Beau’s First Muckdog Speech

After each Muckdog tournament the players, coaches and parents gather to listen to the coaches say a few words about each of the players. Beau has been joining the group for quite a few tournaments now and always gets a “thank you for coming out and supporting us” shout out but today coach called him up for the first time. He will be a player on the roster in September and cannot wait!!!…….and neither can we!

Cole on his knee watching and listening so politely. :)

Proud Little Brother

This boy makes my heart smile. He is the best, proud little brother that any brother on this planet could ever dream of. He tags along and watches more baseball games and practices than any 5 year old we know with zero complaining. He wants to be just like Beau! He worries about Beau first and foremost and himself second and it is so amazing to me. There are times that I feel like I need to be prepared for a whine or a fit about something we are doing but I have yet to see that day! Beau is so lucky and blessed to have Cole as his little brother. We could not be any more pleased and proud of Cole’s satisfaction and tolerance of “little brother’hood.”
Love you buddy!

the CUTEST! After each Muckdog tournament the kids take a knee and listen to the coaches say a few words about the games and the players. Cole in the back, holding his hat, sunglasses off for eye contact and on a knee. So adorable! He calls himself a Muck”pup.”

Cole Swimming

Cole is picking up on swimming so well. We are getting the biggest kick out of it and are so proud of him. I love that my boys love the water like I do.

Cheers To Mrs. Lamaestra

Education is the key to success in life
and teachers make a lasting impact in
the lives of their students.

How this is happening so fast? Beau completed 2nd grade today!! He had the most amazing teacher in the world that he absolutely adored, Mrs. Lamaestra. He prayed and prayed he would get to be in her class last summer and his prayers were answered, as were ours. He LOVED her and so did we. You just know when a teacher is teaching because she loves to teach and loves the kids genuinely as if they were her own and she’s that teacher. She gave Beau so much encouragement and confidence and he learned so much this year. He is so sad to leave her class and is going to miss her terribly! We are confident that he is ready for 3rd grade in August and it comes with the love and support from Mrs. Lamaestra this year! We appreciate her so much and cannot thank her enough for all that she taught Beau this year. We will pray that Cole will have the opportunity to be in her class when he’s in 2nd grade! Thank You for an amazing school year Mrs. Lamaestra!

Math Wizard

Beau had his end of the year assembly today and received an award for Math Wizard. He is doing so well in school and we could not be more proud of him. He is bummed that the year is about done but really looking forward to 3rd grade as well. He continues to impress us with his dedication to learning. We are so blessed and grateful!

A Fish Named Cole

Cole started back at swim lessons today and by the end of his class the teacher decided he was way to advanced for her class and skipped him ahead. He is now with kids Beau’s age and feels pretty cool about that. We could not be happier with his progress.
