The {other} Nephew

Fairs fair.
Since Jess got his own post last year,
Micah gets his this year.

Because this kid can flat out wakeboard 
(among other things).
Seriously loves it.
Loves the fact that Mom & Dad's lakehouse is only
10 minutes from his house.
Isn't afraid to call at random times to see if O can pull him.

I know that makes both Mom and Dad happy.
That's one of the reasons they wanted Riverhaven.

Anyway, I grabbed my camera and rode in the boat 
a couple of weeks ago so I could snap some shots of his insane skills.

Here goes:

Coming up - board is horizontal as he comes up.
Interpreted:  extreme pull on the arms & shoulders




 Notice he keeps the board horizontal just for fun ...
ridiculous strength in this 15 year old!

 

Warming up ...

Oh yeah ...



Yeah, I know.
You'd think the photographer could get him in the center of the pic.
Please cut the photographer some slack.
It's not easy to hold the camera steady,
while going really fast,
and hitting waves along the way!!


Okay, so this set of pics shows what happens when you go hard ...



... you fall hard.
This was a pretty bad one.
His ear hurt and we were afraid that he busted it.
So we put him in the boat and took him back to the dock.

So proud of this kid!
And Blaine LOVES to follow right along behind him!

Nephew #2

We have 3 nephews.
Two belong to my sister.
One to Bowdie's brother.

Since doing the nephew post,
nephew #2 has been bugging me for his own.

And I'm happy to oblige.

This is Micah.
AKA Bubba.
Really not sure how that nickname came about ...
I think it was probably due to the amount of 
rolls that he had as a baby.

Think Michelin Man.

He's going to be a freshman come August.
A FRESHMAN!!!!
*gulp*

He's also a baseball player.
He was able, as an 8th grader, to play
with the high school JV team during the spring.

They also played a short schedule this summer.
And it just so happened that they played at Collins Hill ...
which meant he could stay with us and we could watch him play!

He played second base ...




All of my sister's kids wear the number 2.
Not sure why that particular number,
but I love that they all wear it!

Laying down a bunt ...

Bo & the boys, watching ...
Collins Hill had a great facility!

After the game ... waiting on the coaches to talk ...

Group shot ...
Micah's in the middle front ...

Such a cutie ... so proud of him!
