Basketball Games 3 and 4

The last two Saturdays Drew and Mikayla have had games. I don't have pictures from these games, however because last Saturday I forgot my camera and yesterday the batteries were dead. I am most upset about this because last Saturday Drew scored his first basket of the season, and then yesterday he scored several more. They don't have games this Saturday, but you can believe in 2 weeks I will have my camera ready with new batteries!

Mikayla is still doing a fantastic job with cheering as are the 6 other little girls on her squad. One of the moms had a great idea to get buckets for the girls to sit on when they are on the sidelines so they don't have to sit on the cold gym floor. She picked up the buckets and coaches, Stephanie and Kellie, painted their names and polka dots on them. They are so cute and some of the other cheer coaches have asked about them, thinking of getting them for their squads. Now they do two cheers at half time and they cheer quite a bit on the sidelines. What I am most proud of is that they are getting louder so that everyone can hear them! I love seeing Mikayla smile during the game like she's having the time of her life. Keep it up sweet girl!!

Basketball has been very different this year. Drew moved up to the 6 - 8 division (which is actually only 6 and 7 year olds this year because they had so many - thank goodness). Drew is one of the youngest 6 year olds in this division. One of the big differences is they keep score this year. The boys are also a little rougher this year, with some of them even taking the ball from their own teammates. It has taken Drew a little bit to adjust to this, but I have noticed improvement in each game played, especially the game yesterday. Keep it up wild man!!

I hope to have pictures of the game on here next time, and maybe even videos...stay tuned
