Pirate Pride
Noah was once again this year given an outstanding student award at Pioneer Middle School. He was awarded for his academic excellence and excellent classroom behavior. We sure are proud of this kid!
And, oh my, look how he's changed since receiving the award last year!

League Tournament
Noah placed 4th in his weight class in the league tournament this past weekend. Quite an accomplishment for his first season of wrestling!
We made a decision as a family early on in the wrestling season that Noah would not wrestle any girls. We made this decision after much prayer, thought, and conversation. Noah, Mark and I were all in complete agreement. Noah had to forfeit his first match of the season because of it. And, then again at the tournament this weekend, he had to forfeit his last match for 3rd/4th place. Certainly, we were all bummed, but Noah did not waver in his decision and we were so proud of him for keeping a great attitude through it all!
Not only did he have a great attitude during the tournament, but he has had a great attitude all season, even though the learning curve for him was huge this year.
We are so proud of the young man that he is becoming, and are excited to see how the Lord is going to continue to grow him and use him.

Cole's First Basketball Game
Cole is playing basketball for the first time. He is on a co-ed kindergarten/1st grade team, and they had their first game last night. So, so cute! Quite entertaining, to say the least! Cole was totally amazing and scored four points. He's super competitive and energetic ... which means we definitely have to work on the "ball hog" thing before the next game!
