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!
