bella and meredith
are both playing basketball this year.
they play through a christian organization call upward.
the league is non-competitive and requires
that kids be evaluated for their skills before the season
so that the teams can be put together evenly according to skill.
it is an awesome program
and i am very impressed with the girls' skill levels and improvement.
they are given uniforms to wear and this year's colors are green...
i love it!
everyone has the same uniform and they're reversible.
at the beginning of each game,
they turn the lights down in the gym,
run a disco light,
and play that "ready to rumble" jock jams song
as they announce each player,
just like in the NBA.
sooooo cute!
it's everything i can do to keep from jumping out of my seat,
running out on court,
grabbing my little girl and
showering her with kisses.
i am so proud of my daughters.
growing up, i never played a sport.
it wasn't that i couldn't, there were lots of opportunities.
but i just didn't have the confidence.
i was so worried about messing up,
not being good enough,
or embarrassing myself.
i'm so glad that my daughters
don't care.
that they have the ability and the confidence
to play.
i have to say that i think i enjoy it
just as much
or more than they.
watching them is amazing,
adorable, and fun.
