Alexis celebrated her eleventh birthday yesterday! Birthdays are very exciting happenings at our home. Everyone was up at the crack of dawn ready to open presents – Alexis probably woke everyone up! It is fun to celebrate the birth of one we love so much and count our blessings that she gets to live with us in our family. We learn much from Alexis and she helps make our home and the world a better place.
Here are eleven things that happened on her 11th birthday:
1. Woke up to open some fun gifts.
2. Was surprised and loved her very own hair dryer.
3. Chose to eat German Pancakes for breakfast.
4. Helped Stephen get a load of gravel for under our playground.
5. Happy to talk to Grandpa and Grandma Baldwin on the phone.
6. Was excited her Uncle Scott remembered her birthday and called from Texas.
7. Went swimming in the little canal and muddy pond at our house with dad, Mason, and Lily.
8. Washed her hair and used her new hair dryer.
9. Performed in her first gymnastic recital and had a fabulous time – she really enjoys it and is anxious to learn more and get even better (she started nine weeks ago and is very close to doing a back handspring on her own!).
10. Chose to go eat dinner with her mom and dad at Subway(just us three – oops and sleeping JT), instead of having a party.
11. Blew out all eleven candles, and ate a piece of birthday cake at 10 ‘o clock at night!
She was also very excited to get to see and talk to Grandpa and Grandma Parker on Friday via Skype. She will cherish the special email they sent her!
Alexis is growing into a fine young lady. We are very proud to call her our daughter!

Alexis, thank for being such a wonderful partof our family. We are pleased with the way you are growing. We love to visit with you either by phone, email, in Orem, and especially in Rexburg. Just think, when your grandparents (both Parker and Baldwin) finish their missions you will be in Young Women’s. You are growing up fast.
