My Basketball Girl...

Well apparently my daughter has a liking for basketball! She summoned up the courage to try out for her school team... and... MADE IT!!!!

She was so excited that she made it! She let everybody know! Ok, if you saw my FB page, you know that I told everybody too!!! :) (I'm a proud mommy that way!)

She's had 2 practices a week and has improved her skills with each one. This week they started playing games. Marley was writing little notes saying how nervous and scared she was to be in an actual game. I can completely understand those feelings... been there done that myself!

Moe had talked about wanting some snacks to help her energy for the game, and so I thought that if she was feeling that way, the other girls on the team might want a little something too. I bought them each an apple, a small gatorade, string cheese, and some other fun stuff. The snacks were a big success!!! It's not going to be something I do every game though...

They had their first game and their score came up a bit short. Marley got to play a little bit and almost scored a basket at the end of the game!!! She's got a good drive!

Here are a few pictures that we caught of the team...
