America's Next American Idol
Our Family watches American Idol every week, and we have really gotten into it. Last night we were watching it and everytime someone was singing on the show, Alexa would dance around and make up her own words to the song. it was so hilarious. She was dressed in her Cinderella dress with her boa on and her crown and she was so proud of herself. She loves to sing and has NO idea how off tune she is. After one of her "performances" she turned to Walter and I and said "I want to be on American Idol! when I get older, I am going to go to American Idol and I am going to wear my dress and my crown and I am going to be so pretty" I couldnt controll myself from laughing, she is so funny. I can just picture her on American Idol and unfortunately I have a feeling that she would end up bieng one of the ones on the bloopers part! I guess if that is her dream we should start her in some seriouse voice lessons! :) Who knows, maybe she will be America's next American Idol (and of course America's best dressed American Idol)

Cousins
This weekend Alexa and I went to Blanding. It is so nice to be home and hang out with everyone. sometimes I feel isolated up here so far away from my family.
Alexa had a blast, she loves to play with her cousins. It's nice for her to be able to have friends to play with every once in a while. I'm pretty sure that Alexa's favorite thing about hanging out with Little Worthy, is that they are both VERY good at bieng loud. she enjoys having someone she can run around with and scream with. Katie bug continues to amaze me at how good she is at reading, she was Alexa's personal story reader for a while, and when we left their house that night, she said "mom, can kate read me my bed time story?" I love that she has cousins to play with and look up to.

Our Little Ball Of Personality
The weather has been so nice here this weekend, it is finally starting to feel like spring. It was such a nice day on Sunday, that we decided to take Alexa to the Zoo. She had a blast. She was bieng hilariouse because almost every animal we stopped at she would ask "where is it's mom and dad?" she was very concerned for the animals because none of them had a mom or dad with them. Finally, towards the end of the trip, she decided that if they did not have a mom or dad, then they must all be in love. We were looking at the rhinoceros' and she turns to me and says "mom, are they in love? I bet they kiss all the time!" It continues to amaze me how much personality she has for being such a little girl.

Well, I look forward to blogging with ya'll
