Go Blazers!!

We officially have two more basketball players in the family!!  In the fall, we asked the boys if they wanted to play fall baseball and they said they wanted basketball.  Well, basketball is not offered until winter, so it was a long wait!!  They are playing through the Y and so far are really liking it!  They have had 4 games and have 4 more games.  Already, we are seeing so much improvement!!!  Almost every day, they practice in the driveway.  Jacob wants to be JJ Barea and tries all kinds of wild shots, but we force him to work on the basics!  The 8 foot goal was hard for Rylan at first, but he is finally getting comfortable with his shot.

Rylan is our defensive specialist!!! He has great hands and (politely) frustrates the offense!

 Jacob has ball-hog tendencies (they kind of all do), but he is really good at bringing the ball down the court.  I'm pleased with his ball control.

 Jacob on defense... He is VERY aggressive!!! The last game he stole 4 passes (which is allowed) and 5 or 6 dribbles (which is NOT allowed).  He flops all over creation going for the ball (much like his momma!hahaha)  He is one tough cookie!

 Rylan in the passing lane... He blocked 3 passes last game!

 The the Blazers biggest fans... Granna and GPop...

 and Momma and Daddy!

All the games and practices are at my old elementary, which is really neat for me!  The gym is updated since the 1980's and is really nice now!  We are so proud of the boys and cannot wait to see them get better and better each week!
