TAKING A GANDER AT AGING ALEXANDER

Today, August 13th, our first grandson turns 11 years old. Here's some pictures that make us realize just how fast time flies by. It doesn't seem that long ago that he was this cute little almost-bald-headed, blue-eyed-baby boy.

His first haircut tickled his nose.

Cute cousin picture. When Alex was born, Addy was almost 2 and all she could say was, "Addy hold baby. Addy hold baby."

One year birthday party at Daddy Trevor's house.
He liked the cake! Too cute for words.
Preschool at Maple Lawn.

First Halloween, a bee.

4 year old fireman.

9 year old Ninja.

He has always been a good helper for his mom.

He likes all kinds of sports. He has been doing martial arts since he was 6.

He likes baseball, Ryan coached the team.
Fishing. Actually he likes "catching" the fish better than just fishing.

Basketball.

Golf. Ryan gave him his own set of clubs.
Bowling. He gets a pretty high score and can really send that ball down the alley.
Soccer. Fall and Spring.

Swimming and anything to do with water.
Video games. Are they a sport? Yes they are, the way Alex plays them-with determination.
He loves his dog, Coda.
And he really enjoys science.

He loves spending time with his dad.

And he is the best big brother that anyone could have. Payton and Owen and Kelsey (Trevor's daughter) absolutely adore him and he is so kind and nice to them.

We All love you soooooooo much!!

You have grown up to be such a nice young man and we are proud of you.

Happy Birthday Alleyboy! Love, grandma and grandpa
