Parker's 8th Grade dance

Parker had his 8th Grade Desert dance.  It was fun to chaperone it and see him with his friends.

We had a few kids over beforehand and then a couple stayed over afterwards.

Parker's last band concert in Middle school

Tonight was the last band concert for Parker as a middle schooler.  He even had his first solo in the Jazz portion.  He has come such a long ways since sixth grade.  He now is so confident in himself.  He was suppose to get his braces yesterday and we put them off a week so that he could play in the last concert without any issues.  The last party they did a funny skit for Mrs. Crocker.  Parker dressed up as Superman, no surprise there!

Parker's 8th grade basketball

Parker had a game last night and we were so proud of how hard he played.  The team has some issues early on with kids missing games due to grades and injuries.  Parker also had to miss some practices due to appointments.  So he didn't know the plays as well as the other kids.  The game last night was amazing.  They all played as a team and Parker defense was amazing.  He stopped the lead scorer and closed the gap.

The pictures didn't turn out very good because we were sitting at the top of the bleachers and the lighting was not ideal and of course everyone was in motion.  Here are a few I wanted to share.
