Basketball, Basketball and more Basketball!!!

So this is the season for Basketball. We have definitely watched our share of games. Between the games we watch on T.V., High School Boys and Girls Basketball games and the games our kids are involved in, we get a lot of basketball in in a week.

Our family is big basketball fans and we enjoy following the Utah Jazz. They have been doing ok this year, but even on their off games we still cheer for them. Chad bought tickets for us to go to a game this year. We are going on Monday night and the kids are way excited. I will have to post pictures after we go.

Tristi our niece is on the High School Girls Basketball team. We try to support her all we can and try to go to her home games. (We also support the Boys High School team too.)

Bailey is playing basketball for her Middle School team. She is only in 6th grade and they usually don't get to do sports until 7th grade, but they don't have enough 7th graders to make up 2 full teams so they are letting the 6th grade practice and get a little playing time when they need subs on the B team. She had her first game the last weekend and she did a great job. She got thrown into a position that she hadn't practiced very much, but she seemed to pick up on it pretty fast.

What a great steal!!

Tyus is on two teams. One up in Evanston, which is his Jr. Jazz team, and the other one is in Randolph, the Jr. Rebels team. He plays every Tuesday and Thursday in Evanston and on Saturdays in Randolph. Him and his teams have done very well. His Jr. Jazz team has won both of their games and his Jr. Rebels them is 1-1.

Peyton gets to play basketball this year too. His is every Saturday morning and he thinks that he is so big getting to play just like everyone else. From Kindergarten to 2nd Grade they just teach fundamentals, so he really isn't on a "Team". But he sure thinks he is and after they teach them a few things they let them play a little game at the end of each practice.

You have to learn how to dribble before you can play the game.
Peyton has great control with the ball. Keep up the good work buddy!!!

We love going and watch all of the kids and look forward to all of their upcoming games!!!!
