Girls Birthdays

We love October at our house. Lizette's birthday is October 10th. Lexi's is October 9th. And now Luke on October 2nd. However, with Luke's birth this year the girls' birthdays sort of had to be a low key affair. They were okay with that. They did just get the best present ever after all. 

Lexi turned five this year! At five she is full of spunk. She loves to read. Loves her gymnastics class. LOVES her little brother and is a very sweet, caring little girl. She is so helpful to me and such a reliable little girl. I love that quality about her. No matter what, I can always count on her to do what I ask without much complaint. She is so easy going. She is also the one in the family who is always making us laugh. She comes up with so many funny one liners and witty remarks all the time. I'm constantly posting them on Facebook so I don't forget them. The other day I asked her if she was finished with her dinner. She just gave me a big smile and said, "I don't know. Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not." It's always stuff like that that just make me laugh. Love this girl!

Lizette turned the big eight this year! I can't believe she is getting to be so grown up! She is a strong willed, independent young lady. Smart, thoughtful and so helpful. She loves her dance class and is so talented in it. She works hard at it and has a natural grace about her that is fun to watch. I've noticed one quality about her since she has started into dance and since we've begun homeschooling. She is competitive and wants to excel at everything she does. It's not necessarily that she loves the work or loves school or anything. She just wants to know that she is at the top of her game in whatever she is doing.  :-) She is beginning to get out of the little girl stage a bit which I'm not so crazy about. She doesn't love the dolls as much anymore and wants a phone now. Jeff gave her one of our old phones that she can text on and she loves it. She texts her family only at this point but it's a little crazy to see my girl texting! This was the big year of her baptism which I will post about later. She was very excited for this birthday for that reason. Love our Lizette!
