Camp ChoYeh

The kids both wanted to go back to ChoYeh this summer but it gets hard as they get older. Their summers are pretty full with activities and they want to go with friends but it's hard coordinating with friend's schedules too. So Marlie went the first week of June with Lauren and Matt was excited to take Corey with him during the 3rd week of June for Corey's first summer camp!

The girls had a wonderful time. They loved their counselors and this is the first year they've really bonded with all the girls in their cabin. Since it was the first week it wasn't too crowded yet. Marlie ran into a friend from HSMT and saw several other kids from WMS.

 We saw so many great pictures posted throughout the week! 

I don't think these girls were ready to go home when we came to pick them up. Such a great group! Apparently there was an inside joke about shouting chicken strips while your shirt was half way over your head?!?!?! Marlie was awarded the Faithfulness award again this year. Her counselor said she loved how knowledgeable Marlie was about the bible. Praise God!

Matt was so happy that Corey went with him to camp. Corey was a little nervous but he's super social and didn't have any problem. We didn't see too many pictures of them throughout the week but probably because they hid from the camera! It was funny to hear their stories when we picked the boys up. This week of camp was completely full and there were 17, 13 year old boys in one cabin. Apparently it was pretty crazy and one of the counselors admitted to it at pick up. I'm not sure I'd want to be with that many boys in one cabin for the week.

 Kids are looking forward to going back next year! Hopefully our schedules won't be so crazy!!

Marlie turns 12!

Marlie turned 12 on June 11th! For her birthday I surprised her with tickets to see Aladdin and she brought her sweet friend Maya with her. We loved the show, especially the genie!

She had a few friends over to hang out and swim. I love these sweet girls. They know Marlie so well that 2 of them actually bought Marlie the same gift!

 

NJHS Ceremony

So excited that both Matt and Marlie were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society this year. We love our activities but school is always a priority in the Maziur house. Thankful that they've been able to keep up their grades and be good leaders in school while dancing, playing music and doing sports!

C2 Baseball in Full Swing!

Our baseball team is in full swing this spring and absolutely killing it! They are ranked top in state and only have a few losses. They have started playing up in the 14U division and are still doing well. I love this team. The coaches and the kids. They fight hard and manage to pull off wins even when they're down. They've won 3 tournaments already!

My favorite was this first one before spring break. The boys froze in the cold and rain. They played 4 games and made it to the championship game. Extra innings, down by 2, 2 outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd. Matt is up to bat and hits a ball right over the 2nd basemans head to win the game. It was so fun. The boys were exhausted but managed the best dog pile. This was a hard earned win! Matt got to bring home the championship belt!

  Boys got to enjoy and ATM baseball game before their games at Franklin Ranch. 

This was just this weekend. 14U tournament in LaPorte. Started Sundays first game going into extra innings and won. In the 2nd game they were down 6-1 and came back to win in the last inning. Championship game down 3-1 in the last inning and came back to win 7-3!

WMS Spring Sports Banquet

The booster club does a great job putting together celebrations for our teams and the Spring Sports Banquet was another great night.

Basketball, track and cheer teams were honored. Matt's basketball team went undefeated in district. The 7th grade boys track team won the district meet too! Matt received Offensive Player of the Year for basketball!

Corey, Matt & T!

These are my Matts! I love when they're playing together on the court and I can cheer for the Matts! Defensive and Offensive Players of the year!

Taeveon got MVP for the season!  

The boys loved having Coach Barnes as their coach. He did a great job teaching them to play the game, getting as many kids as much playing time as possible and also making them work hard! Everyone hopes they circle up with the boys next year.

YoungLife Banquet

I had on my heart to start YoungLife at our high school for awhile now and I'm super excited that as of this year we officially have YoungLife at Summer Creek High School!

We had our annual Banquet and it was a great success! We raised almost $120,000 and had a great night. We played Bingo, had a nice dinner and enjoyed a great program!The YL kids from Kingwood and Summer Creek helped all night with setup, serving and cleanup. Such a great group of kids and leaders!

This is our Area Director, Casey Prescott. He's young, passionate about YoungLife and passionate about the Lord. Excited to have him leading the program in our area. He has grown the Kingwood ministry and it's so fun every week to see pictures of so many kids at Club and Campaigners. 

This is Meghan Rue, our new leader for Summer Creek HS! Meghan has been working hard this year training leaders, meeting kids and getting YoungLife up and running. We are so thankful for her passion for ministry work and moving to Houston to serve in this role. 

It was great to hear the kids speak about the impact YoungLife has had on them! 

It was super cool that our high school Principal, Brent McDonald and his wife Angie joined us as well as head football coach Coach Harrison and his staff. The high school soccer coach, Coach Owino also came to support YoungLife. So exciting! 

Matt Forbes and Doug led the live auction and did a fabulous job! We raised $6,000 in the live auction thanks to the wonderful items that were donated and our auctioneers talent!

It was such a wonderful night! Thank you to those on YoungLife Committee who worked so hard to put this together. Thank you to everyone who hosted a table and brought friends! And thank you to everyone who showed up and donated to help keep YoungLife going strong in our area!!
