March 2016

March came in like a lamb and went out like a... lamb. Speaking of lambs, we went to the Cyr's in Rolling Hills and Lexi got to help feed a baby lamb from a bottle. Lexi, your love for animals is so endearing. Maybe someday we'll have a little hobby farm of our own. Maybe. Anyways, the weather was so beautiful in March that we spent almost every single afternoon outside, gardening and playing in the yard. Mama finally has the flowerbeds the way she wants them, and Lexi... well, Lexi just loves moving dirt around.

Poor Lexi had a bout of croup early on in the month, and it ended up being a pretty special little bonding experience for Lexi and Mama. We went for a 3-am road trip into town, through the McDonalds and Tim Hortons drive-throughts (imagine the looks Mama got when she rolled through at three in the morning with a toddler in the back seat with the window down!) The employee at McDonald's gave Lexi a My Little Pony to go along with her fries. All in all, it was a long night, but a special adventure.

Another adventure was dinosaur hunting with Daddy on a Sunday afternoon. We drove out to Patricia and saw lots of dinos along the way.

Gramma and Papa came back from Hawaii, and we got to spend Easter at the Crowsnest with them. We put easter eggs out in the morning for Lexi, and when Linkin joined us later in the afternoon, we hid all the eggs again. The kids had such a blast finding them.

Lexi's vocabulary and speech just keeps growing, and the 'mistakes' she makes are so cute that they have to be recorded: when she hears something, she says "I saw a noise!" Her reason for being sad is still "my dino... my t-rex" and she calls Macklin 'Mackanee' or 'Mack Attack', which she got from Mama.

To top off a great month, we had some major blessings at the end of the month: Mama sold her car and her condo, so we're building a deck!
