Lexi's New Favorite Toy

So Lexi really likes to stand up all the time so we got her this toy she could stand up in and turn around and play with all the toys, it's just like a walker but it dosn't move. She loves playing in it so much.

It's Football Season again

So Kent is a big football fan a really big Dallas cowboys Football Fan, and he gets a little crazy when the NFL season starts. When we found out last year that I was pregnant, all football season Kent would talk to my belly and tell the baby that they were going to be football buddies and that they would watch all the games together we even bought Lexi a little Dallas Cowboys shirt for Christmas (she wasn't even born yet) , and Wham a little football fan was born. So when football season started this year I was really excited to see how things would turn out, and just as he had planned Lexi loves to watch football with her daddy.

I Love The Water

Lexi loves the water she loves to go swimming and taking baths she is always having so much fun in the water. She loves to splash the water and giggle to her self. So I have decided that because Lexi loves the water so much that I would look into getting a membership to our local pool so that i could take her swimming. So as i was looking around I found out that at OPFC the local pool they offer infant swimming lessons starting at age 6mo I was so excited because Lexi was six months yesterday. So if any of you new mom's want to put your babies into swimming lessons Lexi's class starts on the 27 of this month.

In Memory of Taylor Brett Burton 03/01/2008-07/30/2008

Taylor is a angle that came into our lives and family for a sweet if short time. He came to this earth with at loving, strong spirit and he left a deep lasting impression on all those he met. His was a mission of love and endurance.

He was surrounded by family and left this life peacefully knowing he was deeply loved. We will see you again Taylor, but we will love and miss you until then.

This is my beautiful nephew Taylor born just 6 days before my little Lexi. I know that they were best friends in Heaven and will always be best friends forever. Even though Taylor was so young he was such a great example to me. Taylor we love you and miss you so much, but we know that you are in a better place and that you completed your mission here on earth and have gone back home to our Father in Heaven.

Taylor looked so peaceful.
Taylor's coffin was made with love by his Father Brett, Grandfather Scott, and Uncles Ryan, Kent, and Tyler.
All of the lining was made by Taylor's Aunt Polly.
