LEXIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you read that right, Lexie is the owner of a brand new black fifth generation Ipod nano. Now before you start freaking out and wondering why we would buy our eight-year-old daughter such an expensive toy when it isn't even her birthday or Christmas, she worked hard and saved her money and paid for over half of it by herself. When she came to us asking for an Ipod (about 6 months ago) we told her that she would need to save her money and pay for part of one by herself. Jake and I did some research and found out that you could get a refurbished Ipod nano from apple for a descent price and so we made a deal with Lexie that if she earned half of the money we would pay the other half and she could get a refurbished fourth generation nano. After she started working and saving so much she decided, all on her own, that she wanted to earn all the money and pay for it herself (you go girl) and just as she was almost there apple went and did away with the fourth generation nanos and came out with the new ones. Needless to say she was disappointed. Well since she had worked so hard, Jake and I decided that we would go back to our original agreement and help her out. She gave us all that she had saved and we paid the rest for a brand new Ipod. I would say lucky girl but she worked to hard for it to be luck. Good job Lexie.
On a side note this is Lexie's super cute new haircut (thanks once again to Maren!!!!) The best part, she can do it all by herself.

Awesome! I love it when kids are willing to work hard for something they want. A couple of years ago Sara wanted to go to Europe with the high school and got a job at 15and earned enough money to go. So hold on. Lexi might be traveling the world before you know it!
