Double Digits

My baby turns 10 today. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago that he was a baby like the one he his holding.
Last night, we went to Red Robin for his birthday dinner and Cris and I each told him ten things we love about Alex. One of mine is how he is so sweet with older people and little children - especially this cute baby. He has always had a special place in his heart for his great grandparents and always took the time to talk with them and give plenty of hugs.
He is such a huge help to me - especially when Cris is out of town. He knows when I need him to step in and redirect Syd. He comes down every morning dressed for school and immediately starts his chores. Love that about him! He has really enjoyed the fourth grade (he has 11 days left) and is full of facts about Idaho from his Idaho History studies. He recently earned his Bear in Cub Scouts and is excited about Webelos. This week he has an orchestra concert and his first piano recital. I rarely have to remind him to practice piano and although he won't admit it, he enjoys it and is pretty good for having only played 4 months.
Alex and Zach have set a goal to compete in a kids triathlon in Emmett this summer. We are excited for summer to begin so we can practice our swimming, running and biking. Hopefully, it will warm up and stay warm really soon. We are so thankful for Alex's sense of humor (mini Cris) and the joy he brings to our family. Happy Birthday Alex!

I can think of 10 things I like about Alex . . . all 10 of his fingers that play the piano!! So happy for him! (But I guess he didn't tell you he invited me on Wed to come for cake today for his "party." I'll try not to be offended that we never got the call to come over. ; )

Michelle - your invite got lost in the mail!! I copied you and made a killer ice cream cake. I have a feeling it will be a tradition.
