Final HS Soccer Games of the Season

We have spent the last weeks going to soccer games every Tuesday and Friday. After his knee dislocation, watching the games had been more stressful than ever. Any collision he has, which is often, has made me gasp and hold by breath. Fortunately, it got a little better as the season progressed. As much as he was not a fan of wearing his brace all season, his knee did behave itself. His team lost more games than they have won, but despite that, it has been fun watching him play for his school. 

Camden's buddy, Seth, has been taking pictures of the soccer players for money (smart side gig for him). Camden and Seth are church buddies and in YMSL together. Since Camden has helped Seth with geometry, he shared some pictures with Camden that he had taken. Camden says they are fire! :)

Melissa and Shawn were able to come to cheer him on at one of his games in Klein.

Final game of the season.

Sports Filled Weekend and Birthday Celebration

The boys had quite a few sporting events this weekend, in addition to it being Camden's birthday weekend, so Nana and Poppa decided to take advantage of everything going on and enjoyed a long weekend with us. It began Thursday with Casen having a basketball game. They had a pep rally at his school to celebrate and fortunately, one of my friends whose daughter is a cheerleader, snapped some pics for me. I honestly had no idea parents could show up for the pep rally or I would have been there in person. 

The boys played their rival, Tomball Junior High, again however this time they did not come out on top. :( 

Basket made!

Friday evening, we headed to Camden's soccer game, which they were playing against Tomball High School at Tomball ISD Stadium. Playing under the big lights! :)

Camden's cheering section.

Camden had a showcase this weekend, so we were able to enjoy some beautiful weather while watching our favorite soccer player. On Saturday, his team was beating the other team pretty good, so his coach asked him if he wanted to play up. He gladly took the opportunity and ended up scoring a goal!! So fun to see since seldom do defenders normally score!

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL!!!

After his game on Sunday, we headed back home to celebrate his birthday before Nana and Poppa left. Since he had a high school game scheduled on his birthday as well as a big test the day after, he talked us in to celebrating early. I am sure being able to open presents early had nothing to do with his request. LOL! 

I am so dang proud of Camden - he works hard in school as well as in soccer (both school and club). He has a goal and stays focused while also having fun. He loves playing video games on his self built computer, however is responsible enough to know that work comes before play, which earned him straight A's first semester. I am so grateful to be his mom and look forward to what this next year brings.

Mississippi mud cake for the win!

Of course I had to grab a picture tonight after his game since it is his actual birthday. 

Happy 15th Birthday Camden!!
