Alexis Is Nine!!!!

My beautiful, fun, sweet, hard working daughter turned 9 years old on May 5th... I couldn't stop her from doing it as much as I wanted to. We celebrated by going to Great Wolf Lodge (a super fun hotel with an indoor water park) and then for her actual birthday I threw her a very very impromptu surprise party. I started making phone calls the morning of her birthday and come 6:00 she had 5 friends over for Pizza and Ice Cream Cake. What a great group of girls to celebrate with. Here's some pictures of her 9th birthday...

Vegas 2010

I had a work conference in Vegas in May 2010. I loved the conference (really) and you can't beat the venue...

Basketball, Softball, Birthdays, and Others in 2010

Lex' fourth year playing ball... I'm pretty sure her favorite part is eating sunflower seeds and chanting softball cheers in the dugout... hmmm... wonder what I can do about that?

Just a nice day in Seattle... doesn't happen too often so I must memorialize it...

Before school one day... she looks so put together. The rest of the time it's t-shirt and jeans. Guess this deserved a picture too...

Lex and her cousing Allie on Easter. We had a traditional Easter dinner at BJ's pizza... :)

Lex and her friend Meg at a birthday party...

We went to a Blazers Versus Lakers Game in January... Sad thing was, no Kobe and no Brandon... so sad....

Cheerleading??

After a basketball game one day (hear it... basketball), Lex' friend booked a cheerleading day with the High School Cheerleaders. She had so much and I even have a video of her directing a group of cheerleaders through one of "her" cheers.
