Jr. Jazz
Ashlyn and Logan have started Jr. Jazz. Logan is very aggressive. He is the strongest defensive player on the team. I guess having an older brother who is constantly stealing the ball from him might be the reason he is so good. Last game he made a nice basket as well.
Ashlyn on the other hand is a very different story. I never seen someone play so girly. Although she is pretty fast when she wants to be, she spends more time prancing down the court. She puts up her hands up to protect her head when someone passes to her. She will catch a bounce pass. One of the boys from her class is always trying to pass her the ball. One of these days he'll give up. She spends the whole game just running up and down the court watching the game. We might have to practice a little with her before we put her in sports again. She does like the jersey as long as she gets to be the green team. She had a full on melt down when she had to be white for the first time. She kept saying, "Is this cute? No!" I guess what should I expect from my daughter who wants to be a supermodel. I forgot to take pictures of her. I will have to add them. She does look cute in her uniform.
Connor's Birthday
I can't believe that Connor is 10. It is weird to think that he will be a teenager in a few years. Happy Birthday Connor. We love you!!
Wheeler Farm
We went down to Wheeler Farm one day when the kids had school break. All the kids had fun picking a pumpkin. The little kids also liked the corn maze and hay ride. Connor wasn't overly excited about most of the activities. After Wheeler Farm we headed to Gardner Village. It was a madhouse. We couldn't believe all the people. The witches are fun to see but we will avoid UEA weekend from now on. Wheeler Farm was much more fun. I think we'll try that again next year.
Cool Utes Gear
Connor has a friend whose dad helps transport the Utes equipment. Once in a while we will go down on the field after the game. This friend will take the boys in the locker room and the boys raid the cool stuff that the players leave on the ground (garbage). Logan is sporting the skull cap that was really a sleeve of an Under Armour shirt. He was especially excited about the mouth piece he found. Yuck! We boiled it for a good long time but it is still gross. Luckily he realized that it was far too big for his mouth. The boys love the times spent in the locker room and on the field. The last time we went Coach Whittingham spent some time talking to them. He even gave them some candy--like the experience wasn't enough. They also love getting autographs from the players and playing on the field. It is impossible to get them off the field. I don't think the boys realize how lucky they are.
