School's Back In Session!

Craig 11th grade
Blake 7th grade

School has started for the boys!  Craig is at Red Mountain High School and Blake is at Fremont Jr. High.  We are looking forward to a very busy and fun year. 

Hoops Camp 2011

Another great year!  Craig coached the 4th - 6th grade kids and Blake was a player on the Jr. High team - even went all the way and won the championship! Melvin Adams was here on campus once again, leading the kids in basketball skills as well as teaching them some life lessons skills.  Each year gets better and better and we have so much fun

Zaharis Legacy

Craig and Blake have both been a part of the story that is Zaharis Elementary (Craig 4th - 6th grade and Blake K-6th grade).  On the last day of school this year, I was able to get a photo of both boys with Mr. Oliver, the "princi-pal".  This school has been an amazing place for the boys to learn and grow. Even though Craig is going into 11th grade and Blake into 7th, this school will forever bring great memories to our famliy.

Jr. High, here he comes!

Elementary school is no more in this house.  Blake graduated from Zaharis Elementary today.  It was a very special ceremony.  In these photos are family, friends, and teachers.  We even took a photo with the school nurse who has been Blake's life line each school day for the past 2 years.  We have loved every minute of our family's 7 years at this school - we will not forget the adventure that it has been, for both boys.

Hoops Camp II

Once again this summer, Craig II and Blake participated in Champion Hoops Camp (a basketball camp our church hosts; about 150 kids attended this year!) Craig II was able to be one of the coaches for the younger elementary kids, and Blake played on a team in his grade division. Both boys experienced some good life lessons through this camp; win or lose. Melvin Adams, a former Harlem Globetrotter was a huge part of the camp again. All the kids love him; he is great with them and even the grown ups that are in charge try to learn a few things too-even though I still can't play the game - sorry Dad :)

Play Ball!

The boys have begun spring little league. Craig II plays for the Owls (a rookie team for the Angels) in the juniors division, and Blake plays for the San Diego Padres in the minors division. It is fun to watch them do what they like to do :) We have games through June, so the fun has begun. Here are their pictures for this season...

Another Statement

While getting Blake ready for school this morning, he tells me this - "Mom, memorizing my Bible verse for KIDS Rock is so easy - even a cave man can do it!" He said this an hour ago, and I am still laughing about it!:) And then Craig II says "Hey Mom, you should make that your new KIDS Rock logo". Seriously, where do they come up with this stuff:)
