Buckle up, this may be a long one...
When Alex and I sit down to a rockin' session of Rock Band on the XBOX, he must first enter his Gamer Name which is, appropriately, 'Alex Rocks'. Alex as a wonderful son, excellent brother, and surprisingly, one of my very best friends!
One usually chooses friends based on common interests. When I think back on my best buddies over the years, I think of all the people that shared my hobbies and past-times.
Well, today, Alex is pretty much my best friend...
I think most of you reading this have younger kids, but you will know what I am talking about down the road when your kids get older. As a parent of young children, we are so busy keeping the kids ALIVE, we often don't have opportunities to share common hobbies or interests. We are always doing what THEY want to do. Well finally, with Alex, this is beginning to change. We are now doing activities that WE want to do! And it is very exciting!
For example, my favorite thing to do in the world is go Snowboarding! Alex has recently begun joining me on the slopes as a skier. This is Alex's second season and he can really tear it up! He is going to be a great ski partner!
We love playing XBOX for our one hour of TV time a day. We totally rock out together!
We love BYU Sports! He watches every minute of every game with me and we enjoy attending most of the events!
We like to read together. We are currently on book 4 of the Potter series. We have a great time.
We love playing sports, camping, river rafting, and hiking in the great outdoors. He has a lot of courage and is ready to take on any adventure right by my side!
There are many more activities that we share, but the bottom line is I am grateful for such a great son and even better friend. I look forward to many wonderful years of fun together! Alex, you definitely ROCK!

I love the muscle shot!!! :-)
I said the same thing in my Favorite Quote entry- I don't know if you read that one. But it really is surprising how your kids become your Best Friends- I can't wait until Cessna is into even more things that I am into, and Lance too.
Great entry- loved the photos too!

Sweet as in awwwwww.
This posts makes me look forward to even more fun times with my kiddos!! You wonder what it will be like when they are older and you helped me figure that out!
You are one big Girl Matt! And I think I'm in love.. You are Precious..
