It is that time of year again. Yep, basketball! As you know, last year was quite an interesting year for Mackenzie and when you throw Alexis into the mix, you get an awesome and fun(funny) game to watch. I will now be talking as if I were Mackenzie or Alexis.
Mack: "Um, I've got the ball and um, um, um, who do I pass it too?"
Mack: "The ball is up in the air, oh no, oh no, now everyone is going to start pushing me around as they try to get it. I am just going to watch and hope it lands in my hands."
Mack: "Gosh! How many times am I going to have to dribble? I wish I could just spin around chasing my butterflies."
Mack: "I think I can do this. Okay, I put my hand here and my other one here and I push as hard as I can. Please little butterflies, help me get it in!"
Alexis: "If you don't go in then I am going to run to my dad and cry!"
Alexis: "Dad, it didn't go in! Kenzie gets hers in but I just can't get my ball up there!"
Daddy: "You're fine, go play!"
Alexis: "But daddy, didn't you hear me? I miss the basket!"
Alexis:"No one will pass me the ball."
Alexis: "I am still going to cry and you can't do anything to make me feel better."
Alexis: "Well maybe something will make me feel better! Don't judge me, if you just slam dunked a basketball you would be happy too!"
Mack: "I love it when it is break time."
Alexis: "But daddy, didn't you hear me? I miss the basket!"
Alexis:"No one will pass me the ball."
Alexis: "I am still going to cry and you can't do anything to make me feel better."
Alexis: "Well maybe something will make me feel better! Don't judge me, if you just slam dunked a basketball you would be happy too!"
Mack: "I love it when it is break time."
Alexis: "I am going to drink as much as I can before Kenzie notices."
Alexis: "I know I should be on defence right now but I look so good in my new basketball jersey."
Mack: "I think I finally get this game. I am totally going to get this rebound."
Alexis: "See, I totally look so cute in my jersey!"
Alexis: " I've got my coach wrapped around my little finger!"
This season has been so fun for Jared and me to watch. Mackenzie has improved so much and Alexis tries so hard that we just have a great time every week. Lex is pretty bi-polar though! One minute she is on cloud nine and the next it is the end of the world because someone stole the ball. Mack could care less though, she would hand the ball to the other team if they asked nicely, but she dribbles so well now and makes a lot of her shots now. We didn't think that she would like to do basketball but she really has a knack for it. Alexis does well due to her sheer determination and ability to charm her way into the ref's and coach's heart. (However, if she starts crying, it drives me crazy!)

That is so cute. I didn't know that there was basketball for little kids. You guys will really be a family full of basketball players.
I think it's GREAT that you and Jared share basketball with your kids! I know it's something you both really like to do, and to have it a part of your kids' life too is neat.
Warren LOVES basketball. I always pictured him playing ball with our kids, and having fun with them on a basketball court- just as you guys do. He doesn't do it very often. In fact, I can count on one hand the times he's played it with our kids. He doesn't have the patience, or want to take the time with our children. I will keep encouraging him and hope he will do this with our kids.
Becasue of how I feel about it- from one parent to another-
thank you for sharing something YOU love, with your kids!
It will give them a sense of loving family and priceless memories. Good job!
They are adorable. Loved the story along with the pictures. :)
Both of them are serioulsy so cute when they play. They're the next michael jordan-ettes!
