This morning Lex was checking herself out up close in the mirror and asks me:
Mom, am I getting a pimple?

Satterwhite Family Reunion
This weekend we headed up to Pennsylvania for the annual Satterwhite Reunion. Alexa had a great time playing with Alexis and Lexis. Who would have thought that there would be a party with THREE LEXIE'S!!! 
Lex and Miss Beth (Lex told Miss Beth, "Miss Beth, you don't have any boogies in your nose today).
(Alexa, Lexis, and Alexis)
On Saturday night, we had dinner with Bran's brother, Justin, at school (Kutztown University). Alexa ADORES Justin. We have countless conversations at home about him and his girlfriend, Missy (hint hint, you guys...come visit soon!) Justin is going to be an elementary school teacher!

Go Mets!
Thanks to Miss Steph and Mr. Marc, Alexa was able to cheer along with Brandon at the Mets/Nats game at RFK. The seats were 
absolutely amazing and by the end of the night, I had Alexa convinced that David Wright (see this gorgeous picture of him) was my boyfriend. She even started cheering "Go David" and wanted to hug him after the end of the game. Unfortunately, that didn't happen :)
Even Mimi had her 
"Go Mets" hat on...

Tubing and "Cabities"
This past weekend, Bran and I were invited to go tubing with some of Bran's friends. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect and fun day. We had two coolers full of beers, great weather, the warm Potomac and many laughs...
Then....Monday, Alexa had to have one "cabity" fixed at the dentist. I could not have been more proud of my tough little trooper....Lex was so brave and didn't even flinch when the pediatric dentist put sleepy jelly on her gums and then proceeded to put her tooth to sleep. The dentist told me that she was the best 4 year old he has ever seen :)
After we left the dentist, lex asked me: Do I still have my tonsils?

It's Friday and I'm bored...
Since it's Friday and my brain has officially shut down, I'm going to post some random pictures that are on my laptop...
I found Lex sleeping in the foyer one day when she was not feeling well.

Little Miss Tattoo
Here are some pictures of my tattoo'ed child from this evening. Alexa wanted all of her Lightening McQueen tattoos on and since she will be with her dad all weekend, I thought, why not : ) Brandon was also lucky enough to get a "Pit Crew" tattoo on his foot.
I'm also happy to say that my Pottery Barn coffee table has finally arrived after being on backorder for the past three months! I love it!

This weekend....
For some reason, I am SO excited for this weekend.
1. Lex will be with her dad from Thursday night until Sunday evening. I do have to admit, as much as I miss her when she's away, it truly is a nice break for Bran and I. We can do grown up things, go for coffee at Starbucks and chat, lay in bed, and watch a movie with cursing :)
2. Bran and I are going to Tiffany's to look for his ring and then head over to Bailey Banks and Biddle to look for my TWO wedding bands. Yep, you read that correctly. Since my wedding band that matches my engagement ring is so simple (thin band of diamonds), I want one for the top of my ring and one for the bottom. Poor Bran, doesn't get off easy, does he.
3. We are test driving cars for me. I want a sedan...Bran is insisting on another SUV. I'm trying to convince him to sell his Acura and take over my Murano so that I can get another car, but no luck on that front.
4. We have specifically made no plans as we have been away or have had MULTIPLE committments every weekend since summer started.
5. This is MY first weekend without having to write a paper for school (for those following along at home---Aced both of my classes!)and I have until September 4th, to relax and I plan on doing just that : )

What my Eyeball smells like
This was our bedtime conversation tonight after reading:
Lex: Mommy, I wanna smell your eyeball.
Jen: okay...
Lex taking a big sniff...."Mommy, your eyeball smells like vanilla."
Ballet this week
Alexa takes ballet lessons at Creme every Wednesday and last week, when I went to pick up Lex, her teacher told me that they didn't have ballet that day. I asked Lex on the way home why didn't they have ballet....
Alexa's reply: Ballet was tonsilled today (tonsilled=canceled).
Lex: Mommy, I wanna smell your eyeball.
Jen: okay...
