Noah's LAX Season

After spending every Tuesday night for 3 months during the winter at a Lacrosse clinic, we were anxious to see how Noah would do in the LAX spring season. He was still a little timid on the field but seemed to know what he was doing and was definitely more involved in fighting for the ball. He was on a good little team and it was fun to watch them play!

Number 9 is mine!

Fighting for that ball!

His team made it to the playoffs and the first round was really exciting! Some of my favorite pictures from that game.

By this point Noah was getting really good at battling for the ball.

A little help from the ref.

Congratulating their teammate who scored the winning goal!

And on to the next round!

Although his team didn't make it to the championship, his team did a great job and had some very exciting goals. I was especially proud of Noah and how well he played throughout the season. In the last game he even did some awesome checks on the other players. He came off saying that he couldn't wait until next season because of how much fun LAX is...but that has since changed and I think this was his final season playing lacrosse. Oh, well.

Xander's Spring Sports

From April to June Xander's Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday nights were busy with sports! He decided to give flag football a try and really enjoyed it. He was on a team with several of his football buddies and they pretty much beat up on most of the other teams.

On offense he mainly played center.

Every once in awhile he got a ball thrown to him. He didn't always catch it...

But there were plenty of times he did and he even scored a few touchdowns for his team.

Tuesdays and Thursdays were baseball nights.

Another year spent improving his skills and having some fun!

Noah's Field Day and Art Show

It was an absolutely gorgeous day for Noah's field day! It's crazy to think this is my very last one. Noah is always very enthusiastic about all the different activities.  The bean toss -

pushing that tire -

and running with a chicken, ha ha!

Bouncing a ball while running -

and one of his favorites, the bouncy ball!

I absolutely love this picture of him!

It was only a matter of time...

And how long will it take him to fall during the sack race?

Not long.

And he's back up!

Ring toss,

hangin' with friends,

and a much needed water break.

Back to the ball carrying,

running,

and balancing an egg.

Oops!!!

It takes a lot of concentration.

These kids have so much energy!!

Taking a little time out to do the hula hoop.

This kid hates soccer but he didn't do too bad on the dribbling. Must be soccer camp!

A few more activities to finish off the fun afternoon,

including a favorite - carrying the torch!

Oh, Noah! He's such a goof and so full of life!

The kids all claim to hate this one but it seems to bring out the most laughter from all of them.

It was such a fun afternoon watching my Noah!

Later that day, after school, Noah and I headed back up to the school for the Art Show. I was so excited to see what artwork Noah had on display.

This year they also had a few paintings that the kids could pose in. Hilarious!
