Kyle built an amazing standing desk for me because he knew I wanted one. It has a double-hinge so you can fold the desk section and hide it behind the storage cubes. He also measured it to be the perfect height for where I would stand, and it's a great book / toy storage for the kids. Love it.
We switched the kids' room around so that Alexa is now on the top bunk and Tyler's crib is underneath. The idea is that they will fall asleep faster because they can still talk, but can't see each other and keep one another entertained for as long. It seems to be kind of working...
They still love to play in our walk-in closet together, which has somehow been dibbed as the "desert" according to Alexa. As in, "Tyler! Let's go on an adventure in the desert!" And off they both run into the closet and close the door.
We had a great visit with family for Jason Andrews' homecoming in March! It was so fun to spend the weekend together and have Marmie and Grandpa stay with us.
To end, a few stories about those adorable kids... Alexa learned the First Article of Faith and now walks around repeating it in church. I love that 2 year-old girl and I'm one proud mama. On a funnier note, we went with a friend to an Indian buffet for lunch and Alexa cried when we had to go. The reason? "But I want to take the buffet home!" I commiserate.
Alexa is in love with braids thanks to Frozen, and I love that she actually wants me to do something with her hair! Generally, she always wants it down and straight. The first time I did french braids, she ran to Kyle and said, "Daddy, look! I have princess Anna braids!" Kyle turned to me and said, "Dang it. I'm going to have to learn how to braid, aren't I?" I laughed really hard. She also ran right past me the other day to have Kyle paint her toes sparkly. He was so surprised that she wanted him to do it, and then immediately scared because he said he had no idea how / what to do. Haha.
Tyler got his first haircut! Alexa has yet to get a haircut, so this was a first for our kids. He is now a champ at going down the stairs, loves to give kisses, says "hi" (sometimes on the phone to Grandma, which is adorable!), screams for Mommy right when I walk in the door, folds his arms for prayer, and his FAVORITE things to do are pillow fight / wrestle.
