Box Lacrosse

 Jack has been playing regular lacrosse for four years now and has been really enjoying it. But this winter we experienced indoor box lacrosse for the first time.

Last fall at his first regular lacrosse game, the coaches from the opposing team asked Jack if he wanted to play box with them in the winter. We have played against them for years and they commented on how much they noticed his improvement over the past year. Jack was the only outside person they asked to join their team, which was a thrill for everyone as it really cemented all the extra time and effort he had put in over the summer (lacrosse camps, summer tournaments, clinics, etc.).

 The nice thing about box lacrosse is that it's indoors!! 
At the last practice before our championship game, the coach told me they would have loved to keep him on their regular lacrosse team, but he understood and appreciated Jack's dedication to his North Paulding Wolfpack team. Now, that's not to say he wouldn't pass up playing box lacrosse with NP and go back to Allatoona...

 This Allatoona team went undefeated all season and won the championship. It was such a fun ride!

 This is the awards ceremony.

 This is the final score and it was a close and tough game. The rest of the season the scores were much farther apart. But it was good to really have to work to win this one.


 Jack getting his medal.


We are very proud of him!

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Big changes!

What a busy day we had! First of all, the trip to the movies was a big success!!! BOTH boys really enjoyed it. I wish I had photos to share. Ethan sat on my lap watching the movie until he fell asleep. He was fighting it though. He kept trying to turn his head to watch even though he was yawning and wanting to put his head on my shoulder. Jack sat for most of it and then got a bit restless. He still watched the whole movie, he just needed to move around a bit. Luckily it was a pretty empty theater. Today we had a bobcat in the backyard moving dirt around to flatten out an area for the playset and a shed. It looks so great out there and Jack loved watching the tractor scooping and moving the dirt.
