The Camas Family comes to visit!

We always love it when Aunt Andrea, Uncle Marlon, Marlon and Mathew come to visit us from California!
We had a great, relaxed visit and the kids had a blast!

Soccer on the beach!
Kids versus the adults! 


Football at the park, boys versus dads!

Luke and Marlon!

Mathew and Addison!

Cousins!!!







Tennis Season 2018

Amelia's freshman season of tennis wrapped up with another win.  


Amelia and Sophia with the win!


Freshman power!
Our JV team finished 11-0.  
The tennis coach wrote us parents and said, "Great season from the JV Hounds and we are in a great position to continue the pursuit of excellence at Ocean Springs!"
Way to go Greyhounds!

Field Day


Addison had her last Oak Park field day recently, her class was raring to go!

Addison Kate and Ms. Dykes :)  







The field day consists of the six third grade classes competing in relays together.   
Then, to end field day, the dashes happen!

Before field day the PE coach has the kids run prelims to qualify to run at field day. 
 Addison was the fastest in her class so she represented her class in the finals at field day, against the five other classes.
And they were off!!
  
This is about 65 yards into the 75 yard race, she was in third place behind two girls that are both at least a foot taller than her.  
She turned on the jets and pulled out second place.  Another two yards and she would have had first, it was a photo finish!
Proud of her little speedy self.  
Great job Addison Kate!

More Sports!

March brought on Amelia's high school tennis season!
The Greyhound's are undefeated as always and Amelia has had a great season playing girls and mixed doubles.






Luke and Stephen played in a charity golf tournament for our church mission trip.
It was on St. Patrick's Day so they were decked out in green!
(And they needed the luck!)


Addison recently played in a tennis tournament and brought home another trophy by winning the consolation bracket!
Great job Addison!
Three singles matches in one day is a lot for a little girl but she hung in there :)
This is Addison flying in the air!
Stephen has her hold on to a tree branch, he pushes the branch down to the ground and then lets go, and lets his youngest fly into the air!
Look how much higher she is than that bench!
  
Luke's basketball team celebrated the end of their season by going to a New Orleans Pelicans basketball game!

Last second win by the Pelicans!!

Father Daughter Dance

Addison and Stephen had a fun Daddy/ Daughter date again this year while attending the annual Father/Daughter dance.

As always, Addison enjoyed posing for the camera :) 



Kisses for Daddy.


The two of them had a fun time on the limo ride, dancing, dinner and of course the candy bar!

Go Rockets!!



Addison and Luke both played Rec basketball again this winter and both were on the Rockets team (separate age divisions of course).
Addison had an extra mascot accompany her to her b-ball game!


Addison and Alden are great buddies on and off the court.  Look at them here, scoping out the competition.

Watch out!  Here they are about to be put in the game!
  We'd call them the wall because they would not let anyone get by the two of them when they played defense. 


See the two blondies!  Shutting it down.  
On the last game the kids all autographed  a rockets ball for each other.


Congrats on a great season!

Luke and Parker have been on the same team for three years!
It was a rough year, two of their players broke bones the first week of the season so they were down to five players for the rest of the season, no subs is tough in basketball.  But they played hard and we were proud of them!



  
I am always sad when basketball season is over, it is so much fun to watch Luke and Addison play. 
 Although, I literally feel my blood pressure rising during the games, it is probably good it is a short season.
