B-Ball

This summer Jackson is playing basketball for the very first time. I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is and how darn cute he looks out there! They have been practicing for a couple of weeks and had their first game last Saturday.

Pre-game instructions from Coach Frank:



I have watched Jackson play a few different sports, but I think basketball may just be my favorite. It is just so crazy exciting! I will now apologize for my extreme loudness to my husband and to Kim and Jon who were sitting right next to me. I am pretty sure I yelled the entire game.

And another:




Defending, rebounding, and hustling:





My favorite part just might have been when they all lined up for foul shots. The referee's (who were so fun!) had tell them all multiple times where to stand. They just didn't seem to understand the concept.




They ended up losing, largely in part to the ginormous child who you can see in the pictures above. He stood at least a head and a half taller than any other kid on the court. The league is for boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 9, and I am thinking he must be 9 years, 11 months and 29 days old!

Although they lost, I thought it was beyond great! Plus Jackson had fun, which pushes it into the fantastic range.
