Happy Birthday Lex!!!


My sweet Lexi Louski Miss MaGooski turned 9 yesterday!
You know when your kids are little and older ladies say "Enjoy every minute with your kids... they grow up so fast!" ? Well, I was a person who had 4 kidlets in 5 years and couldn't help wondering if the day would ever come when I wouldn't have to change diapers! Well... it's so true... my kids are growing up WAY too fast!Lexi turning 9 blows my mind! I swear she was born a couple years ago.
Lexi was such an easy baby, and I was so thankful! She was a 'surprise' and the timing of her coming to our family was a challenge. Shortly after she was born I knew why she needed to be here when she did.She was the third and last grandchild Mike's mom was able to enjoy before she passed away. She was (and still is) a lot like her Grandma-in-heaven. Her face structure, her beautiful dark hair, her full heart, her ability to love unconditionally, and her quiet and soft-spoken manner.
She was Cori's best friend the minute she was born! Her and Cori were the cutest little peas in a pod.Lexi is so creative and loves making things. She has amazing artistic abilities and has a gift for writing and storytelling.
This past year her teacher was constantly telling me how impressed she was with her. She has unbelievable cursive writing and amazing projects.She was at a basketball camp last week where she came in first place in 'speed'! She's a defensive wonder... like glue on her opponent!
I just love her sweet and sensitive heart. Even if her sensitivity makes life a little more difficult... I pray she stays that way.
Happy Birthday Lex... thanks for everything you bring to our family! I can't imagine my life without your sweetness in it!
