Why do you like being a kid? Kids get to do more things than adults do and they get more things, like dolls.
One word to describe you would be --Caring (mama agrees)
What advice would you give your parents? To be who they wanted their parents to be. (wow, that's seriously great advice!)
If you could be any animal, which one would you be and why? Dog, because they're cute, friendly and love to play.
Tell about a funny time in your life. When Kyler sent me a picture of Ari's potty chair filled with poo. (Wow, of course)

What do you love most about your sibling? They are funny, sweet and stick up for each other.

What would be the ideal allowance? Tell me how you would use it. $10 a week and would spend it on stuff for my family.

What was the biggest moment of this last year for you? Disneyland

Tell me about Grandma Pam: She was sensitive, sweet, feisty and she loved us.

What do you think makes a person good-looking? To not smoke, to do your hair, to dress right and think that you're beautiful and also be beautiful inside.
Name two things we should do as a family on the weekend. 1. Go shopping 2. Go camping.
What is the grossest thing you can think of? When Ari pooped in her car seat and made a pool. (It was pretty crazy, she was about 6 months old)

How many kids do you want? 3. 2 boys and 1 girl

Most embarrassing moment? When I ate dish soap and puked.

Any last words? People are beautiful inside and outside.

 

 

Sept 4: Lexi's first day of 3rd grade. This is the first year the kids have experienced the same teacher. Mrs. Walker was amazing for Kyler and has been anxiously awaiting Lexi in her class (as we have, as well!)

 Her first year going to a school without her brother

 Sept 5: Lexi's birthday.

 My tradition of the special birthday breakfast. She chose cinnamon rolls, watermelon, pineapple and hot cocoa.

 We took her lunch at school

 Thanks to birthday gift cards and money, Lexi had a shopping spree at her favorite store-Justice!

 Now that school has started and Ari was super disappointed to not be able to attend, we do preschool time everyday. She impresses me!

 Taking Lexi birthday treats to her class.

 

What an amazing daughter Lexi is. I am truly proud of her. She always chooses to be moral, sweet, loving, happy and helpful. I can't imagine a world with her tender heart and unrelenting love. What an honor it is to be her mama.
