Carson is 11

Carson is such an amazing young man! This boy is slowing becoming a man right before my eyes.  He is so sweet and so caring.  He is smart, athletic, and sincere.  He loves his family so much and would do anything for anyone.  Carson has a huge heart and a love for Jesus that I am so proud of.  He loves basketball so much and works relentlessly to achieve his goals.  I am one proud mama!

Carson celebrated his 11th birthday with his best buddies - Mason, Andrew, and Wesley.  The boys spent the night, played basketball (of course), roasted smores, and played video games.  The next day, we took them for burgers at lunch, then to Altitude for some trampoline fun.  Happy Birthday Carson!  We love you so much!

Carson - Basketball

Carson plays more basketball than anyone I have ever known.  He truly loves the game.  I have gotten to where I don't take pictures every season.  I video about 1-2 games a season and take a few pictures here and there.  Usually I am so into the games, I can't get to my camera fast enough.  I love the passion and dedication Carson has for basketball.  I can't wait to see what the future holds for him in the game that he loves!

Kinder Ranch Art Show

Our family has never been extremely artistic.  However, all 3 kids did some awesome artwork at school.  We stopped by on our way to Carson's game and took some pictures of the cool projects they made!

Comal ISD Chess Tournament

This year Kennedi and Carson both played in the Comal ISD Chess Tournament.  It was bit different of a day than our usual weekend in the bleachers watching basketball, but it was fun!  Both kiddos did great (they are braniacs!).  Carson's best friend, Mason, won the tournament last year.  Carson told us that he thought he would do fine, unless he had to play against Mason.  Well, that just happened.  Carson won every game.  He and Mason ended up playing each other in the championship for elementary age division.  Mason won, but not without a fight.  Mason ended up playing against the other age groups, beat a Senior in High School and took the whole thing.  In the elementary group, Carson took 2nd, his friend Andrew took 3rd, and another Kinder Ranch Cowboy took 4th.  Kinder Ranch had an amazing representation at the tournament!  Kennedi did well too, she won 1 and lost 2, but for a 2nd grader, we were all really impressed!  I'm so proud that my kids excel academically as well as athletically!

Cade plays basketball

Here are some more pictures of Cade playing basketball.  Basketball is becoming our family game and  I couldn't be more happy!  Go Cade Go!
