A new bedroom and Easter

Two weeks ago, my mom came up for her Spring Break to hang out with Stacy's family and mine. She also came to help paint Lexi's new room and get it ready for her to move in. Saturday, the day my mom flew in, Stacy and her came down and painted the room with Jaron. I supervised of course but mainly just did my own thing since I'm not supposed to be around all the paint fumes. My mom came back down Monday from Draper to help finish it all. It turned out really cute even though we don't have a lot of decor up on the walls, but that will just have to come later. Thanks mom and Stace for all of your help!

The Friday before Easter we also did a little egg hunt for Lexi and Kysa. Unfortunately the weather was freezing cold and snowing so we did it indoors. Luckily Jaden's dad is a bishop and let us use the church to do the hunt. We just used the Relief Society room and the girls had such a blast. It was Lexi's first egg hunt and she loved gathering all of the eggs. The candy was just a bonus! Kysa just crawled around and gathered them but I think she liked it too. We all had such a good time with my mom visiting but we just wished she lived here so she wouldn't have to leave!

Alexis is growing up so fast. She says new and interesting phrases daily and Jaron and I both wonder where she comes up with it. She still loves to dance and sing songs and is slowly but surely learning more of her numbers and colors. Her favorite thing to do is to go outside and play on the slides so hopefully the weather will continue to get warm. She is finally staying in nursery by herself and Jaron and I were able to attend all of our meetings at church yesterday. Lexi makes me laugh daily and is especially very silly when Jaron gets home from work! Potty training is still a never ending battle but at least we haven't had any problems with her sleeping in her new bed. She usually asks to take a nap and will lay down without any problems. She loves her new bed even though she won't sleep under the covers or on a pillow. She just has her blanket and her froggie close by and goes right to sleep. I guess in that area we are very lucky, but the potty training is going to kill me!
