose the problem at such an early age & give her what she needs to see clearly.

Christmas also passed. Lexie had a blast doing all the fun events. She loves to stay busy and always has something new to do. Between me, and her grandparents she stays pretty busy. lChristmas morning we went to Lolly & Pops house. Got LOTS of toys, babies, and barbies. Summer got a puppy. Lexie was very jealous. She kept holding her and saying "my puppy." We would tell her no. its summers puppy. She would continue to laugh and say its her puppy.

Later in the day, she went to her daddies for chrismas. & guess what he had for her? yah. a puppy. Now the apartment manager isn't too happy. Hoping we can keep him. Because she sure does enjoy playing with him.
