Owen has become pretty involved in things related to basketball. I think it is because Papa has starting playing basketball during the week. He wanted to do basketball this year, so we signed him up through his school for youth league that includes 4 or 5 other Catholic schools in the area. Anyone 4-8 can play (PreK-2nd grade) and so there is a wide range of skill levels and ability, but they are having fun.

Cheering for the other team as they made their foul shots.
Our turn to take our foul shots. At the beginning of each half, everyone gets to shoot a foul shot. That way everyone gets to at least try to make a basket.

Check out those moves!

Owen is VERY excited to play basketball and his skills are improving rapidly. We have practice every Tuesday and games every Saturday through the end of February. We will be a very busy family. Chris is coaching Owen's team (and Beki is assisting him) and there is another assistant coach. We have nine kids on the team and there are no "over-bearing" parents so far. Hopefully it will be a fun season.
