First Basket

Blake loves playing basketball! Most of the time he just has a blast running up and down the court. Haha. He always has fun encouraging his friends and getting his energy out. He is known to be a little timid around the ball. He LOVES dribbling it up the court but I think he gets a little overwhelmed when he gets close to the basket. It's like 6 year old chaos the closer it gets to the hoop!

The game yesterday was a little different though.... Blake's friend Alex passed him the ball while Blake was right under the hoop. He caught the ball and then took his shot.... AND HE MADE IT! I was SO excited for him and was cheering from the stands - which Blake would say is embarrassing. Haha. Blake shrugged it off like it was nothing, but I know on the inside he was super pumped. He got a lot more confident with driving the ball to the basket after that too!

I have said it before and I will say it again - I love watching Blake play sports. It makes me so happy! I will always be your biggest fan, buddy!

Hello, 2019

2018 is over and we are jumping into 2019!

2018 was a great year! We had lots of exciting moments and adventures...

• Obviously the favorite adventure was DISNEY!!! That was a blast.
• I am so proud for Blake stepping up and trying a new baseball league. He conquered some really tough moments while hanging with the big kids. 
• We survived kindergarten and started 1st great. I finished my 8th year of teaching and started my 9th.
• We welcomed a  new friend into our family... maybe more on him later :) 
• We traveled to the beach and the mountains.
• We went to see baseball games.

And our lows from 2018 would be losing Papa and just recently, Roxie. We miss them so much!

I am still a big fan of New Years Resolution. I love to make goals and try to achieve them. Sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't... but its all about trying to be a little better each day. :)

• This year we have some goals and adventures we would love to accomplish...
• We are going to try to learn about service and do some service projects together.
• I would love for us to travel to Great Wolf Lodge again, the beach, and the mountains (Boone). I hope we can make those work out! 
• I'm personally working on being more active and getting physically in shape. 
• Blake is in the middle of his basketball season and he wants to play baseball again in the same league.
• Blake loves science... so I hope we can give him a few more science experiences. 
• Blake also got a guitar for Christmas! I think we are going to try to learn how to play a little! 
• We also want to value the important of friendships and relationships and continue to grow closer to our friends! :) 

I am excited about what 2019 will bring us! Stay tuned...
