Basketball!!

I am doing a horrible job of keeping up with our blog!!  There is so much going on in our lives, but I really need to keep blogging, for the sake of family trying to keep up with us as well as for us to have a record of our crazy lives to look back on someday, when our life actually calms down (or doesn't)!

So on that note, let's try this weekly blog thing again!

One of our new activities this season is basketball!  R could not be more excited to have two of his kiddoes playing basketball!

Little R is playing basketball for the first time, and it is nothing short of hysterical!!  Watching 4 & 5 year olds attempt this sport is quite entertaining!  I can't say that Little R loves it, but he happily goes to practice, and gets excited before a game.  So hopefully he will come to love the game!  He is still quite short, so I don't know how successful he will be, but Daddy sure would love for him to be a basketball star!!

Ready for his first game!

Attitude!  He stands like his sister!

Sitting on the bench is almost as much fun as playing in the game!

He has a pretty good shot!

To add to the basketball excitement, A also decided to play basketball for the first time ever!  She is the cheerleader of the family, but after years of being the tallest in her class, Daddy finally convinced her she should give it a try.  She has done quite well, and is finally showing some aggressiveness on the court!  R is the coach for her team, so it has been a fun experience for both of them.  She informed us the other day that she probably won't play basketball again, but she is glad she tried it!  R's dream of a basketball star now rests solely on Little R's shoulders...we will have to wait and see what his passion becomes.

Only 2 girls on the team, and the other one wasn't here this day.  And yes, A is taller than all the boys!

And she has a pretty nice shot, too!
