Basketball!

Basketball season has arrived for the Myers house! Dave and I couldn't be more thrilled that Taylor is playing basketball again this year! We've made a big change and left the YMCA and have joined a new organization called Upward. I have to tell you that I've been really impressed by the whole thing. Each practice focuses on a fundamental that the kids should be working on. The kids earn stars to iron onto their t-shirts during both practices and games and the stars represent different things; hard work, team work, etc. Dave is coaching Taylor's team and they both seem to be having fun! She's had two games so far- she's yet to score but is bound and determined to get the ball into the hoop!

Here she is before her first game! She was so excited to have a REAL uniform! :)

The true highlight though is that before each game they call out the kids names and they get to run through this tunnel! Even Maddie was almost convinced to play to just be able to run through the tunnel! She quickly decided against it once she saw the girls playing in the game :)

Even the coach's get to run through it :)
