Well since March is almost over I thought it might be time to update the rest of February :)

February was busy busy but lots of fun. Matt and I were able to get away for a few days to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Lexi had her birthday and was in a school musical so she had lots and lots of practices after school.

Lexi turned 7 on the 17th. She was been really excited to turn 7. I really don't know what she thinks magically happens at 7 ?? I guess it just sounds so much older than 6... Lexi had a fun fun birthday . She really wanted to go bowling so after school we took her bowling. We went to this place by our house and they had a special where you just had to pay for your shoe rental . Then we went to pizza with Grandma and Grandpa Drown and she got more presents. She had her friend party on Friday night. She had her list of people she wanted to invite. Lexi wanted to invite all the girls in her class to her party. She has 12 girls in her class which I told her maybe half would come but 10 out of 12 came . I think we counted like 22 kids at the party but a couple of kids came late. When her friends would show up they would hug each other and jump up and down and were so excited to see each other. It was also fun to put a face with these girls that Lexi talks about. She is our little social butterfly. We also had to tease her about her little friend Mason that she had to invite. She would come home from school and talk about this Mason and we thought it was her friend Mason up the street well it wasn't. Mason turned out to be a boy and she HAD to invite him. She was really excited when he showed up. They we're always sitting by each other and she had to open his present first. It was pretty funny but if you tease her about him she gets all red in the face and gets very embarrassed . She got lots and lots of Barbies and webkinz and a really cool candy maker and other fun things.. The kids had lots of fun. It was pretty crazy for a couple of hours. Her cousins and her friend Jennifer spent the night and they had fun watching movies and eating LOTS and LOTS of popcorn and just being silly. On Sunday she had another party at Grandma Sue's and got lots of fun stuff. She was really excited about her new cd's (Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus) that Paula and Aunt Jenn had gotten her. My mom got her a new cd player for her birthday so she was all ready to go. She had been having lots of fun listening to her new cd's and counting how many cd's she has. So it was just one big birthday celebration all week which is what usually seems to happen that way. Another birthday come and gone and another year older. Really how do they get so big so quickly?? She is growing up too quickly but it's fun also. She has changed so much in the past year. She is a good kid and so much fun. We love you Lexi Lou!!
