Remember the Alamo

It has been 5 years since the boys had seen the Alamo and since then they both have learned about the Alamo and the battle in school.  So we decided to take a trip downtown to see it again.  And while we were there we also went to the IMAX theater and saw the movie about the Alamo.  Good weekend.

A Fifth Grader

This one is jumping into intermediate school with both feet.  He's going to a school that for the first time, no one knows him as the little brother.  His favorite subject is social studies and library.  He really doesn't like writing even though he is really good at it.  He is one of the few kids in his class who writes in cursive.  He was really nervous but he ran for Student Council and was elected as one of the 5th grade representatives.  He wants to join the yearbook staff, the bird watching club and the running club.  He is a Boy Scout now and is working on getting his Tenderfoot rank and he also loves being a alter server at church.

An Eighth Grader


Living back in Texas where he started school, it feels like there is no way he can be in eighth grade already.  He's growing up way too fast.  He's a good student in school and I always hear great things from his teachers.  He's settling into his routine at his new school well and making friends.  He's active in Boy Scouts and loves being an alter server at church.  He joined the robotics club this year at school and is looking forward to finding out what "competing" means.
