People warned me...lots of them! About how hard it would be to have a TEENAGER!
And while i know that there are MORE years ahead, and they could be brutal and ugly and hard (as well as GREAT and enjoyable and fun!)
i LOVE this kid! He makes a mom (and dad) proud!
Oly Jr. High just finished up their basketball season in a blaze of (non) glory! The Bulldogs were defeated on Tuesday afternoon in the Semi-Final match by Bonneville Jr. High in a game for the record books!
Josh played his heart out and even though the final score did not reflect what we hoped it would, the team did a great job!
Josh had a great season, a starter on the team...he played high post, low post and all posts in between. (LOL...i am kidding sports enthusiasts!) He learned a lot, woke up at the 5 a.m. hour for 2 solid months and never complained (perhaps he was too asleep to notice?). He tried his hardest and sometimes it paid off with a win, and sometimes not. A great "life lesson"--that sometimes we WILL fail and the point is NOT in the failure, but in how we continue on with dignity.
Way to go Josh, way to go Bulldogs! It was a BLAST to watch those boys play the game! (notice all my exclamation points in this post!!!!)
And if anyone ever wants to rent a great kid, i know a fabulous one for you to borrow! His name is JOSH~

There's probably only about 15 kids out of an entire school that make the basketball team - and then to be a starter! - complete success! WAY TO GO JOSH!
And the 5 a.m thing - sheesh!
You got some great pics of him playing B-ball...IMPRESSIVE. I bet you are so proud. How awesome he was a starter and that is quite amazing getting up at 5 a.m. for a teenager...without complaining. I hope we are as lucky with our boys as you have been so far with Josh when they are teenagers :)
Josh is awesome! I don't think teenagers have to be hard. My mom swears she had as much fun with us as teenagers as she did when we were babies and little kids. She was an awesome mom like you so we really had no reason to rebel or get fiesty! LOL
Josh is great. How many teenage boys will come over and hang out with a 6 year old and play games with him? The answer is--not many.
Carter compares just about everyone against Josh--"Yeah, you are tall but not as tall as Olivia's brother Josh."
Good to hear he had such a good year in hoops as we expected nothing less from him.
That is so awesome...what a hard working boy, and the fact he didn't even complain about it??? WOW!!! Totally impressive.
Congratulations on a great season! :)
Great post by my equally awesome and great wife!!!
