Noah Lettered

Skylor, Kaleb, Noah, and Shawn at the basketball banquet.

Noah reached his goal of lettering in basketball as a sophomore. He received the good news Thursday night at the basketball banquet. Noah and the other 4 swing players who played both Junior Varsity and Varsity lettered this year. My boy who rarely wears a jacket even when the temperature is below freezing has decided that he wants a letterman's jacket to display his letter. We're going to go look at the options he has available for for customizing his jacket today.

Look Who is in the Local Paper

Noah's basketball team participated in a Coaches vs. Cancer basketball game two weeks ago. Although the boys lost they game they were able to help raise more than $1200 for the American Cancer Society. The hospital had a booth with helpful information about cancer treatments and prevention. The local Relay for Life committee also had a booth with information about Arlington's Relay for Life event in June. I have been a relay captain for three years now. My teams have raised more than $5000. We are hoping to raise $2500 more this year. If you would like to see the slideshow of the pictures from the game please visit the following website. Noah is in several of them (he is in the center of the photo below).

January Birthdays: Mom, Dad, Alyssa

Last weekend Mom, Dad, and Alyssa came to our house to celebrate their January birthdays. Dad on the 21st, Mom on the 23rd, and Alyssa's birthday is the 30th. The weekend started with Noah's game at Lake Stevens Friday night. Noah plays JV and varsity. The JV team won, but unfortunately the varsity lost.

On Saturday while Noah was at practice the rest of us went shopping so Alyssa could spend her birthday money. Then Saturday night we had a delicious seafood dinner at the Anthony's in Anacortes followed by DQ ice cream cake at home with the neighbor girls.
