ball

You joined a basketball team. You got hit in the face on the first practice and never wanted to go back but you've attended 100% of your season without complaint.

I remember when you were a baby, just barely able to walk, you were in love with horses. We went to a family picnic and you wondered off, quite a ways away, and found some horses surrounded by an electric fence! When I spotted you I knew I couldn't get to you fast enough so Dad jumped on someone's 4-wheeler and raced to you before you touched the fence. You've always love to hide from me, while shopping, or run away from me in public...thinking it was a fun game. You've almost given me several heart attacks!

Alex, you are such a sweet girl. We were shopping at Walmart and you stopped the clerk and commented on how cute her earings were. You were only 3 years old at the time. You made our new neighbors' day when you ran up to her at the school and greeted her with a hug. She called me later that day and thanked me for raising such a loving girl. You are always looking out for others. I love you so much!
