"SPARKLING DIAMONDS"

So, as a coach, you also ref. Which means you get to be right ON the floor. So, I frequently grabbed my girls and 'guided' them to where they should have been playing defense or something. I think they did an amazing job with defense....our thing was 'keep your bum to the basket', which they thought was hilarious!

And it was good for two!!!! Not that scoring is all-important, but it is at this stage!




And again! She made four baskets last night, but the most impressive thing was her defense. You can tell her to 'get em' and she's a machine! YEAHHHHH!



I love my sweet Kenna. She has the heart of gold...always taking care of others, and worrying(seriously, she gets this from me, my mom, grandma....a long list of crazies!) for everyone else...and she's very competitive, wanting to do the best at everything. I don't know what she is supposed to accomplish in life, but she came powerpacked with talent and ability!

"Sparkling Diamonds'!!! Doesn't that just sound athletic? That was Kenna's team name for basketball. Last night was the final game for Kenna's little heisey b-ball team. And it was so much fun! I coached her little team this year, which was a hoot! I am so stinking competitive still, and it ws fun to watch it come out in Kenna. Last week we played a team that had this little girl that was AMAZING! So, Kenna asked me yesterday what she could do to play more like Payton. I said, 'if someone shoots it, YOU be the one to get the ball. When you get it, dribble as fast as you can TO the hoop, and only stop if someone stops you.' She was an animal last night!!! It was so fun. And she loved it too...I'm sad its over. Right when you notice progress....anyways, here's some pics of her playing.
Next Monday is Kolbe's last game(for this league, another one starts next week). I'll post a brag on him then!
