Lexi's 4th birthday!

I LOVE this little girl for so many reasons! 

She is my sunshine!

I am so blessed to have her as my daughter and that Heavenly Father saw me fit to be her mother. She brings such a sweet spirit into our home. She makes me laugh, makes me think, makes me play, makes me read, makes me smile etc, etc, etc. She is so independent and is great at imaginary play with little figures or characters as she calls them. She keeps her self busy for hours playing with her toys and she loves to build with her legos (she loves the step by step instructions). Her favorite question lately is "How do you know?". She literally asks me that about everything. She is very outgoing and loves to play with friends and doesn't have a whole lot of fear like the other girls. She is fine to leave my side and play at friends houses. She loves to talk and use big words to describe things. She loves to sing and twirl her hair.

She probably twirls her hair 90 percent of the day.

She is so sweet and is a great big sister to Kasen and is always keeping him out of trouble and letting me know when he is in the "hair aisle" (in the closet where I keep the broom there is lots of hair on the floor from haircuts). She really wanted a Tinkerbell cake (I am not a decorator). And when I asked if she wanted a friend party now that she was 4 she said no, only a family party. I feel like since Tj is gone for some of the birthdays we end up spoiling them and overdoing it and doing so much more. All Lexi wanted to do was go ice skating as a family and that will happen once Tj gets home but I also don't want her actual birthday to be lame so I took her on a breakfast date (thanks to my sister who took Kasen) and then once the girls were out of school I took them all to the Rec Center to swim and then cake and ice cream at home. Birthdays go on for more than one day around here. But I do feel like birthdays need to be special. They are important. It's the day they became apart of our family and that is HUGE! It's the one day a year that is all theirs to celebrate them and they look forward to it all year.

 We went to McDonald's for breakfast. It took us all of 20 min. She didn't want to stay and play.

 Cousins Jade and Brightyn came swimming. And I ran into Krissa Allen there. Every where I go there she is. Tallie and Mckailey actually played together. They never have. They were in the same primary class for a whole year and never said a word to each other. Now they want to play after school. It was nice to see them play but I wish she wasn't there because Chloe gets left out and just wants to play with her big sister. So I was bummed that Chloe didn't have as much fun as she would have.
