Two Can Play at that Game!

Our little dancer has decided she would like to try some basketball like her big brother this year. A big shock to her daddy!! haha!! She was placed on the Grizzlies and cannot wait to get her uniform!! Caitlyn had her first practice last night and it got off to a good start. She is very lucky to have a patient coach! They learned how to dribble, shoot and pass. Caitlyn is not very good at any of those but we didn't expect her to be. She's never really been hands on with a ball before. She's always too busy playing with girly things. But she did really well last night and was eager to learn! She kept looking over at us saying "I did it!!" It was so cute. Everytime she went up to shoot the ball the coach had to lower the hoop for her because there was no way she was getting it in there! I know in time she will get it. She's already asked for a ball and hoop for home!! Her first game is on January 27th. I will definitely have some pictures up from that. We are so proud of her for being so willing to try something new!!


This is Cory's 3rd year in basketball. He is on the Mavericks this year. This is the sport he waits for every year!! He's played Baseball and Football but he doesn't have the same passion for those as he does for Basektball. It's just his thing! I remember him making his first shot into the hoop when he was 19 months old. The excitement I saw in his face, I still see now!! Even though Cory is very good at basketball he does have some flaws. He is a show off!!!! hahahah!! He loves to get the ball passed to him and shoot from way far back. He knows he can make it in but we are trying to teach him it's not about that. He understands he just likes the glory, haha!! He's always said he wants to be a pro-basketball player when he grows up...he's going to be "that guy". The player that shows off and does some weird dance, haha!! But for the most part he is a big team player and knows that it's about the whole team, not just him! He also has a really good coach this year and was lucky enough again to have three of his friends on him team! Cory's first game does not start until February but I will post some pictures of his next practice.

We have some very busy weeks ahead of us. Once games get started we will be out 4 nights out of the week. It's going to be crazy but it's worth it! Having our kids enjoy themselves is very much worth all the chaos we go thru!! GO GRIZZLIES!!!!!!! GO MAVERICKS!!!!!!!
