Basketball!!

Tyler and Scott are playing basketball for the first time, and they are having a blast! This is the first sport that have been able to do at the same time so that is kind of neat! This is also the first sport that Tyler has truly been excited about. Scott was excited about baseball last year, but he is also really enjoying basketball. Tyler gets to play on the same team as 4 of his buddies...2 from his previous school and 2 from his new school! Scott is playing on the same team as the brothers of 2 of Tyler's friends. Scott was technically not quite old enough to play, but since he only missed the cut off by a month, the director was willing and thought Scott could be successful.

They had their first games this week. Tyler and his friend, Grayson, came up with a "plan" at school that day for a play they were going to execute. So, early on in the game they did it and it worked! Tyler scored a basket!!!!!!!!!! Boy, was he proud!! :) I actually caught it all on video on my phone, which made it ever better!! That night after the game, Tyler received the first "Player of the Game" award! What a way to start off a season!

Scott enjoyed his first game and really hustled. He was too cute tearing down the court with all that was in him! He was serious about playing defense can kept those arms in the air to block his opponent. :)



Tyler and his 2 best buddies....Grayson and Jack

Our Elf, Buddy, has been up to some funny things!! We have found him hanging from the fan, peering out of the front door window, sticking his head inside Tyler's stocking and turning the milk green!! :) :)
