SHE LOVES...LOVES...LOVES BABIES!

SHE LOVES HOLIDAY'S...ESPECIALLY CHRISTMAS!

SHE HAS THE CUTEST SMILE AND CURLS!

HER ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS!

SHE LOVES HAVING SISTERS AND DOING "GIRL THINGS"!

I CAN ACTUALLY REMEMBER THIS DAY IN ROCHESTER AT PANDA EXPRESS!  I THINK WE WERE TENDING THEM!

ALEXIS WORKS SO HARD IN SCHOOL.  I WAS NEVER ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS THAT COULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE CLASS WITHOUT WORKING VERY HARD.....ALEXIS IS SO DETERMINED AND I LOVE THAT!

SHE IS A NATURAL AT DANCE...BUT SHE ALSO WORKS VERY HARD!  THIS WAS LAST YEAR WHEN SHE WAS IN THE NUTCRACKER! 

 THIS YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO BE THERE TO WATCH HER PERFORM....SHE IS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST BUT SHE IS THE BEST.  SHE LOVES IT AND WE LOVE WATCHING HER!! HER FAMILY ALL SUPPORTED HER AND ENJOYED IT ALSO.....IT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL EVENING!!AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, ALEXIS LOVES BABIES AND BRYANT IS OBVIOUSLY HER FAVORITE.  HE CRIES WHEN I HOLD HIM BUT HE LOVES ALEXIS.  SHE HAS A SPECIAL TOUCH WITH HIM AND SHE IS ALWAYS READY TO HOLD HIM, FEED HIM, AND PLAY WITH HIM.  SHE IS SUCH A GOOD SISTER TO HIM AND ALL OF THE KIDDOS.ALEXIS WORKS VERY HARD IN SCHOOL.  WE WERE ABLE TO SEE HER IN HER FAIR AT SCHOOL WHERE SHE HAD EVERY WORD MEMORIZED AND DID A PERFECT JOB.  SHE IS VERY PARTICULAR TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS JUST RIGHT.ALEXIS LOVES TO COOK (AS I USED TO.....THE KEY WORD BEING USED),  SHE REALLY AMAZES ME AT THE THINGS SHE CAN MAKE AND HOW NATURALLY COOKING COMES TO HER.  I LOVE TO SEE HER TAKE PRIDE IN THE THINGS SHE MAKES.  SHE IS SUCH A GOOD SISTER TO THE LITTLE GIRLS.  SHE IS GOOD TO PLAY SCHOOL AND HOUSE WITH THEM.  THEY REALLY IDOLIZE HER.SHE LOVES HER FAMILY VERY MUCH AND TRIES EACH DAY TO BE HER BEST.  I HOPE SHE ISN'T TO HARD ON HERSELF BECAUSE NONE OF US WILL BE PERFECT IN THIS LIFE, BUT SHE REALLY IS OBEDIENT AND HAS A TESTIMONY OF HER OWN.  SHE IS SO GOOD ABOUT SAYING HER PRAYERS AND READING HER SCRIPTURES AND WE KNOW THIS WILL BLESS HER ALL OF HER LIFE.  WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER AND HOPE SHE KNOWS WE WILL LOVE HER FOREVER AND EVER!  HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY OUR SWEETHEART!!
