Shooting Stars

February 8, 2023

Samantha’s basketball season has also come and gone…and we built a lot of character this season! ha! Her team only won 2 games and finished 13th out of 13 teams. But, they hustled, learned a few things, and had some good fun. That’s what its all about!

One of the girls that was was supposed to be on her team was never able to play due to an injured foot so they only had 6 players all season but those 6 gave it their all! 2nd grade basketball is funny because the defenders can’t come out of the box – so the only play is to dribble to the side, play defense on offense to block the defenders, and shoot from the side of the goal. Samantha got pretty good at that shot! She played with a ton of hustle and grit and I got lots of pics of her jumping up in the air to make that shot!! I love to watch that blonde ponytail swing!

I was so proud of how hard she played every game. She showed up and gave it her all, that’s for sure. She’s a good little ball handler and I think there might be some more basketball in her future.

I sure do love to watch her play whatever sport she’s playing – and I know GJ does too!

Basketball

February 7, 2023

Another basketball season has come and gone! Maxwell’s team didn’t quite have the talent and skill that his team had last year! They ended the season near the bottom and got out in the first round of the playoffs but that’s ok. Maxwell played great and made some really good plays along the way. He even hit a few 3 pointers! I think these are the only pictures I got from his season on the Tulane Green Wave…

Not only has Maxwell been camping out a lot but he’s been earning merit badges and doing service hours.

These boys did a nice job cleaning up the nature trail at school to earn some hours!

Maxwell and two other scouts from his troop completed one part of the hiking merit badge in December by going on a 20 mile hike!! Whoa!! It took them about 12 hours but they did it! Very, very proud of this accomplishment. That’s hiking a marathon!

In November they had Court of Honor where Maxwell was recognized for earning several merit badges and Tenderfoot rank.

Not only is Maxwell involved in scouts, but I am now as well! Yep, I’m the new Scout Mom. Well, my official title is “Troop Chairman” and it’s turning out to be quite a job! I love it though…anything for my favorite 12 year old. I’m so proud of him!
