Tucker Basketball...

Tucker started basketball, and loves it. They are the goblins. He has loved it, of course! They have improved so much since their first game. They are still in the stage where whenever they get the ball, they just want to take it straight to the hoop, and shoot, no matter what. But it is so cute, and they are improving. They don't keep score yet, and they don't call travels or double dribbles, which happen constantly!!! :) But the coaches are able to get out there and coach during the game, so they learn, also all of the ref's have been so great also teaching the boys the technicalities of the game, so it's been a great learning experience.

His coach is this cute little old man who is the grandpa of one of his teammates. He is so sweet, and is totally old school. He makes them thank their parents after every game and every practice, he teaches them to congratulate the other team when they make a basket, and they have to play with their shirts tucked in. :) I kind of like it! :)

I love watching my little boy learn these new sports. Sports were such a big part of my growing up, and I'm hoping to pass that on to my kids. I know it's not detrimental to their eternal salvation, but I know that learning these skills, and what it takes to work and be a team and reach goals will totally help them, and hopefully keep them busy enough growing up to not get into too much trouble! :)

They wear these colored scrunchies on their wrists so that they can remember who their guy is to guard. :)

He was spoiled to have my mom, dad, his aunt Kayla and cousin Kenzie all here to watch his first game.

This little lady also loves basketball, and, of course, wants to do all of the sports her brother does...

He was excited to earn a dollar for every basket like he does for every goal in soccer. I told him that wasn't going to happen in basketball, so after some discussion, we decided that he gets ice-cream if he makes baskets. Luckily for us, he has made a few baskets every game and so we've been making some McDonalds and Dairy Queen stops after each game. :)
