Grant's Baseball team

Grant's Basketball Season

Such a great basketball season for our little buddy, Grant!

Elevation Volleyball

 So exciting to watch Olivia play volleyball up at the net.  She has grown so much as a player and her hard work and dedication to the sport has payed off!

Jack's Basketball Season

Jack had his first experience for playing a sport for his school!  He just finished his third grade basketball season and he was a beast on the court.  Never came out of any single game.  He plays with his whole heart and hustles like crazy.  A rebounding machine and a great teammate bringing so much excitement and support on the court!  I love watching this kid on the court.  All heart and gives it 100% effort every single game!

We couldn't be more proud of Olivia #16!  She is putting in all the hard work and extra training to become the best she can be.  Her coach adores her and says she is the most improved player on the team and is now the "pillar of the team!"  Olivia can't get enough of the sweet feeling of success!  She is learning the power of hard work and positive attitude.  She is rocking it.  She is the team setter but her coach said she is going to train her to be an outside hitter before next years tryouts.  She also thinks Olivia should try our the 12 year old team instead of the 11 year old team.  She believes in Olivia and is pushing her to new levels!  Coach Amanda has built into our daughter so much and we couldn't be more grateful!

Volleyball for Olivia

Olivia is playing her first team sport through her school!  It's been so much fun for her to wear her Titan uniform and play with her classmates!  Their team unity and spirit is amazing!  It's fun to watch!  It's going to be a great season of volleyball for Olivia!

Moeller sports camp

Future Crusaders enjoying the Moeller sports camp. It's from 9 AM to 2 PM every day. It's a huge commitment and the longest Grant has ever been gone but these two love it.
They feel proud to be at the same school their uncles and grandpa graduated from.

Grant's soccer team

Grant had his first soccer game last night. He is on the same team as he was last year with his little buddies. He has improved so much since last year. Last season he would run off the field and want to sit on my lap. This season he doesn't want to sit out a quarter and is very goal hungry. He has the eye of the tiger out there on the field.

 

 

 

Cowboys

Pa and Jack have a standing date every Tuesday afternoon!  Pa picks up Jack from our house and they head over to Kubicki Stables for joint horse back riding lessons!  It started out as Jack taking lessons but then my dad decided to brush the dust off his cowboy boots and saddle and join the fun!

These two have so much in common and it is so special they can share a hobby together!   Great bonding time and making memories together!

Jacks flag football

What a great season of flag football for Jack!  They just competed in the end of season turkey bowl at the Paul Brown Stadium today! And they WON the entire tournament.  1st place!  You should see the size of their trophy!  And since Conger Construction Group sponsored the tournament - We came home with the trophy!  Jack feels like he won the superbowl!  What a great season!  We are so glad we made the decision to do the flag football instead of tackle football.  We didn't feel it was necessary!

My cowboy!

Thanks to Pa Rummler, Jack has been able to pick up his horseback riding lessons again! His stable from last year was not offering lessons again this fall so we had to start from scratch. We found a new stable (kubiki equestrian stable) which is a whole lot closer for us to travel to!  So it's a win-win situation. Pa takes Jack on Tuesdays for a 45 minute private lesson on a beautiful horse named, Patch.

I tagged along yesterday and was able to watch Jack in all of his glory.  He even trotted a little bit yesterday on the horse.  He seems nervous yet comfortable at the same time.

It's so rewarding for me to see my son have such a passion in his life!  He loves horseback riding!  

Warms my heart!

Before the lesson begins Jack has to groom his horse.

He is wearing his new cowboy boots he received for Christmas.

You look so grown up on this horse, Jack!

Olivia's first softball game

Today was Olivia's very first softball game!  

She picked up the sport this fall and we are giving soccer a little breather.  

So far she is enjoying the change of pace.

She has been performing really well at practices.  She seems eager to learn and to be coached.  Her dad even helps out which makes her feel special!

Today was her first game.  It didn't go as she saw fit.

Her nerves got the best of her.

She struck out both times at bat.  

She walked off the field holding back tears.  She felt like a failure after many great hits at practice.  

It stung.

I reminded her that this was her very first game and she will improve with each game and practice.  

We talked in the car ride home about her first soccer game & her first swim meet and how those weren't her best performances either.  It takes practice and dedication to pick up a brand new sport.

She seemed motivated after our talk and is eager to get back on the fields.  

That's our girl!  

A fighter!

Way to go Olivia!  

Your first softball game is in the books and your jitters are out!  

Things will only improve from here!  Looking forward to a great season ahead!
