Golf 2021 ⛳️ Freshman

I love wathcing him play.

I appreciate the time spent watching him on the course with the chance 

to give him encouragment if he looks my way.

It doesn't come super easy to him, but he keeps consistent and works hard at golf.

I am thankful to make all the meets this year, this was important to me.  

Either Dan or I made them all or we split to make it to Joe's junior high baseball.

I am proud of Sam for working thru frustrating shots, often times coming out of that hole with a pretty good score.  

Love this son of ours.

Fun team of fine young men this year.  Rory, Silas, Connor S, Connor W, Seth B and Sam

Spring Tidbits

JV boys at their Lion Backer Presectional Basketball Banquet Feb 2021

I spent countless hours planning and organizing our trip out west to find a route that would

work best for our trip.  It looks like from this screenshot our locations were adjusted a bit.  

  I am thankful now that I did so much research and planning.  

Looking back on our two week trip out west will be some of our best memoires forever! 

Countless hours spent here and thoes Indiana Skies

And countless meaningful hours spent here as well.

This junior youth group has our heart.  

We have loved every minute of mentoring and guiding them over the last couple years! 

Isn't this true? Every day we are given opportunites to develop our character.  

15 Anos

Our first born son is 15 Anos.

He started Spanish this year and really enjoys it, it seems he is also pretty good at it. 

I found a XL blanket - this has been a favorite ever since, he keeps it with him always!  

A little project for school (cell model) He did a really cool job on this.  Loved seeing his plan come to life

and 

A typical look for his after school home work or possibly an elearning day.  

Christmas Eve

Reflecting on our Christmas eve brings me a lot of joy.

We had a really great family day.

It was a start of a new season having Christmas eve off.  

We also didn't have plan at all this day since our traditional Walker family gathering was

moved this year. 

Boys wanted to make gingerbread houses and each picked out a kit.  This was

and epic creation.  We spent a good LONG while creating. 

E

Joe had a mini breakdown and dad had to come to the rescue (of the house and the attitude both) tee hee

We were having so much fun that we got some regular cardboard and supplies from the cabinet and made our own creative creations.  Obviously, I would choose a beach theme!  

It came with an epic mess.  

Sam made a golf clubhouse with a green, sand trap and water feature. 

I had time to set the table for our Christmas morning breakfast 

We ended up at Will and Jill's for Christmas eve even though we had already gathered for our official time together.  Sam created a craps table (hand drawn) during COVID so we took it and boys had fun learning the rules.  

Jaelyn and Jill doing the traditional school song dance.  I hope they never out grow this.  

We celebrate Sam's 15th birthday (it was Jill's birthday and Will's on 26th) with a grandma cake, yum!

JBA

It is a favorite to watch out boys play at JBA.

This year Joe had a game in the big gym, a big treat for the Junior High Team! 

 They are a fun team to watch, lots of hustle and desire. They won a lot of games this year! 

And Sam had all of his home Freshman games at JBA.  His team won all their games this year. 

Joe and Jaelyn might have spent one whole night arguing in the lobby of the gym.  

Sam also dressed several JV games at the end of the year.  It was fun seeing him play in several of the games. He played most of the Shoals game.  It's still shocking to see the crowd size in some of these pics.  Reminder of the rules that we endured for COVID. Even though we went right thru it and made it work for the time we were living the reminders are evident when you look back on pictures.

Most of the Fresh boys.  Love this group 

Spring sports

Look at those sunny days

and

green grass.

Spring has to be one of my favorites because I know summer is coming!  

Jaelyn played her senior year of softball - usually playing 3rd base! 

Softball is a favorite sport of mine - I was able to catch several of her games, usually after golf or baseball! 

Grandpa's basketball goals gets lots of action when his grands are there.

Joe's LMS baseball team started their year at ND - Joe at shortstop. Koen is the pitcher here.  

And the start of golf with a tournament at French Lick.  Golf produces some of the most senic views!
