i feel bad that i don't write a lot about alexis.

and then sometimes when i do, it's about bone-headed teenager stuff that she does.

and she really is a good girl and i love her so much.

so.

 a little bit about alexis.

she wakes up every morning (m-f) at 5:30 to leave for seminary at 6:15.

then it's off to school for her. school get's out and the girls have about half an hour to work on their homework and then it's off to cheer practice from 3-6.

once or twice a week, when they cheer at a wrestling match or basketball game, she comes home right after school, and then has to be back to school by 5 or 6.

she's a busy, busy bee!
see why she's often absent from family antic pictures?

she is 15 1/2 now, and in maryland you can get your drivers permit at 15 and 9 months, so she is working hard at finishing her young women in excellence award so she can get her permit.

(not sure i'm ready for that, but i'm trying to fake it till i make it!)

more fun facts

*alexis is fiesty and totally unafraid to stand up for herself or others if she feels they've been treated unfairly. she really should be an attormey!

*she is a total social butterfly! she is comfortable around pretty much anyone. teachers, leaders, coaches, smart kids, popular kids, athletes, she is sure of herself and able to relate to people, so much more than i ever was. (or even am now sometimes!)

*she hates to cook, loves to go out to eat, and totally convinced she can make it through life like that.

*she goes back and forth from wanting no kids, to wanting to be a mama. :)

*she wants to be a counselor, which i think she would be wonderful at.

*she wants to "go away for college, but somewhere close'ish so i can come visit the babies a lot."

*and as the little girls get older she's going to be the "best big sister ever!" you know, the one she wishes she had.

*she hates to read ("I mean really, who reads?!") but loves to read status updates. :)

*she loves chic flics. a true romantic, that one is.

(favorites are the notebook, remember me, and justin bieber movie)

*she is a good and loyal friend and really cares about people.

*she is smart and when she puts her mind to something, she can accomplish it!

*she does not have a sweet tooth. if she could choose any treat, it would still be hot cheetos.

(they have been the favorite for at least 10 years!)

*she is learning to control her emotions and her tongue. :)

*she loves bath and body works body splash and sprays at least 5 times before leaving the house for anything.

*she is a hypochondriac and there is always something wrong with her!

her latest (just yesterday!) was that she had to go to the dr. because she had put lotion on her hands and they were all red and itchy.
okay.

i love her and want her to be happy and succesful and good.
and so far she is. :)

**and just for the record, i wrote this before she made my cute valentines post of fb.

it just takes me awhile to finish things lately!
