This was Tyler's 2nd year to play basketball. This year we choose to play Upwards at our church. Steve was the coach. Upwards is different because at each practice the team does a short devotion and has a verse to learn or read. Then, at half-time of each game, a pastor does a short, 3 minute devotion with the crowd and prayers!
This was the awards ceremony!
Our crazy boy! 
The team sat together waiting for their turn to go on stage and be introducedand get their certificate!
Jaden wants to be a basketball player SO BAD--so he sat with the team.
He also loves to be with his big brother and do what his brother does!
Paige sat with me most of the night, but she did take a turn sitting on Daddy's lap.
Tyler and "his coach"!(Jaden is already asking Steve when he will be his coach!)
On a side note--Steve doesn't "love" coaching. At this age, it's like baby-sitting for 8 kids.
He was amazed how parents would come to practice, but not help with their kids!
At the end of the night, each player got a lunch bag. Of course, the boys were THRILLED!!
The TeamDeb was Steve's assistant coach and she was FABULOUS. She was an Aunt of one of the boys. She brought b-ball chocolate and pencils to practice as rewards. And, bought all the boys small gift bags at the end of the season. She was a great asset to the team!
