Los Alamitos Parade

Ted's water polo team marched in the Los Alamitos parade. Ted enjoyed the parade except they had to line up so early in the morning.

Ted's continuing water polo adventures

Ted is still obsessed with water polo. In the last tournament he played for both the 10 and under team and the 12 and under team. He has been playing a lot of goalie for the 10 team. He was excited because he scored is first goal in a 12 game and got his first ejection in a 12 game. But he played 10 water polo games in 2 days. The 12 and under team took first place in the tournament.

Travis' Baptism

Travis was baptized on Feb. 20, 2010. Grandma and grandpa came down for the weekend. Travis was baptized by Brother Ryan LeBaron (pictured with Travis) and confirmed by Grandpa (Boyd Jackson). Ted was able to sing at his brothers baptism.

Water Polo

Ted had his big 3 day winterfest water polo tournament this weekend. He played with the 10 and under team on Saturday and Sunday. He played goalie for one game and had some good saves. He also scored his first two goals in water polo. He was excited except that the team lost all of their games. He usually plays with the 12 year olds but they didn't have enough 10 year olds. He was upset because the 12 year olds played for medals.

Basketball

Travis is in the middle of basketball season right now. He plays center but also brings the ball up on out of bounds plays. He also steals the ball quite a bit and brings the ball up. Apparently he has the best ball handling skills on the team. He is not happy about one of his teammates who shoots over 30 times a game and makes maybe 2 on a good day. If the teammate thinks about passing the pass is so terrible that it is a turn over. Travis is the only kid on the team with any assists. I guess the concept of team work is not understood by 8 year olds. They finally won their first game this weekend.

Oustanding Math Award

Travis won an outstanding math award for having the highest score on the math facts quizzes. He can do 100 math facts correctly is less than 3 minutes.

Travis' Birthday

Well, Travis turned 8 on Feb 4. We had a family night at John's Incredible Pizza. Travis will be baptized on Feb 20.
