Basketball

Basketball is consuming right now, but I’m loving every minute. Everyday as I pick up the little girls and head to the big girls games, they ask me “When is basketball over, they have already played 100 games”. I reassure them with a grin that there are a few more games until the end of the season. I then dig through my purse to make sure there is enough change for the little girls to get treats at the concession stand to entertain them. Anything with food is better!

Oh how I enjoy watching basketball! There is a sweet dad with a REALLY SWEET camera lens that has been taking a lot of pictures of the girls. Here are some pics to remember these busy basketball days.

Kaylee is underestimated because she is so small, however that girl is pure muscle and strong! These next two pictures show that strength of her pushing through.

Here was Kaylee’s first three pointer of the year. She told me that night, as soon as I got the ball I could just feel that I was going to make the shot. I love that she was mentally into the game and feeling it!

I can see the determination in Kaylee’s face on this one and yes she took off from the free throw line and DUNKED it!

Rebecca is playing on the C team and Kaylee JV.  I feel like basketball season flies by and soccer drags on. The girls have already started playing soccer with the high school girls on an indoor team and with outside open practices. I can’t believe when they stay after school for two hours of soccer scrimmaging and then walk over to the gym and practice for two more hours basketball. Maybe if I worked out that long I would have the muscles that they do.

I’m still trying to persuade them to believe that basketball really is the best sport…….
