Shoot For the Moon 2

You may remember last year when I posted about Wes playing in the Sylvania Teachers All-Stars vs. the 13 ABC All-Stars in a fundraising basketball game. He was recruited to play again this year. They were raising money to send all of the 5th grade students from Sylvania schools to the Challenger Learning Center. It is a competition between all of the elementary schools in the district to see who has the most fans and are the loudest. Stranahan (Wes' school) didn't have the most students but they were very well represented and the kids were fired up! Several of his kindergartners were there, as well as some of his former students. He had a whole fan

club complete with some signs that said "Rethman Rocks"! The signs from last year were hung again and the picture of his face on a stick was there too! His principal said he can't have the

signs until retires because he's going to have play every year! I roped my parents in this year

because I just knew the girls would be a bit of a handful considering the game started at their bedtime. I was so glad to have them there because it was pretty tricky to keep them entertained. They were so hot and antsy. Sadly, I missed the last few minutes of the game because Miss Stella had had enough and her and I went to cool off in the hallway. They looked so cute though in their "Stranhan Reads" t-shirts that Daddy brought home. They are a size 10-12 so I improvised and put a long sleeve black shirt and black leggings underneath and then pulled the extra material to the side and put a pony tail holder on it to keep it in place. Stranahan's colors are orange and black so I even got my parents to sport their colors!

The Sylvania teachers won and it was a great game! Wes did awesome! I can only imagine how cool that must have been to his kiddos to see their teacher playing basketball and kicking butt! Not that I'm not always, but it is times like this that make me feel so proud to be his wife! He is just such an amazing role model for his kids. The man has some mad skills and he looks so darn cute playing ball!

Here he is with 3 of his students. There were others there but they had left by the time we took the picture.
