LAX

LAX (lacrosse) not to get confused with LAX (Los Angeles International Airport).

This is the new sport that all the boys are crazy about. Because Will now plays Lacrosse, the other boys all need to have their own sticks, lacrosse balls and learn all the drills and new rules. It's pretty cute to see them all outside playing together... practicing....
 
Will plays for Olympus and his team has had 3 games. They are 3-0!! Way to go boys!! Will is #12 and is doing a great job, getting better and better with every practice and game. It's been fun for me and the rest of the family to learn about this new sport. Every game we learn a couple of new rules.

Go Olympus!! Go Will!!

Basketball!

 Jackson, Tyler and Gavin started basketball a few weeks ago. They have practice once a week and games every Saturday. They all seem to enjoy playing and practicing at home. Scott and I bought them each a basketball to practice drills and shooting.

 Tyler usually scores 3-4 times each game! He's a maniac out there!

 Gavin's team does a lot of drills and teaching them the fundamentals of the game. The kid he's practicing with looks waaay too big to be playing in Gavin's league!

 During the games the other brothers get a little bored! They enjoy playing on my phone...

 Scott co-coaches Jackson's team. (Surprise, surprise Jackson's team doesn't have a coach! EVERY sport Jack plays he NEVER has a couch and Scott always has to step up and fill in! What is with that?!?!)
Jackson enjoys playing, he just doesn't have the enthusiasm like the other brothers.

There are 4 more weeks of this season and then another basketball season begins. Not sure if the boys are wanting to play more or be on swim team again. We'll see!

T-ball

 Brig's started t-ball yesterday through The Lions Club. He had so much fun and it was very enjoyable watching him.

They put the kids into three different groups. A hitting station (which he hit the ball the farthest!!)

A running station. They learned which bases to run to and when. (well, kinda!)

And third was a throwing station. He kept chucking his ball way past his partner.



At the end, all the kids did a little cheer and had a snack. Brig's did great! And he had fun!

More Basketball

Like I said earlier, the week long tournament was a blast. Between games, during time-outs and half time all the kids would run out and shoot baskets. It was such a fun week! Above is Tyler shootin' some. He was too young to play this year but is already excited for next year!

My games were on Thursday and Friday night and it was so fun! I did make this shot with a foil, and made the free throw! I received the "ICBYST" award from the tournament. (I can't believe you said that!) Now, I do have a potty mouth. BUT, I never said a single bad word in the entire tournament so I was really confused WHY I had received this award. The main guy running the entire tournament was also a ref for several games. I had told him the ref's for my first game sucked! And that's why he game me the award! (Relief!)

  During the breaks even Gavin would run out and play a little. He'd throw the ball as high as he could and never came close to the rim, but that didn't stop him! He kept throwing the ball over and over again! He was adorable out there!
