July 6,2007

I have finally resigned myself to the facts. My children keep getting older...it is inevitable. I also keep getting older...oh well! I truly never saw this part of life coming...my oldest child turning 11! Wait, stop, let me catch up...no too late she really is now an 11-year old. I know everyone gets older. For some time there I thought I would be 16 forever. It has finally dawned on me I am WAY past 16! (Doug thinks I'm having an early mid-life crisis) but, I'm fine, really I'm fine. I am very late in posting this and I am sure I will be getting a comment from that eleven-year old about how late I am :)
Lexi is a wonderful girl. She is my right-hand man (so to speak) and an amazing one at that. Happy Birthday Lexi! Your Mama loves you more than words can say. I would cross the highest mountain, run the entire earth, and give up the very last piece of chocolate cake, just to ensure you happiness always.

Lexi had a great b-day. Breakfast with Dad at Paradise:) An "old fashioned, at home party" as requested. We had pizza, cake and icecream, games, movies, and lots of candy. We can't forget the tying of flip flops and all the shopping for the party:)

Here is our birthday group.

present time is always the best.

Vivi LOVED having this birthday celebration. Ava and Vivi had their own gifts to give Lexi. They love their big sister!


Birthday checks...always fun:)
