Baseball & Flurries

Catching snowflakes the size of quarters! More snow!
Jayden at bat, looks as if it was a strike judging by the ump!

We have been very busy busy busy! This past weekend started out with two 7 on 7 football games. The Knights won one game and tied the other. After some rest Jayden played in a baseball tournament. He pitched his first six inning game of his life and got a win. He threw 102 pitches, I'm not sure what I think of throwing that many pitches but he had fun! They ended up getting third place, the team that beat them twice won the entire tourney. Today, Tuesday, we had flurries for the second time this winter. The first time was during the school day so I didn't get any pictures but today was after school. The flakes were HUGE, but the snow didn't stick to the ground. Casen loved catching them on his tongue but after twenty minutes of that he was freezing and came into warm up and change clothes cause he was soaked then went out again until it stopped, then came in and changed AGAIN!!!! What a fun day! Casen's baseball team, Astros, premiere this Saturday as the season begins.

The Bench

Knox bench during the tourney, before ankle injury of Darious.
Another pic, I think that its funny that there are more siblings on the bench than players!



Basketball & Baseball

Casen and his buddy sitting on the bench helping coach! Jayden with his science fair materials.

Jayden vs. Andres tip off, Andres is a former student, love both these boys! Jayden won!

Jayden #50 right before tip off! Jayden also won :)

Last weekend there was a basketball tourney and Knox fared as well as they could. They had only one sub until he sprained his ankle then down to ZERO subs. Kids had bouts with the flu, injuries, and grades. They managed to get 4th place, not bad for a team of 5 1/2 players. Casen and all of the other little brothers were sitting on the bench, there was a lot of room! They also enjoyed playing some pick up ball during half time! Jayden completed his science fair project; Bat Wars: Aluminum vs. Wood. He really enjoyed this project we are so thankful his teacher let him do a project that he really bought into. Casen's spring baseball team this year is going to be the Astros! The first practice is today and then off to the super busy lifestyle we go. Jayden's practice starts too as well as 7 on 7 football.
