Basketball Camp 2011

Last week we were back in Waco (yes we have spent most of June in Waco and at the lake!) for Baylor Biddie Ball Camp. It is a basketball camp for boys ages 4-7 so both Stacey and Wyatt got to go, as well as Ryan who is a veteran of the camp.

This particular week I was without a car so Angie and some other friends graciously took my boys back and forth, (THANK YOU!) but on Thursday the twins and I ventured out to observe just what these boys had been up to and and I have to say it was awesome! I would highly recommend it to anyone with a sports loving boy.
To say they were excited would be a huge understatement, everyday they were asking, "Is today the day we get to go to basketball camp?" Finally it was time!!
Wyatt and Charley. Charley is one of my BFF Lauren's little boys and Wyatt thinks he is the coolest! I love this picture because my Wy-Guy hasn't reached that stage where he is too cool to hug his buddy, and you can tell just how excited he is.
Coach Drew starting things off with some inspirational words and a few push ups.
A little running game to get things started. Stacey III takes his athletics very seriously. The facilities are fantastic and the boys got to enjoy them all.
Wyatt was in the youngest group and they were edible in their little basketball get up. The Baylor players (past and present) are the "coaches" of each group and Wyatt's coach was Mamado, who just happens to be 7 feet tall. He was enamored.
Dribbling, no problem (hilarious I'm telling you).
Relays
Ohhh blocked it, I think he might have an unfair size advantage. ;)
At the end of camp all the boys got a basketball and camp t-shirt - they were super excited!

Coach Drew was really great with these guys.
Wyatt & Mamado
This kid's got skilz!!
It was a great week and we can't wait for next year!
And in a few more years...
:)
We've got to get these kids back in the Red and Black Red Raider garb they are accustomed to quick!! But I have to give BU some serious props for a great camp. :)

Visitors from the UK!!

Last month the Woodburys were back in the US of A from London for an extended visit. We LOVED having them around and the boys loved playing with their cousins. They've made the trek back overseas and we are missing them terribly. Thankfully it won't be too long (just a year) before they are back for good.

Shelley is great behind the camera so I was really lazy about taking pictures and have "borrowed" lots of hers for this post.

Nannie and all her grand babies.
Truey showing some love

Stacey's running dive


Sarah and Brylie


Uncle Geoff
These two are thick as thieves. Wyatt told Stacey III that he wanted to marry Brylie. So cute. We told him he had excellent taste, but explained that you can't marry your cousin. ;)
The last weekend before Shelley and the kids headed back (Geoff was already there) we went to lake LBJ with the whole family for the weekend.

Nannie and her Alpha grandson.
Big and Coyt

Sorry Coyt I think your hat is a little small - ha!
Twin talk


Time to hit the lake, sorry about the pink jacket Truett.


Slip and slide!



Going double duty for dinner
Ahhh, Sarah & Nannie soaking up some R&R
"Look Mom, No Hands!"


The mud spot is a favorite.
While we were at the lake we had a little photo shot with the kids. Always a challenge to get six under six to do anything, but I thought Shelley captured some keepers. These are a few of my favorites.










Sigh...missing you guys so much, can't wait for your next visit!!

Champions!!

We were in Waco a few weeks ago for VBS and got to cheer on my nephew Ryan and the Tigers in the city championship. It was some intense stuff, but the Tigers prevailed and won the whole thing!! We loved getting to be there and seeing Ryan in his element.
GO TIGERS!!

The apple didn't fall to far from the tree here. ;)
