Birthday time

 We all went to the jump zone for Kate's birthday this year and it was a lot of fun.  The kids were in heaven

 Alexis learned to do a back flip on her own.  And now she is a little pro at it.

 Alexis turned 11 this year.  She is very into soccer and so she wanted her cake to be a soccer ball on a grass field.

 I still can not believe that my baby is growing up so fast.  She is such a great girl, and helps me out so much.  She can babysit now when we need her to, and I know that when we come home she will have the house cleaned up and kids will all be well taken care off.  She is such a sweet heart and I love her so much!

something Alexis sad to me that day that was so funny.  I was getting ready for her party and making her cake and I as wearing sweats and a t-shirt, and comes up to me and rubs my back and say's, "mom, you really make those sweats look comfy!"

Alexis is going into the sixth grade this year, and that is in the JR HIGH..... I am a little sick about that, but I know she can do well!  Alexis did so well in school this last year, she has to work a little harder than some other kids, but she doesn't give up.  I hope that she can keep it up and always work hard like she has in the past.  She is so smart, and such a good girl, she has such a great heart and I am so proud of her!
