march madness 2014

We are in full-on basketball mode right now.

Actually we are dividing time between basketball, baseball and flag football, so our weekends are crazy busy like all of yours, I'm sure.

But basketball is almost done, so I thought I should get some favorites shots added here.

The boys have both learned lots of lessons in being the underdogs this year, but they have had fun.....and they get a snack after each game so that always negates any ill feelings they had about the game, right?

And just because he can......

yes, those are 3rd and 4th graders :)

basketball

Basketball is in full swing for us.

I think this is my favorite sport that they play.  So much fun to watch,

and they both really enjoy it.  I hope they keep playing.

Plus it doesn't involve sitting out in the rain, cold, wind or heat - ever.

Elliott's strength seems to be defense.

Ethan's strength seems to be offense.

You can imagine how much fun they have when they play

each other in the driveway!

I know the pictures are pretty grainy.  The lighting in the gym could be better, so I have to bump the ISO up on my camera.  It's an older camera and doesn't like it's ISO to be bumped.  So it gives me grain instead.  I have a new one coming and I'm hoping it makes a huge difference - so excited!

enjoying the sunshine

We've had a few days in January where it was in the 60s and 70s!

Of course we took advantage of them and got outside and put some sunshine on our faces!

I think this basketball goal was the best idea we've ever had.  Well, it was Brian's idea actually, and

I wasn't too sure about it.  But the boys use it all the time, and their neighbor friends are over enjoying

it often, too.  Yes, Brian, I was wrong.  Mark it down.  It will be the only time :)
