Any given Saturday

My basketball stars

Flamin Rockets acting silly

My sweet children

Owen practicing for the game

Katelyn and her friend doing a dance

Flamin Rockets showing their joy

Going over the plays before the game

Prayer before the game

I'm open, I'm open...

Doing a great job guarding

My baby, so tall compared to the others

Prayer before the game

If your looking for us on a Saturday, you better check the courts...basketball courts that is. Both of the kids are playing basketball this season. Owen's first time ever, and he actually is pretty good. He has made the first point in the last two games. He is much better at this than he was a flag football and seems to enjoy it more. He has a awesome coach...his dad. Joe signed up at the last minute when we found out that Owen's team was without a coach. There were two assistant coaches, but since they don't attend our church they could not be the head coach, so in stepped Joe. He was just supposed to do the devotionals, but it has never been that way. He instantly was in there teaching the boys, who are in first and second grade how to play ball. They are fun to watch, lots of traveling, some double dribbles, but when a basket is made the excitement they show is better than any words. Owen is having a great time playing and the boys are learning to work together as a team.

Katelyn has a new team this year. Her coaches from last year wanted to move up to play the extreme league against seventh and eighth graders. Joe and I talked about it and spoke with Katelyn about it and choose to not put her into that type of situation just yet. We figure she will grow up fast enough as it is, their was no need to push her to play sports against girls, two to three years older. We wished the coaches from last year good luck and looked forward to meeting who would be her coach this year. Coach Hanson is her head coach and Joe is her assistant. They work well together, and Coach Hanson is doing an awesome job. Funny thing about it is Katelyn knows almost every girl on her team, one she hasn't seen since Kindergarten. This is how we spend our Tuesday and Thursday nights, as well as our Saturdays. So if you need us just look to Lake Pointe and come cheer on our teams.
