Quest night at the Texas Stars game!

Lexi was chosen to be part of the Quest gifted and talented program for the Leander school district. She will get to be part of this program until she graduates from high school. They do so many fun and wonderful things with the children. I'm thankful she has the opportunity to be part of this program. Her teacher has such a love for all the children she teaches!! We love Mrs. Conner!

Lexi loves Quest, and gets to go twice a week with a couple other kids in her class. The next project they are working on is a research project, and they have to present these in front of other people. She chose to do hers on Indiana:) she wanted to do Indiana because this is where she was born!!

To qualify for the Quest program they test all kids, and based on their IQ level, and other tests they administer to all kids in her school, she qualified. Only 90 kids in the whole school qualify, so she's very lucky to have this opportunity. We are really proud of her, and we feel so blessed to be her parents. She truly makes us so proud, and we love her so much. Cody and I have been the ones blessed to have her in our home.
Lexi has been working on a hockey player made from garbage! She came up with her hockey player all on her own, and when we saw it we blown away with how creative she got with it!! She was so proud of it, and they displayed the hockey players at the Professional hockey game! We got to go as a family to the game, and also to see all the hockey players displayed!! The hockey team in Austin is called the Texas Stars! Lexi's teacher made everyone star shirts... including Berkley:)
It was such a fun night, and the kids loved it!! Every time the Stars would score a really loud horn would blow! Korver would cover his ears every time! It was hilarious!
Trey wanted to take selfies of himself with everyone else:) he's so cute!! It was a fun night together.

I LOVED your hockey player. You did a great job! I wondered what the star shirts were when I was there. What a cute picture. Hockey games are fun. Lexi, I am so proud of you that you have worked so hard to be a good student and that you qualified for the program. Keep up the good work!; January 26, 2014 at 6:25 PM

Lexi's Funny Moments

9/15/08- Lexi asked Cody if he had to go to work, and he said yes. He asked her why daddy has to work and she said, "because it takes a lot of money."
9/21/08-Lexi had her pretend cell phone out, when all of the sudden I hear her say "oh no I missed a call."
10/15/08-Lexi opened our front door and said "mommy, it smells like elephants out here." It did smell like cow poop outside pretty bad. I had to laugh.
10/23/08- Lexi is playing with her mr. potato head elmo doll. She puts on the mustache and says, "look mommy and daddy, he has a musmache." We couldn't stop laughing.
10/24/08-Lately when Lexi can't get Cody's attention she will first try daddy, and then she will say "hey Cody." She is getting pretty smart!
11/13/08-I asked Lexi if she wanted to go to preschool one day and she said "no, I just want to stay at home with you mommy."
11/13/08- Every night Lexi tells us the sprinkler is bothering her. Cody has to get up on her bed talk to the sprinkler on her ceiling and tell it to be nice so Lexi can go to sleep.
11/13/08-The other day Lexi wasn't up from her nap yet and Trey went to her door and layed by it. Whenever she isn't up he always goes over to her door and starts tapping on it.
