This year Axtell played in a qualifying tournament in Wink, Texas. It was an adventure across Texas, but we had fun. The boys left undefeated and then went on to the State competition in College Station. Teague had a Florida trip planned with JP, so he didn’t participate in the state tournament, but Richard and I went to support the team anyways. It’s always a good time watching them play football. They lost out in the third round, but the team work and lessons are sure to pay off this season!
This month’s family gathering was a Ranger game for Pierce’s first birthday! Unfortunately, Koby and Troy were both out of town so Teague invited a friend to tag along with us. We ate dinner at Live and watched the Rangers lose 12-2. Pierce had a great time and he and Hayden got a button saying it was their first Ranger game!
Pierce had his birthday party over the weekend and we got him Ranger’s tickets and a ball cap. He seemed to enjoy his cake and all the family that came to celebrate him and opening all his gifts. By the end, he was worn out and took a very well deserved nap.
This year’s youth camp was packed with fun. We took a huge group and needed more adults than in years past so I asked Amber if she wanted to come along and she was able to make it happen. We had a great time worshipping and driving the golf cart and making sure all the kids were accounted for and where they were supposed to be. Teague played in all the competitions and had fun with his friends. Koby was also a sponsor again this year. It’s always great to have fun with family!
Our last Air it Out football camp!! Richard has been bringing the boys here for 11 years and it has been so much fun for us and so good for their spiritual and sports maturity. They also incorporate faith into everything and spend the breaks talking about what really matters in life. I hope all the boys will remember those lessons forever!
We even got to watch Tech win their spot into the World Series with Tracy and her family, who are also huge Tech fans!
Cheer camp is a mix between so much fun and so much work. The team is really starting to come together and worked hard all weekend. Teague met a Tech cheerleader that really helped him get his toss to extension so he and Yarieli were so excited about that. I also think we were definitely the best dressed team there! It’s going to be a great season on Friday nights and also at competition!
