Lexi is NINE!!

Lexi is now NINE, and had a fabulous year!! Come see how much she's changed...I feel like she is so much more grown up looking now **SOB**!

In July of 2008, Lexi celebrated turning EIGHT with a Pokemon party...

....and became a BIG sister again!

In August, Lexi got some SUPER cool hair extensions....

...and had her first day of school...

In September, Lexi celebrated Labor Day at the beach...

In October, Lexi was a cheetah for Halloween....

...and we took pictures in the leaves...

In November, after getting back TERRIBLE school photo's, we decided to do our own...

In December, we did pictures for Christmas cards...

In January, Lexi wanted pictures taken with her favorite pooch...

In February, Lexi decided she wanted home made photo valentines to give out...

In March, Lexi celebrated being Irish for St. Patrick's Day, by wearing her festive clothing...

In April, during vacation week, Lexi posed for pictures with her little sister...

In May, Lexi had her dance recital, and loved her Irish Step class the most...

In June, Lexi posed for her birthday invitations...

...and cut 8 inches off her hair...

In July, she celebrated the fourth of July with family and friends...

And here she is last night, at 8:00pm on July 5th, 2009, after a loooooooong day at Canobie Lake Park....EXACTLY nine years after she was born... This week we'll be doing her '9 year old' pictures.....her 'friend' party is on Sunday.....family party at the end of the month...someone please tell her to STOP growing up!!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July from girls, all dressed in their festive attire!!!

A couple of my fireworks shot thrown together, so you're not stuck looking at a gazillion different fireworks pictures...Lexi loved the fireworks....Livs was a bit bored with them, and Bells glanced at them every now and again, but had no real use for them!

A couple more...

Here are a couple more from the other day. I don't know if its the braids, or what, but for some reason, Livs was having a SUPER sweet day, no mischief in her eyes whatsoever, lol!

New purple backdrop!

I got a new purple backdrop, and had to test it out! The girls weren't really in 'picture mode', but they let me get a few shots in!

Laughing hysterically at Lexi's antics...

Some more summer weather was here....

Enjoying the summer weather while its here....the forecast for the next week is looking rather blah!! So, we went out for ice cream tonight, to a little place that has a petting zoo area for the kids. Bella loooooved watching and touching the sheep.....and Livs became obsessed with feeding the goats, spending all of her quarters on food for them...

Bella liked the chickens...

Can you tell what flavor ice cream Livs was eating, lol....

Lexi wouldn't open her eyes, or look at my camera, but she kept giggling, knowing I was taking her picture...

Some playground fun after the ice cream...

Summer has begun....

The weather has been horrid....and we've been stuck inside! It didn't rain today, so we got outside for a bit!!

Bella looooves yummy popsicles!!

Bella, sitting still for a minute (which is rare)...with her goofy tooth, lol...

Bella's favorite thing to do outside, along with the swing, is bouncing on the little trampoline...

And my Lexi girl cut 8 inches off of her hair....and momma does NOT like it! She looks soooo much older now, and I'm not ready to let her grow up...
