How did I become the mother of a 12 year old? A young women? A middle schooler? I know it was just a few days ago that she was sleeping in her crib. Nevertheless reality is that Alexa had her 12th birthday. She is such a doll. We absolutely love her. The nice thing is that we know we aren't the only ones. I don't know anyone who doesn't just see what a wonderful girl she is. She is kind and loving. She is so good with little children. She is responsible, fun and level headed. She is creative, smart and thoughtful. I could go on and on but I'm sure you just want to get to the pictures.
On her birthday she wanted to come with me to a craft show where I tried to sell some of the things I have made (that's a whole other story.) While we were there one of the other vendors let her pick something from her booth since it was her birthday. After we got home and I rested up a bit we opened presents and then went and saw the movie 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' in 3D. The girls had never seen a 3D movie before so it was a lot of fun for them. Then Alexa picked Jason's Deli for dinner which we all love so it made it nice for everyone.
While we were at the craft fair the YW came and heart attacked Alexa's room and through candy all over the place and hid some in drawers and in her closet, etc. She was so excited.

We love this girl and enjoy teaching her and learning from her. She is a great example to all and basically just a lot of fun to have around.

Happy Birthday Alexa! I can't believe you are 12 either...that means your cousin is right behind you!
I can't believe you have a 12 year old. Wow! She is a beautiful young women...just like her Mommy!
Happy Birthday Alexa! Keep up the good work!
Wish I could have been there for the big celebration. Can it possibly be 12 years since we were trying to teach the child how to eat. And wasn't it just yesterday that we were in Boston and she was "flirting" with everyone on the "T"? Where does the time go? What a beautiful young lady she is--inside and out. She will certainly be a great example to all those young women at church.
Grandpa and I surely do love you, Alexa.
Holy Cow!!!!!! Where did the time go! She is so beautiful! you have the best kids! I just can't believe how fast they're growing!! It seems like just yesterday you were worrying about her starting 1st grade (in Arkansas schools!) She is amazing! I hope Chloe turns out as great as she did!!!
Happy Birthday Alexa from your long lost Uncle Marque!
A 12 year old?! Man, you guys are old!
