Dillon's Basketball

 Dillon played basketball for the first time this year.  Daddy went to almost all of his practices and would work with him a little during and after the practices.  The coaches seemed to be having a hard time directing the kids so most of what Dillon learned was because of that extra Daddy did.  Dillon pratically ran himself into the ground each practice because he gives it his best.  He made huge strides this year and he wants to play again next year.  His natural defensive mindset held true in basketball.  There were several times the coach would ask Dillon to just hang out by the basket to guard whomever got close to shoot.  The coach actually said he wishes he had five Dillon's because he listens and does what he supposed to which would make a great team.  It took him a little while to build up the confidence to be more assertive and try to shoot himself.  Even with the hesitation he typically had a least one basket per game even though his teammates were bad about passing.  He always overcomes his hesitation, no matter what sport he's playing.  He thinks about the game and understands the way it works.  Between that and how much he commits himself to working hard and getting better, he's going to be a great all around athlete.

Snow Day!

The week after we have a no school day (designated as a potential snow make up) we get snow.  We got about 6 inches, we were all super excited.  Kayda and Carson had a blast out there, Dillon never chose to go out.  The snow was much drier than we normally get so they weren't able to make snowballs, it wouldn't hold together at all.  They still had fun though.

Kayda shoveled off the trampoline for me.  As the snow melts it all goes to the middle and sags really bad.
