Basketball

We signed Jackson up to play winter basketball through the YMCA this season & the season just flew by! Maybe because it was such a busy few months overall? I don't know, but the season came & went in a flash. Luckily, I asked Grandaddy to come & take some pictures of him on the court during the last game of the season. I had been trying to get some decent pictures but my camera kept blurring each shot, no matter what setting i used. So i gave up & called in reinforcements! A reinforcement with a much nicer camera (can i just admit that i covet his camera???)

Here are some pictures of our boy on the basketball court. And can i just say- he is ADORABLE out there. He could NOT look more like his daddy when he is out there because he walks, runs, moves just like him. It is crazy! This season, he tended to do best defensively, but only because he didn't get as much opportunity to play offensively. He has great aim at shooting/passing the ball when we play at home & at both Grandaddy's houses, but he was a little meek & didn't really want to get aggressive to get the ball. So the only real opportunities he had to shoot & pass were when the ball was passed to him. And lets face it- there were ten 7-year-olds out there on the team- it was more like an every man for himself scenario! But i will say that he was the best kid on the team at guarding & that is because he is quick on his feet like his Daddy! I think by next season, we will have our own goal at home & he will feel more confident to get in there & get that ball!
