basketball

Both Joey and Kylah have been playing basketball this season. This is Kylah's first year to play, and she loves it! Joe is coaching both of their teams, and I think Kylah has especially loved having daddy as her coach since she's never had him before.

 

Kylah is just so cute out there with her headband.

 

She is a hustler and has really learned a lot this year.

 

She gets a sweaty, red face with white around her mouth and nose just like I used to! :)

 

Joe has never coached girls before, especially 1st and 2nd grade girls. He learned quickly, though, how to deal with them, and he did a great job!

 

 

Joey was really fun to watch this year too. He works so hard out there. And he LOVES it. He usually has a smile on his face still the entire game. :)

 

And Joey is still usually the tallest one out on the court... :)

 

Norah is still too little to play basketball, so she sits in the stands with me or runs around the gym.

 

What a fun basketball season it's been. This is the last week and then we'll be moving on to baseball/softball.

 

Oh, and speaking of basketball, Joe got to show his basketball skills at the high school game a few weeks ago. They always do a free throw contest at home games by drawing a random ticket number. The person gets 30 seconds to make as many free throws they can, and they get $20 per made basket. Joe has been hoping to get his number called for years now. He made a deal with Joey that if Joey's number got called that Joe would go shoot for him if he wanted and then Joe would split the money with him; or Joey could go shoot them on his own. Well, Joey's number got called. He quickly gave his ticket to Joe. Joe went out there and made 8 free throws! So after splitting the winnings, Joey made an easy $80 that night... :)
