Walker's Sports Camps

Walker's summer started off running.

Literally!!!

The very first week of summer

Walker attended the Midway Football Camp.

I begged him not to...just so I

could selfishly sleep in!  hee hee!

Not going to stop this kid though....

Unfortunately after two days of hard

work outs, he woke up during the night

with a fever.  In the morning, he

begged me to still let him go.

Against everything I believe,

I let him go only to have to go

pick him up because he

had fever and felt horrible:(

I took him STRAIGHT to

Dr. Graham.....
(Nothing like the STORM at the dr.'s office!)

Of course the Motrin kicked in &
 some love from brother and sister helped,

but Dr. G said that Walker had a deep,

awful sinus infection.  He said it had

to have been brewing for weeks.

AHHHHH....that explains all of

Walker's sleeping the last week of school.

Troy and I were relieved it wasn't mono! 

Poor guy felt bad though and really

layed around for the next two days.

We went for the awards program on the

last day of football camp. 

I still wanted him to get his shirt

and football and certificate!

He hated missing out on football:(

The VERY next week was

Midway Baseball Camp!!!!!!!!!!!

He was rip, roarin' and ready to go.

I would say baseball is his favorite

sport.  He didn't even go to this

one with a specific friend.

He's so cute as a ball player;)

After a fun, first day at baseball....

Troy and I really try to be cool,

non-overbearing parents especially

when it comes to sports.

(Troy is MUCH better at this than me!)

I know the coaches didn't want all the

parents hanging around watching,

but one day Hadlee, Huds and I

pulled up and watched from the car....

I got so BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ha ha!

I could just never get enough of

watching Walker play

something he loves!!!

Walker & Nash on the last day of camp...

Walker & Jared walking across the

Midway Baseball Field

on the last day with his gear in hand...

On the last day, the coaches gave out

awards.  I knew Walker wanted to win one!!!!!!;(

I soooo had my fingers crossed.

He had his #1 fan right beside him!!!

(Huds had been playing in the dirt!  ha)

Getting his new baseball shirt

from Coach Offill..

Seriously so sweet...

for one, how much Hudson adores

his big brother and two,

how Walker LETS Hudson adore him

even amongst friends at a baseball camp!

The coaches gave out three

Outstanding Performance Awards

and guess what?!?

WALKER GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Troy was out of town

and I was so pumped to text him

"He got one!!!"

It is the absolute best feeling

to see your child get rewarded for

his hard work!!!!!!

 Walker & Jared both got

Outstanding Performance Awards:)

Proud of our favorite player!!!

Love this silly stud

checking out the baseball

cards he won! 

At the end of camp, you can

buy a new Midway hat...

Walker chose a red one! 

This also meant that Hudson

got a new Midway hat!  ;)

Camps, Awards or Nothing AT ALL....

this kid is my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally the third week of summer

was BASKETBALL CAMP!

The boy wouldn't quit;)

His buddy Kullen went with

him to basketball camp...

He and Kullen had a great week.
AND...their littles had fun also!  ;)

Walker did awesome at this camp, too!

Walker is so tall and his feet are HUGE!
Everyday the coaches bragged on him.

Hopefully he is growing into his body;)

On the last day, they did a short program

and the coaches handed out awards.

Walker got 2nd place in the Mikan Drill

and 3rd place in the Spot Shot!

His fan club was SO excited for him!!!!!!!!

Walker and Matthew have done basketball

camp every year.  Proud to show off

their awards and their new basketballs!!!

It was a fun week with Kullen!
They both did awesome:)

Just so proud of

BIG BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hudson knew he had on a

basketball shirt

and wanted everyone to know it!  ha!

I love celebrating with my three loves!

And so does Daddy:)

Guess he gets his basketball skills from

his mama...a former Midway Pantherette!  ha;)

SUCH a STUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three camps, three weeks in a row

wore these two OUT!!!  But not the Walkman!

Yet you, LORD, are our Father.

 We are the clay, you are the potter;

we are all the work of your hand.
