It’s hard to believe my oldest is 19! Where did the years go? I am so proud of the good person that Wesley has become. I am excited for his opportunity to serve a mission. I know that he will make a great missionary and bless many lives!
So this year was pretty crazy as far as Lacrosse goes. Connor played on the JV and Varsity teams, Rod coached the Freshman Team and Braden played on a club team. Braden’s team didn’t have a coach, so Rod ended up coaching Braden’s team too. Needless to say, it was way too much! Thankfully, Connor was able to help out with Braden’s team a lot after his surgery!
It is a lot of fun to watch Braden learn more and more about the game each season. Rod is glad that they have added another Lacrosse junkie to the family!
It sure is fun watching these three practice together. They even let Halle and Parker join in sometimes! Our backyard is the neighborhood place to practice lacrosse. Needless to say, we have way too many lacrosse sticks, lacrosse balls, and certainly too many indentations or holes caused from lacrosse balls!
So even though Wesley completed his Eagle requirements over a year ago, he was never awarded his Eagle. Somewhat due to time and definitely due to attitude! Finally with much insistence from the Scout Committee Chair, we convinced Wes to have a Court of Honor.
We are truly so proud of him. I know that I “encouraged” him through his whole scouting career to get his Eagle, but ultimately, it came down to Wesley and he did it!!
A big thank you to all those who came to support him. Thank you also to the Carters. (If Chandler hadn’t been getting his Eagle, I am not sure we could have ever convinced Wesley to have a Court of Honor.)
My three scouts! Can you tell which one has the attitude here? I am so thankful to Wes for the example that he has set for his brothers! Congrats!!
This Easter was great. I actually got a few of the traditions done! The kids had fun coloring hard boiled eggs and hunting Easter eggs.
This Spring Halle and Parker took swimming lessons. I was hoping to get Halle ready to swim on the swim team this summer. They both surprised me with how well they can swim.
It’s hard to believe that my youngest child has graduated Kindergarten! It was a day that I used to look forward to, but know I am not so sure. I hate that my baby is growing up, but I am so happy with the person he is becoming.
Parker is such a sweet and loving child. His sensitive side keeps us on our toes. He likes to make us laugh. He loves to play non-stop. He doesn’t like homework much, but he loves school. We are so proud of you, Parker! I can’t wait to see how great you are at first grade!
Parker and Halle love to play soccer! We spent six weeks going to practices and playing games on Saturday mornings. It was fun to watch how much they have each improved. Halle’s team has been playing together for three years. Thanks to her great coaches, the girls have learned so much. They were a lot of fun to watch.
