Basketball Round 2

Today has been a wild day. We had 5 games (2 indoor soccer games, 2 outdoor soccer games, luckily Hunter's outdoor game got canceled, and then we had Lincoln and Hunter's last basketball game. I can't believe we made it to them all). We also made dinner for the missionaries today (which I love doing, the boys love to be around missionaries and my little brother Mark is on a mission right now in Oklahoma), and continued our weekend marathon of "Twister" (so fun, pics to come). Josh worked all day on getting our house better ready to sell and then he had to go to a dinner/auction for work. The boys and I watched "Up" (Love that movie) and then after they were in bed I read them a few chapters of "White Fang" (Oh how I love reading classic books with my boys. I have goals to read all of the good ones with them). The house is now quiet, I am alone, and exhausted and it feels really good. I love Saturdays for that reason. I know I have had a really good Saturday when I go to bed really tired. Either we have worked hard or played hard, but those are the best kinds of Saturdays to me. Anyway, today was Lincoln and Hunter's last basketball game of the season. I haven't posted any pictures yet of this basketball experience and so I thought it time.

Josh has coached for a lot of years, for a lot of sports. When he coaches through our local fitness center he gets a voucher for one of our kids to play a sport for free. We saved up three of them and then realized that we had better use them before we move. The boys all got to play basketball twice this year, which they really loved. They improved like crazy over these past two seasons.
Hunter, always the goofball out on the court, but I was so proud of him. He tries so hard through the whole game and even though everyone is pretty much older and bigger than him, he plays his heart out.
McKay is getting better at these games (or we are getting better at bringing toys and treats to keep him busy). Josh decided not to coach indoor soccer and basketball this time and I have loved it (okay he caved and was an assistant coach), but it has been nice to have him sit with the kids and me.
Both Hunter and Lincoln are figuring out basketball, and having a great time!







It has been a good season. Basketball didn't end a moment too soon as there was no way we could have played all three sports (I don't know how we are going to do indoor and outdoor soccer for the next 4 weeks), but it was fun while it lasted (I will post pictures of their actual last game soon).
