Aleksa's First Haircut

Before

Aleksa finally got her haircut last Saturday. She didn't have any hair for the longest time that once it started to grow we didn't dare cut it! Ha. Well it grew and grew and grew until we knew we had to at least trim it. Once we convinced her (okay flat out lied to her that her friends were all cutting their hair) we had Lori do the honors.

After: not much shorter just trimmed all the long ends off- looks so much better and still plenty long.

A Child's Prayer

(Aleksa, Cade and Brook in their fort)

The end of Aleksa's prayer tonight....

......thankyou for friends... thankyou for more friends....

....Please help me go to ChuckECheese 'morrow...

(Spoken in a fervant whisper)

I WUV ChuckECheese....

amen.

Goodnight Aleksa you crazy kid.

Aleksa

Somedays you just need a nap....

Preslee

As many of you have read about Preslee this week it's heart breaking for me to tell you that Preslee returned home to a loving Heavenly Father today. Please pray for her family this day. Thank you for all of your comments, prayers, and other contributions to the Sullenger family. If you would like to help the Sullenger family you can contribute here.


Families are Forever.

Hello everyone. By now you've probably read about sweet little Preslee and the efforts so many wonderful people are making to help out her family. I was contacted by Jessica to join their silent auction for Preslee and thought why not? So now is a great time to grab some Lulu's for a great cause!
I've donated one sibling to be shirt.
And one sibling tee set.
Head on over and see what other wonderful items you can snag for a great cause!

And as always please pray for Preslee!

Praying for Preslee

Help the Sullengers

If any of you know the Sullenger family (Pat, Ashley and Preslee)- they could use your prayers and thoughts right now. Their daughter, Preslee, is currently in the ICU at Primary Children's Hospital. Cache and Lindsey have set up a blog for anyone who wishes to donate to the Sullenger's medical bills. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.

John Wooden Quote of the Day

The Four6Three is going to honor John Wooden this month by doing a quote of the day.  This one is one of my favorites because it was said by my coach quite frequently. Rather than let you know what I think it means I will leave it to you.

We're Back....

It's been awhile I know but here are some graduation pictures. It was such a great day- Aleksa was so proud of Cam she kept standing up and saying I'm clapping for my dad- while she wasn't in the hall with Mimi or Papa. Thanks to everyone that came for graduation- it sure meant a lot to us.

I am a dork- oh well...

The Walker Kids- This is my favorite picture from graduation. The Bogarts made law school a lot more enjoyable that's for sure.

What do you do in the Summer Time?

Well, it's been awhile since I have last posted Cam took his last final, I finished all my orders from the show, posted on the craft blog, Aleksa learned to be sassy(not good), Cam got released from the bishopric, Cam and Aleksa went to the baseball game,

Cam played in the Stake basketball tournament and didn't break anything,

Aleksa and I sat through Stake basketball with the help of our good friends,

and my cute sister in law Liny took me to get a pedicure for my birthday!

We have been hard at work on some cute Mother's Day presents, if you will not be receiving a present from us because you are not one of our moms- check out the craft blog. Aleksa and Sophie had a FABULOUS time playing while Joy and I crafted- and I think Joy and I had even more fun- shhh don't tell the kids.

I just printed off my to do list for the day...bummer...its long....I emailed it to myself at midnight last night as I laid there and thought of everything I had not done yet... I'll see you tomorrow.

Wednesday Nights....

Wednesday nights are crazy are at our house, Cam teaches private baseball lessons and I have young women's- or as Aleksa calls it "the women". Aleksa LOVES to go to "womens" with mom, she gets attention and treats. This past Wednesday night I took the lone miamaid to do a "photo shoot". Which meant Aleksa got thrown in the hiking backpack that we have never actually taken hiking and off we went. She was awesome, heavy, but great! At the end I took her out and she asked if I was going to take pictures of her too, so I snapped a couple quickly.

How do you?

Explain to your 2-year old what it means to move? We keep talking about our move to Utah and all the fun things we're going to do there... but in the back of mind I wonder how do I tell Aleksa that we won't see her best friend in the whole world for a while? I know it's silly but these two have been best little buddies all through law school.

18 Days til Graduation

Well it's finally come, all that stands between Cam and a law degree is one test and one paper. I can't believe it's come so fast and so slow. When we moved to Arkansas I was still pregnant with Aleksandra and now she's a crazy 2.5 year old. So many changes have occurred that I feel like we are almost different people now than those two kids that arrived in Fayetteville.

