Basketball Season Begins

Basketall season is officially underway and we are all fired up at the Wilson household! Gracie and Cade are on the same team and Halle is in the league above them. I am coaching both teams...bless me! Poor Cade is playing with K5's and 1st graders but I decided to move him up so they wouldn't be in 3 different leagues.....I just can't handle 3, 2 is hard enough! But, he is doing amazingly well, and although he's extra small and not certain of all the rules, he loves it. He spends hours playing in the driveway when it's 35 degrees outside just shooting and dribbling. And Gracie is quite the aggressive defender. She likes to steal the ball and then dribble down and try and score. We've only had 2 games but I can tell with each one she is getting more and more confident and comfortable w/ the ball. And the good news is that they can play again next year in the same league. Overall our team is pretty good.

Now Halle's team on the other hand....well, we are not as good. I will hand it to Halle though. She plays hard and really wants to get better. She comes home in the afternoons and dribbles and shoots in the driveway. It is so cute.....at night when she says her prayers, she says 'I hope God that you will make me better at basketball.' It is too funny!
