Alexander's 11th Year He finished up the 3rd grade in elementary school. Darin started school. We had a fun filled summer at the pool. We went to ship island again which wasn't the same as last summer due to the oil spill. We also took the kids tubing. they loved that ! Alex went into the 4th grade and started middle school. Middle school has been a whole new ball game pretty hard. We been working hard with him. Alex's video game addiction has gotten out of control this year, but we are working on that. He has become pretty sassy ! Has a answer for everything making me wonder if this is what 10 & 11 is like what will the teen age bring. He also ran into a pole at school and busted his teeth and we learned he will need braces next summer. We book his 11th birthday party at a local bowling alley for early april ! He is also signed up for Baseball for the coming spring !
