Milestone for Alex..

Alexandria, our eldest grandchild (of soon to be 17 grandchildren) turns 18 years old today. As you can see from these pictures, Alex has grown from an adorable little girl to a lovely young lady. She has always had a great since of humor, collects monkey parafanailia, is very bright and loving, and is a great writer. Alex will also be graduating from High School this month and will attend Idaho Jr. College in the fall. Her focus is on computer classes, like her Grandpa Ed, she wants to go into the Computer Science field. Like most kids her age, she is pretty good at computer graphics, etc.

Alex has a sister, Candace and a brother, Jordan. She likes to go out with her friends hiking and sometimes hunting, four-wheeling, school spirit events and works in her marketing class as the student store manager. Of course she is very close to her family, and she seems to have the most fun when we all get together to just visit or sit around a warm camp fire in our backyard. An avid music lover she can play the piano (not as well as she should, cause she won't practice), but maybe she will get serious someday...her favorite instrument right now is playing the drums when she plays Rock-Band. She is actually pretty good, and so far, no-one can beat her scores. All-in-all, she is a well rounded teenager who loves her family and friends and is excited about her future.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY our sweet Alex, we are so proud of you and love you very much!
