This is Stephenie, aka "Madame Secretary", Senior Class Secretary at Kearns High.
Being involved in Student Government is a big responsibility and takes a lot of time, but there are also perks such as free entrance to school sporting events, reduced fees for dances etc. Mom and Dad are hoping it will also help out when applying for college scholarships!
Last night we were discussing the different types of honors she wants to get so as to add special cords or collars to her graduation gown. Whoooah, slow down! It is still September, right? I'm afraid this year is going to go by way too fast.
Here is Steph before the homecoming dance. Unfortunately I was at work when she left so I didn't get to see her. (Which also unfortunately means Dad was left to the picture taking and only got two shots!) Regardless, she looks stunning and L'il bro must have thought so also. Steve said when Alex saw her he kept gasping and saying, "Ohhh, preeeetttty!" Hopefully she's having a great time tonight at the dance.
As I've mentioned before, Alex loves the movie Polar Express and as he gets older he gets really excited over trains. When we were on vacation, we took him to a cute place in Sonoma called Train Town.
This little train takes you through several wooded acres and stops partway through at a petting zoo. The exciting thing for Alex was when the conductor came and punched his ticket just like in the movie Polar Express.
Grandma is a "soft touch" as she says, and bought Alex this little toy train and adorable hat. It was so fun to watch him, he was in awe.
He also got to ride the carousel a couple times and loves to watch the video of himself which he calls "horsies and Poo Pess" (Polar Express)
One happy little guy!
Pretty dang cute, eh? This is what happens when you are a two year old with a teenaged sister...believe it or not this is a fashion statement. (The glasses with the lenses missing). Steph refers to it as "geeked up". Pretty fitting description. Along with being aware of the latest fashion trends, Alex is also known to randomly quote lines from rap songs..."Get out my face!" or "You a jerk"! If you think that's bad, let me tell you what Steph taught him last night. He pulled up his shirt and said, "Look at me titties!" Of course Steph laughed hysterically so it just encourages him!
