Alexa's Birthday

Happy, Happy Birthday!!!  My dear sweet Lexi Lu, I love you!

It was a special day for our fabulous new 6 year old!  We started the morning with a special birthday breakfast and some gifts.

                                Hmmmm..... I wonder what could be wrapped in an ice chest???

                        As soon as she sees it, Alexa runs over to her daddy to give him a big hug.

                                               It's her very on Djembe.  She asked for this for her birthday.  Alexa has an incredible drum beat.  I am excited to see how she does.

                                        We opted to make cupcakes for her party....yummy!

                                                       They turned out sooo cute!

Alexa, we love you so much you bring so much energy and enthusiasm to our family.  You have a great laugh and such a quick wit.  I know that God has big plans for you and I am so blessed to be able to watch you grow into an amazing young girl!

Alexa's Birthday

In her own words: "This was the best birthday ever!" Alexa got to celebrate her birthday twice this year, once in San Diego and once when we got back home. We were in San Diego on her actual birthday. So Aunt Jutem made a cake and decorated all for her special day. That afternoon we also got to go to the beach and all the youth sang Happy Birthday to Alexa and she thought that was just the best ever!! ;)


My dear sweet Alexa is growing up before my very eyes! I can't believe she is 5! (I think I say that about each kid on their birthday but it is so true.) Alexa is our child who is so full of energy, life and excitement all the time. She lets you know right what she is thinking even if she repeats herself a hundred times just to make sure you understand! LOL My favorite time with Alexa is having our nightly snack of popcorn and then snuggling with her in bed. She loves to cuddle.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

Alexa's Dance Recital

My Little Dancing Ballerina!

Alexa took a creative movement dance class this spring and she loved it! They worked on their dance all semester and then got to perform for us at the high school auditorium. She was so excited.
This was during the performance. Do you see how they are all looking off stage that is because the teacher was behind the curtain and they were all watching her! LOL :( Maybe the teacher should of thought about standing down in front. But it was still cute and she got her 4 mins. on stage! After watching the other dances, Alexa has decided she would like to try tap in the fall.



Way to go baby! You did great!!
