Seat Belt Pictures

Here are a few cute Seat Belt pictures I found

Paradew America

This weekend my WHOLE family was in Parade America. Lexi and I passed out candy and promoted seat belt safety.

It was wonderful weather and such a fun family time!

Dinner with Kristen Armstrong

I had the opportunity to have dinner with Olympic Gold Medalist Kristen Armstrong. She spoke about what makes us a Gold Medal winner. Amazing lady who never stopped trying until she got her GOLD!

Lexi in her Crown and Sash

Lexi was so excited to get her crown and sash. She couldn't wait to wear it to school to share with her classmates the importance of buckling up!

The Tomorrow Show

I am hosting a 10 min. segment each Saturday about Seat Belt Awareness on Public TV. Here is a picture with Alishia on set.

Lexi's track meet

Lexi had her track meet where she placed 1st in all three of her events! I am such a proud momma!!!
She ran the 4x100 relay, the 200 and the 600 meter and she will tell you the 600 meter is her favorite!

This was an all city track meet for the 4th and 5th graders in the school district. She can now brag she is the fast 5th grade girl!  And if you check out the YouTube video of her 600, I'd say she is the fast 5th grader.

Lexi ran the 600 in 2 min and 4 seconds, she was 12 seconds ahead of the next runner
