Most Improved

At the end of his Jr. Jazz season, Alex was awarded the "Most Improved" award. We were really proud of him and think he worked really hard.
And this is when you know you are getting old... This guy with Steve was the coach of the team that Alex played. Don was on Steve's basketball team for Joel P. Jensen Middle School back in 1995. It was Steve's first ever coaching gig. Don now is married with 4 kids. Yes, we are getting old.
This is Alex's latest craze. He likes to watch Michael Jackson videos on YouTube and mimic them. He did a performance to Beat It at our family get together yesterday and was not the least bit shy. He's been practicing this pose a lot where Michael goes up on his toes. Notice the black church shoes... an essential part of Alex's M.J. costume.
We had a family dinner yesterday since it had been quite a while since we'd all been together. It worked out quite nicely that it just happened to be my birthday and my sister, knowing it's my absolute favorite, made me the most scrumptious cheesecake. The cousins have a great time whenever they are together, Alex was in seventh heaven.

as always, I love, love, love your blog. Alex looks like a confident basketball player, notice the thumbs up? Can't wait to see the Michael Jackson video. Then the picture of so many of my beautiful grandchildren. Thanks.
P.S. Steve's basketball player resembles a young Hugh Jackman.
