So I am quite behind on the blog. We have been extra busy this year with sports, so I am just lumping our year of sports all together!
Basketball: Mackenzie played basketball for the first time and really enjoyed it. It was a year of learning and we were proud of her! She had a great team and wants to play again next year!
This last video is a little grainy, but is a good one nonetheless!
Caleb played his first year of flag football! He loved it!! He somehow managed to be on not only a former Ohio State Buckeye, but also a NFL All American player, Joey Galloway! He was a fabulous coach and Caleb (along with most the dads) were quite proud to have him coaching!
How lucky is he, his first year playing, he gets a former NFL, All-American player, who is also a current ESPN correspondent? Unreal!
Mackenzie: Girls on The Run
I coached Kenzie's school team again this year. We really love this program, which builds girls confidence, while teaching them how to run a 5K! I love getting to know her schoolmates better and be a part of her school community!
Hugs to my sweet girl who ran this race much faster than last year!
As was the case last year, it seems to always rain for this event. However, the cool rain is sometimes welcome as it can be pretty hot this time of year!
While Mackenzie and I were running in the 5K, Caleb participated in the Kiddie Dash....and ended up winning the whole event!
Mackenzie Spring Softball
Mackenzie took on the role of pitcher this year. She was one of 4 great pitchers on her undefeated team. I love watching her on the mound or covering 1st base...her two favorites. She did great under pressure and for her 1st year pitching, did really well.
Kenzie threw the last strike, on her last game of the season. Her team was the only team undefeated! Love these sweet girls!
She also got into her hitting groove this year. She was slamming balls into the outfield this year, almost every game. She has always been a consistent hitter, but it was fun to see her hitting make such huge improvements!
Golf:
Caleb took up golf lessons this summer after watching the Memorial Tournament on tv and getting to meet players and receive autographs. The golfers were so generous; Kenzie got a signed golf glove from Jim Frick and Caleb got a signed ball. They also got a hat filled with signatures.
Getting an autograph from Jim Fyrick...who took her on the course to give her HIS glove. Lucky, lucky girl!
As a result, Caleb decided he would give golf a go! And as we have found with most sports...he was a natural!
He even went golfing with his sweet cousin Owen and Grandma and Grandpa Buzzard during a sleepover!
In a few weeks, Caleb will participate in a USA Jr. Golf Camp! To say he is excited is an understatement!
