John and I drove to Idaho Falls to watch Colton play in his league championship basketball game. Colton's team had won 17 straight games without a loss. Greg has been the coach of the team and done a great job. We were able to watch a practice game first and we were impressed with the abilities of the 3rd grade basketball players. When the championship game started, I couldn't believe all the bumping, elbowing, working for position, and great shots that were made. I kept thinking, "These are little 8 year old boys." They are very competitive and talented. Unfortunately, Colton's team was down by 10 at halftime. They had already beaten this team earlier, but things weren't going well for his team. Colton's team played hard and came within 3 points. Colton's team didn't win this game, but they were still the league champions, just not the tournament champions. The boys took the loss pretty hard and I had to wipe my tears to see their disappointment. This game reminded me of all the times our children had disappointments and how we, as parents, felt their sadness more intensely than they may have. We were very impressed with Colton's point guard abilities. So fun to watch him grow up and develop his talents. Colton is my WINNER always!
John sat in the very back with Cannon on the way to the game
John spent time lifting Crew up to the hand
sanitizer. Crew thought that was fun.
Emily and Crew
Cannon had to shoot baskets during halftime and time outs. Every time we would praise Colton on his game skills, Cannon would say, "What about me? I can play basketball."
Notice Colton trying to get the ball---Colton didn't ever back down. He is so tough!
Greg was encouraging the team at halftime
One of the player's little sisters was the
cutest cheerleader---GO TEAM!
Colton played great as point guard
Creed looks so good for a little boy with a stay in the hospital in February

As we drove back to Utah, Crew was outside getting ready to start another sport. Such a cute picture of him getting his mitt and ball ready for Spring
