Horses and me

Here are some more pictures from the Girl Scout Event this weekend.

We are at a Horses and me event with Alexa's girl scout troop. She's learning about horses and before the day is done I'm sure she'll want one.

Here's a couple of pics from her Girl Scouts meeting. She is really enjoying it.

It's been a while

OK, I know that it's been a while since I last updated this blog, but I'll give you some updates and try to be better about keeping up with this.

Since the last time, Alexa has had another birthday. I can't believe that she is already six! I swear she groes everyday. She is doing awesome in school and it is amazing all the things she is learning. She sings and dances to this cute song about insects. I videotaped it and will try to post it this week.

Alexa got her report card and has all 3's (which is the same as A's)!!!

That's all for now.

Alexa's Review

Well, Sara and I are extremely proud parents. We had our first parent teacher conference and Alexa's teacher had nothing but great things to say about her. She helps, listens, and is reading and writing at a higher level than most of her class. I know that it sounds like I'm bragging, but that is what we are supposed to do when our kids to well...right?

Mother daughter UNO

Sara was surprised to realize that her sister and family came in for the long weekend to celebrate her birthday. After a day of shopping and swimming, the girls sat down for a friendly game of UNO. I should have known that they would all try to cheat!

Today is Alexa's first day of school. She was soooooooooo excited and glad that she is finally starting. She had no problem getting up this morning and got dressed in record time. We drove her to school today, but tomorrow she gets to go on the bus for the first time. Two firsts in two days. I'm sure she is having fun, but it is hard to see her growing so fast. Here are some pics from the big day!!!

A special Mother Daughter moment. Walking into school for the first day!

Now they know the camera is on them. Look at her smile. She is so excited. Mom...not so much. Alexa is just growing up too fast.

She already knows exactly where to go. She's leading us to the cafeteria.

Waiting to make new friends.

Oh look... a new friend.

I've got Hanna Montana...what do you have?

Lining up to walk to class.

Exploring with Playdoh on the first day. How fun!!!

OK, Mom and Dad. You can leave now. I'm making friends and playing.
