Happy 4th Birthday Alexis!

Today my baby girl turns 4. She woke up this morning so happy and excited for her day. She has informed all of us that she is now 4 and that her a Casey are the same age. She's right they are the same age for one week. I still remeber when they told me I was having a girl. I was in shock, scared, and so excited at the same time. She has been a joy to have in our family. She brings out the girly side in all of us. She is full of energy and way to smart for her age. We love her so much. This morning she made this birthday crown. She says she will never take it off.

When she came downstairs this morning this is what she saw. Her brothers, her dad, and I wrote a bunch of things that we love about her on these hearts and stars. She loved it and can't stop asking me to tell her what they say.

I love it when she smiles. She has many different smiles but they are all so cute!

She loves her Grandma and if you can't tell she loves her picture taken too.

This is her and JD. He is one of hers most favorite persons in the world. This is just before he left on his mission. They have a special bond and it is so much fun to watch them together. She loves him so much.

She never cried until his plane was leaving the airport. This is her after she let it all out. She kept saing "he's leaving me- who is going to call me Yetti (that is what JD called her always)- he's never coming back- I miss him- I love him". It was so sad to watch her say and go through all this. I have told her lots of times that he will be back and that he loves her. She misses you JD!

This is her next to JD's fb jersey. Sitting her she told me that she will never forget him and that she will let us know when we can call her Yetti (ofcourse only until JD comes home). Every morning she wakes up to his pic and says "Hi JD- I can't wait to see you again- I miss you- I love you!" Only 23 months to go.

This is her with her daddy. She loves this man more than anything. She lights up when she hears him come home. She gives him the biggest, tightest hugs. She always asks him if he wants kisses and then she points to his face and says "where? here-here-here and here" then she proceeds to kiss him all over his face. When we moved into this new house she wanted to share a room with Jay and told me that I would have my own room. I should of let them share a room because she ends up in our bed almost everynight and she sleeps right next to him. She really is a daddy's girl and I wouldn't have it anyother way.

This is her best friend and brother Casey. They are two peas in a pod. Trust me the can fight like cats and dogs but 2 seconds later they are laughing and having so much fun together. They help each other and never leave each others side. Having them so close can be tough at times but I wouldn't change it for the world.

She does love all her brothers and they adore her. They look out for her and protect her. I feel for all the boys that will fall for Alexis' because they have to get through not only her dad but these four brothers. She is their biggest fan. She cheers so loud for them at there games and loves to tell people that those are her brothers. She really doesn't like sleeping alone so she starts off in Bradys bed with him and then ofcourse ends up next to her daddy. I am so lucky to have four kids that all love each other so much.

Alexis loves spending time with her cousins. She has fun and loves them all!

Happy Birthday Lexi. We all love you so much. We are all so happy that you are part of our family forever. I feel so blessed to be her mommy and so grateful that I got my girl!
