Today was Alexis' birthday! Hooray, she's finally eight! She's been looking forward to this day for so long, and she's so excited to be baptized soon. We have her baptism scheduled for Saturday, October 24th. Grandma and Grandpa Post aren't able to come, but we're looking forward to having Grandma and Grandpa Smith and Great Grandma and Grandpa Salmon here for it.For Alexis' birthday we had a "tea" party on Saturday. She and her friends got to dress up; then they each painted a tea cup and saucer and had lunch. 
After lunch we sang "Happy Birthday" and had cake and ice cream. The cake, invitations, plates, etc. were all Hannah Montana themed. We even had Hannah Montana music playing, which every little girl at the table knew all the words to. It was kind of relieved to see that my daughter isn't the only one infatuated with Hannah Montana.
Then today after school I took all the kids over to the mall and let Alexis pick out some stuff at Clair's (she was given a gift certificate by her best friend Sydney). 
After that we got a small treat at Candy Craze, a new outfit for her dog at Build-A-Bear and then went to Chuck E. Cheese to play games for a little bit before dinner. Alexis' dinner request was pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and after dinner she got to go on a little daddy/daughter date with Jordan. Throughout all of the afternoon and evening activities Alexis was sure to tell anyone who would listen that today was her eighth birthday!
As a bonus I'll include a copy of the poem I wrote for Alexis in order to try to win a free birthday party for her at Jump Zone. It's nothing fancy, but she enjoyed it!
Ode to Alexis
Alexis Post is turning eight
Her family really thinks she's great!
Oldest of four, she helps out a lot
Playing with and reading to the younger tots
She's an excellent student who works very hard
In class and on assignments she goes the extra yard.
Alexis loves to sing, play piano, and dance
Wants to be Hannah Montana--just give her the chance!
We love you Alexis, as a daughter and sista',
Love Mom, Dad, Spencer, Dallin and Trista!
Happy Birthday Alexis! We love you so much!

What a great poem! Is the contest over already? If not you should have a great chance at winning! Happy Birthday Alexis!!!
Happy birthday Alexis. Sounds like you had a good and fun birthday party. Vicky, nice poem (almost as good as Brad's haiku!).
Wow great poem...and you didn't win? So I definitely need to work on living closer, that would be fun and then I'd have a tennis buddy. Can't wait to hit the court with you one of these days.
Happy B-day Alexis.
Happy birthday to me! I think the poem that my mother wrote to me was awsome! On Tuesday I got to stand on my chair at school because my teacher Mrs.Dake was so sorry that she forgot to tell the whole class to sing happy birthday to me so she allowed me to stand on my chair in the class room. (P.S. She's really nice.)
Birthday are always fun. Great family times. Great back ground!
Very cute poem and Happy Birthday to Alexis. Can't wait for the baptism
Tag! you're it!
