Our Faith, Our Family, & Our Friendships.

  This week was Ben's 9th Grade Freshman Basketball banquet and the season has officially come to an end!    A lot of great memories were made,     stronger friendships formed,   and lots of baskets made!     The season wasn't full of wins.   Actually I think they were the bottom of the bracket,   But not for lack of trying.   These boys tried their hardest,  and gave it their all,  they just came up short.   Regardless,    I was super proud to be an Airport momma!           

9th grade basket ball season has come to an end,   what an awesome experience it's been!      So many friends and family members came to support my boy!  Thank you so much to all of you!   My boy felt so loved!    He enjoyed all the times of looking into the stands and seeing so many faces there for him!   I wish I got pictures of everyone who came!    

   When Brooklynn was born almost 8 years ago,   Matts cousins wife was also pregnant and we happened to deliver our babies 2 weeks apart.  It was such a joyous time for all.   2 healthy baby girls added to the family line!       Since their birth,  we have tried on many occasions to get the girls to meet,  but due to distance and so many other circumstances out of our hands,  it never worked out and the girls knew about a cousin their age, but it remained just a thought in their heads.     Until recently.   We finally made it happen!   We decided to meet at a restaurant and let the girls meet!   Brooklynn was thrilled!     She got to meet not only a cousin her age,  but an older cousin,  AND a younger cousin!   She loved it!   Just a time of reunion and fellowship!  It made my heart happy for my little girl and we all promi...

   What a feeling it is, When friends show up to your sons game to support and love him like their own.       It makes my heart so blessed to have the village I do.     Im sad I didn't grab pictures of them with Ben ,  but it meant so much to us and him!    Thank you Allison, Vinny, Klohe, Kristen, and Lincoln for loving our boy!   And a momma from the other team, whom  has known and loved Ben for YEARS. She caught one of Bens layups and sent it to me!    Talk about friends!    Opposing teammates,   but still supportive.   

 About a month ago,  Ben made the freshman team at his new high-school,   he LOVES basketball and was so excited to join.     So far the season has been rough with losses every game,   till last night!   They finally had a win!!        Hopefully this gives the boys a boost of confidence and turns their year around!     Go Jets!!    And pa got a pretty awesome photo of Bens layup during the game!    As my friend Emily would say "it's totally rad!"

 And she LOVES IT!    Brooklynn is always a happy little girl,    but there's a special light in her eyes when she's out there on the mats at practice!   She works hard and put it all in.   I'm so happy that her dreams are becoming a reality for her!     *and a huge thank you to pa and gigi for helping financially making this possible!
