What An Awesome Day!!!!

Today was frickin' awesome!

 As we were driving this morning, the sun not even up yet, the car packed with the whole family, camera, snacks, a loaded diaper bag :o) I thought to myself how did our son get this old already.  Driving to different towns for games already! WOW! Austin started YBA basketball a few weeks ago, practicing twice a week-they are separated into two groups 5th & 6th graders.  And today was our first set of games.  They call them tournaments but there isn't any tiered playing...you just play the teams on your schedule for that day.

We started out kinda rough, these 5th grade boys having never played against other kids before.  But by the third game of the day they were playin awesome! I haven't yelled so much since summer baseball! My throat is seriously sore now :o) and poor Andy had a hard time watching at times-being a ex-basketball star ya know...he's all technical and we had a crappy ref in our third game. These kids played their hearts out and it showed.  Boog will sleep good tonight, he pretty much played throughout all three games.  We have 9 kids on the 5th grade team so they can rotate some in and out.  We played Osakis, Brandon/Evansville, and Sauk Centre at Sauk Centre.  They have 3 more "tournaments" before the season is over...

It was awesome to see all the parents and grandparents there supporting our boys! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for coming today!

The team!

She was cheering so hard that she had to take a nap for a bit :o) It didn't even phase her when we yelled right next to her!

Supporting her big bro!

My favorite pic of the day....look at that kid-giving 110% he said he was channeling his inner Michael Jordan!
