Justin baseball and confirmation!

Since the fall, Justin has been doing confirmation and now is a church member!




Justin's team beat the other Rec team to win the tourney!
Justin got the winning run by sliding into home and also was the closing pitcher!



Both teams together!




He did get a hit here. The first baseball missed the ball, so he got a double!

May fun!

 The old driving range on Hwy 70 opened so we went on a Sunday afternoon.



Hallie and Nora at the Star Wars Crawdads night!


Justin got an I-Ready Improvement award!


At Justin's last ball game, he got a hit and with the 1st baseman missing the ball, got to 2nd base.
Then he got to home a little while later, which ended up being the winning run!
He also was the closer pitcher and struck the final batter out!

Justin's birthday, Easter, and random stuff!

We celebrated Justin's birthday with family at Easter! He wanted a golf cake.





Thankfully, the rain ended so they could have the annual money egg hunt.



On Justin's birthday , we had his friend Korbyn come over since it was Spring break. 

He gave Justin a Dick's gift card so went there, then to Sweetfrogs. Justin got baseball cards.



He spent the night, then we went to Topgolf on Saturday morning. Uncle Mike joined us last.




Random pic of Theo, Winnie, and Peebles.


Kiff now stays with Hallie more at night but was a good roomie to Justin.


Hallie did Battle of the Books for her club, which is the first year HHS has had one.
They got 3rd place out of 17 in the regional!

Basketball & 2 weeks of Ice/Snow


Justin had over 10 point this season!
He played on the Bulls and had a very good coach (whose son plays in the NBA).
It's the first time I've seen his team play like an actual team and no one really tried to do everything on their own.

The ice storm came on Sunday, January 25th. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as predicted here and the sledding was very fast! Then, we got actual snow on January 31st. 

Videos and pics from the first day of the ice!

Hurricanes game!


We went to the Hurricanes Hockey game on MLK Day!

Our seats were better than we expected- in a place that had its own food area and bathrooms.







Here is when they came out before the game started!



Hallie was excited to say "Let's Go Canes!" with the crowd.



Pics when they were warming up.

 

#20 is Sebastian Aho, one of Justin's favorites.






#11 is Jordan Staal



Both goals were on our side! 
There were also 2 fights (one including Seth Jarvis and lots of bumping into the wall on our side!


Playing!

Celebrating after the game!