With graduation comes change, we are moving. As sad as we are to leave our home, we are so excited about what the future holds. Cam got a job in the UVU athletic department. After working at three law firms during law school we decided that the law firm thing wasn't for us-we want to have a life and enjoy that life. So after much prayer and thought and second thoughts Cam decided combing his loves athletics and law. Turns out athletic departments LOVE people with law degrees- so it works out perfect for us. Cam will be working under the Associate Athletic Director doing NCAA Compliance(the legal side of college athletics). He's so excited which makes me so excited!

So Utah.... ready or not 3 crazy Razorbacks are coming your way!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!

More pictures to come but we're too busy enjoying our family time. This is Aleksa pointing to her smile to show me that she is smiling.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we had an Easter egg hunt with some of our church friends, everyone brought eggs to contribute. Despite Aleksa tripping as soon as the hunt started and falling on her face and cutting her knee- it was Fabulous. Aleksa had a great time finding eggs, swapping candy and hanging out with all the kids she LOVES from church.

After the hunt all the kids sat down to go through their loot- and Aleksa went looking for eggs that got left behind- is she my daughter or what?

Look out people I'm a toddler on a mission- and that mission is candy.

Wooo Pig Sooie...

Two days down and three to go till the weekend. Lil A cheering on those HOGS.

Because

Because sometimes one flower in your hair is just not enough...

Library Monday

Went to the library today- had to pay all of our fines so we could check out "CinderELMO".

Yeah, it's that kind of day.

Check out the craft blog to see the bag we took to the library.

I kept looking at the picture of Aleksa trying to figure out who see reminded me of- it finally came to me.. Alice in Wonderland- am I crazy or does anyone else see it too?

No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed...

Just one crazy 2yr old. Aleksa pulled all the kitchen chairs into the living room and made a bed last week. Then she went crazy singing no more monkeys... and other songs. When I asked if I could take pictures of her she outdid herself with her poses. I'll let the pictures tell you the rest of the story.

Giveaway!

To celebrate the first month of my craft blog I am hosting my first giveaway. Stop by and enter- it runs until Friday! I will be giving away one "pinch proof" tee. Good Luck!

Walker Family Olympics

Aleksa LOVES to watch the ice skating during the Olympics, so we thought we would take her skating again today. She did really well today and by the end of the session she could pretty much get where she wanted to go. Cam and I tried out our triple axles but ended up halving them instead. Of course we forgot our good camera so all we have is footage from "Aleksa's" camera. We will bring a better camera next time. Aleksa had a blast though, it was so cute. I think we will go again tomorrow.

Disclaimer: We are sure its the bad camera that makes our jumps look wimpy- Cam said that he spun at least four times- but the poor film quality did not do his jump justice...

Proud Report...

I'm proud to report that the fourth member of our family is growing- that's right "baby"as in Aleksa's baby doll.... is growing. This morning Aleksa brought "baby" to me and asked for a pen- alarms should have sounded- they didn't I was getting my Nie fix for the day. Then I heard from the bedroom...

"oh good job baby! you growing so big! I so proud of you baby"

What?! I ran back to see and Aleksa was marking "baby's" height on her growth chart- joy. Aleksa is the proudest mom on the block this morning- she keeps telling baby over and over

"I so proud of you!"

Aleksa is all about falsifying her height as well- she is on her tiptoes here.

Pinch Proof.... Hardly

I made Aleksa this shirt for St. Patrick's Day and took her out to take some pictures in it, well it was FREEZING today so this shirt cost me $1.39 for the box of popcorn I bribed her with, she found .28 on the stairs and a nice lady over at Gift House Antiques gave Aleksa an ADORABLE coin purse because she thought she was cute. All in all not too shabby. I asked her who she wanted to give these pics to- "mmmm.... papa and sophie...." here's to you.....

Where's Waldo?

Can you spot our Waldo in this picture?

This is how Aleksa ate her breakfast yesterday and this morning. I suspect that she will eat with her Valentine's flowers until they die- which will be sooner rather than later since she loves them to death while she eats. I haven't caught her feeding the flowers breakfast yet, there's always tomorrow. Notice the flowers are red, she did not want pink she wanted razorback red.

The Little Rock Club

This past weekend Cameron and I got away for the weekend. Cam was awarded a scholarship this fall and there was a big banquet in Little Rock for the scholarship winners. We had some friends from the ward watch Aleksa and we headed to Little Rock. The dinner was held at the Little Rock Club, it was the top floor of the building with a great view of the Capitol.

It was a nice night that we spent with some of his fellow law school students and we were able to meet the people that donated the money for his scholarship.

The next day we were able to visit Central High in Little Rock, and go to the visitor's center to learn more about the Little Rock Nine. Central High was huge and beautiful, and the visitor's center was so interesting-I'm really glad we had time to go there.
