So one afternoon about two weeks ago Carter informs me that he was invited to play on a Jr Jazz basketball team and he needed to get the paperwork and money in THAT DAY.... yeah gotta love that! But after asking why do you want to do this his response was "it will be a jolly good time"! How can you say no to THAT! So off we went to sign up and his first game was last Saturday.
They are really just playing for fun- and that's evident in this picture where they decided to hike up their shorts like John Stockton! FUNNY!
Basically all these boys play football together and have never practiced- they just want to play!
After warming up a bit and missing almost every basket- it was game time!
The reason Carter is smiling on the bench is because although they only had 6 players to their 11 they managed to jump out to a lead because they were stealing the ball like crazy and hitting a ton of 3 point shots!
It was a pretty fun game to watch! Our guys play some mean defense! We were ahead at the half and the game was close all the way to the end when one of Carter's friends made a 3 point shot to put the game into overtime!
The defense was still great and we made a couple shots and managed to pull out the win! It was crazy! So although this is "just for fun" they are actually doing pretty good.... well, so far!

That is really cool, and the John Stockton Shorts SO made me laugh!! Hilarious. I love that they're playing for fun--I almost wonder if that's why they're doing so well, you know? Not taking it seriously or being stressed, but just having the freedom to go crazy having a good time. And they're probably really skilled, too. :)
I think that's great that your kids are so into sports! I also love that my kids aren't the only kids that tell me about stuff last minute. :)
