Basketball Camp

This past week Reese was in a basketball camp at our church.  He has never played b-ball on a team before because he has always been busy with spring and fall baseball.  Greg has taught him alot of stuff in our driveway but he was excited to learn even more in camp.  He had a blast and loved going everyday (bonus:)  It was a Christian organization that put on the camp so everyday they got to memorize a verse and Reese was all about that making sure he knew the verse for the next day!  

The last day all the parents got to come and see what the kids learned and for the award ceremony.

Each kid got a certificate honoring them for a character trait that the coaches saw in them during the week. 

Our sweet Reeser got Joyfulness!  

I was SO proud.  He is such a joyful kid and loves life.  He challenges me everyday to focus more on being grateful!  

They also gave out 3 other awards and Reese got the Barnabas Award!  It's for being the most encouraging kid in the group and for doing all his homework....I got teary eyed I gotta admit:)

It fills my heart with joy to see my child displaying the character of Christ.  Sometimes it gets discouraging being a parent as you question how effective you really are ya know?  

But he really does listen!  Yay!  Some of what we are saying and trying to lead by example is sticking with him!  

Praise the LORD!

Ready for the award ceremony!

Proudly accepting his award:)

All the kids with the coaches

Well Reese taking a stab at basketball was fun and all but he informed us he's more into baseball.
                                                           We were not surprised:)
Our next adventure is flag football...this should be interesting...ha!
Here's a few more pictures of Reese in action:)
