A day of basketball

Yesterday morning we all went to Brandon's youth league game. Although Brandon is still learning, he's becoming quite the defensive force. Last week, he was playing such good defense on the kid he was guarding that the kid started pushing Brandon with his elbows out of frustration. This week, he played good defense once again and also made great assists.

Here are a couple of pictures from this week's game.


Later that afternoon, I took Steven, Kylie, and Kaylin to the BYU game (Brandon was at a movie with a friend). The tickets were only a buck, but they were in the nosebleeds - as you can tell from the picture below - that's as far as the camera would zoom in. BYU hammered Wyoming. We were up 20+ with about 8 minutes left so we ventured across the Marriott Center to see our friend Blair and his fiancee and her new rock and then left to beat traffic. When Steven realized we weren't going to watch the rest of the game, he got very upset. The tears were flowing. Poor kid. I'll have to take him to another one.

Sensitive much Steven? I have a few kids like that! Marin's hearing aids are the Oticon brand - and paid for by the government, so unless they damaged her hearing, I probably wouldn't sue even if they did malfunction...

Good job Brandon! We want to come watch one of your games sometime. You'll have to let us know when they are.

It looks like Brandon found his niche; I think Basketball is going to be in his blood!

Way to go Jon, You're a good Dad!
