A New School Year

It sure was a busy summer! The boys kept us busy with sports & summer camps. They played baseball at the YMCA -- Jhett's 3rd year, Sterling's 1st. They were on the Red Sox team. Jhett made a real homerun & a double play by catching a line drive at first base, then stepping on first. Sterling hit a homerun on errors. At the end of the season, Jhett was voted MVP!

Next, they went to Nana & PawPaw's for a week to attend Vacation Bible School at the First Baptist Church in Barnwell. They love going to Vacation Bible School!

Then Jhett went to Byrnes Football Camp even though he was only a rising 2nd grader. The camp was really for 3rd graders and up. He was awarded a Byrnes football jersey for being the "Camper of the Week". Coach said he had the best attitude, always gave 100% & never gave up. He also got a Byrnes Football Camp t-shirt.

Next they attended Byrnes day camp where they swam, did arts & crafts, honed up on their computer skills, & played alot! They even went on a field trip to the movies.

Then they attended Byrnes Soccer Camp. They both got Byrnes Soccer Camp T-shirts.

Then they went to British Soccer Camp. The coaches were from, you guessed it, Britian. Sterling wanted to know how they were going to teach using sign language since they were from England. I told him they weren't deaf British soccer coaches! The got an authentic British soccer uniform, & a regulation soccer ball & t-shirt. Like we need another soccer ball. I think that brought our total up to 6!

Next they attended Byrnes Basketball camp. They both got Byrnes basketball Camp t- shirts.

We have been so busy with getting our new business off of the ground, that we weren't able to take our traditional Florida vacation this summer. So we bought a pool instead. We have thoroughly enjoyed it.

The new business is going very well. Since June, when we went "live" full force, we have already reached revenues of 6 figures! It is awesome! We are working on a deal right now that will put us into the 8 or 9 figure mark depending on the details! How cool is that?

The boys are playing soccer now at the YMCA -- we are sponsoring their team. They are the Galaxy Ramp Hornets! They had they first game on Saturday & we got creamed...4 to nothing!

Sterling is also playing his second year of Byrnes soccer at school. Their first game is tomorrow.

Jhett is in 2nd grade at Carver & doing well as usual! Although it is still a fight to get him to do his homework. He's very smart, but he's lazy everywhere except athletics. That is his saving grace. Sterling is the youngest once again in his 1st grade class at Byrnes & still the smartest. It's good to know they are chips off of the old block!

They both started TaeKwanDo last week at Byrnes. Sterling asked Master James on the first day if they were going to get to kill anybody. Where does he get this stuff? They start out as a white belt, which means purity & no knowledge of TaeKwanDoe. They are working on their yellow belt.

Tomorrow we have to sign them up for NFL Flag football at the YMCA. We are going to sponsor the Dallas Cowboys, of course, if it is available. This will be Jhett's 2nd season, & Sterling's first. Basketball & hockey season isn't tpp far around the corner. They also want to play lacrosse, which no one offers, as well as tennis & golf. How will we ever fit all of the sports in? I am sure we will manage!
