More Basketball

Well, we have finished the first basketball tournament. I'm sure that this will not be our last. Kelton shot the ball but it bounced off the rim and didn't go through. In the second half Arthur made a basket and was excited. Couldn't tell who was more excited for him, him or Kelton. Ahh! Brotherly love!
Here are some pictures.

Kelton's missed basket. Kelton is #55

Arthur's made basket took the game from 3-12 to 5-12. They lost 7-18. Arthur is #11

Basketball

Today was a day full of basketball. We had Upward Basketball this morning. Stephen has now made 67 baskets in the past 7 weeks. Arthur and Kelton are getting better everyday and are learning what being teammates really mean.
After Upward Basketball we headed to Republic for a tournament that Kelton and Arthur were to play. They have been practicing with a team of 3rd graders(mostly their friends) just to learn some more basketball skills and just to have fun. I know what you are thinking, Arthur is not in 3rd grade. He was asked to be on the team to make a team of 10. I think Kelton likes playing with his brother on the team. I know Arthur loves playing with Kelton.
In the tournament today they lost both games, but they improved greatly from the first game to the second game. Afterall, improvement is better than score at this age. I will post tommorrow how they do. Plus add some pictures.
They play tommorrow at 7pm. Kelton was ready to tell his coach that they could not play tommorrow because he had to go to church at that time. I told him I'm sure we could miss church this one time. Kelton is already standing up for his faith. I pray that he continues to do that and that his father and I have the energy to help him and his brothers.
Check back later for pictures and more basketball and boys!

Been awhile

Sorry it has been awhile since I have written anything on here. I started a facebook and it seems I am addicted to checking in with all the people on there. My best friend from Elementary School and some friends from High School on Facebook. It has been pretty fun.
Last week we had a scare. Stephen had strep throat and it is the strain that accompanies Kawasaki Disease. He had a high fever for three and a half days. The doctor told us that Kawasaki can be treated if caught while the child still had a fever. It attacks the heart and blood vessels. It is caused by high fevers and that particular strain of strep throat. His fever fell so he did not have to go to the hospital.
Today Arthur came home sick, not strep thank goodness.
Well, I will try to update more often.
Hope this finds everyone well.
