Lizzie Plays Basketball

Lizzie decided that she wanted to play basketball this year.  It has been a while since we have had someone playing basketball at this level and I forgot how "interesting" it can be.  The important thing is that Lizzie says she likes it!


It took a few games, but she finally learned that she needed to be in FRONT of her player when on defense.  
 Practicing lay ups.

 Playing point?  Something like that


 As the ball gets further and further away from her, the tongue goes out further and further!

 Well, she knows she should have her hands up on defense.  BUT, now she needs to learn that she needs to turn around towards the basket if she ever wants to get a rebound or not get hit in the head!!!

Illini Basketball

Brian surprised Jacob with tickets to the Illinois/Michigan State Basketball game.  Jacob, being the only Illini fan in the house, was surprised that his dad would not only get those tickets but actually take him to the game!  Being the awesome dad that he is, Brian not only took him but also let him get concessions!  

Jacob had a good time AND the Illini actually won by 2!

Ready to head to the game!
