Peek Into My Life As A Sports Mom

Well it happened. Graduation officially happened on Saturday afternoon. We had a small party for the boys and it was wonderful. They had no idea we were doing it, so it was a complete surprise.

Chris graduated from 8th grade and is officially a freshman in high school now. Josh graduated from 5th grade and is officially a middle schooler now.

Here are some pictures of the party and the gifts they received.


The graduation cake!

Boys, we’re so proud of you and the fact that you’ve worked so hard to graduate. We look forward to the road ahead and the adventure as well. Keep up the great work. We love you!

I was a little concerned when we started the day on Wednesday. It rained most of the day and I was sure the track meet that was to be held on Thursday wouldn’t happen. Well God had other plans. The track meet went just as planned.

Josh did a fantastic job! We were so proud of him.

The morning was spent on the track watching the kids run. Josh did the 50, the 100, the 400, and the 200 meter relay. He took first in the 50 meter dash, first in the 100 meter dash, second in the 400 meter dash, and second in the 200 meter relay.

Here is a video of Josh running the 50 meter dash. He’s the one on the far side in the red shirt.



We enjoyed lunch on the grass and Josh played with some of his friends.

Then we did field events in the afternoon. Josh did the soccer kick, the football throw, the javelin throw, jump rope, sack race, a 5 minute run around a circle, the hurdles, partner jump rope, hula-hoop, and tug-o-war.

Here is a video of the hurdles.



Here are some pictures of the field events.

















Great job Josh. We’re so proud of you!
