Upward

Hannah and Lincoln are doing Upward Basketball and Cheerleading again this year.  Hannah will say she doesn't like it, but I know she really does.  She is good at it too!  Last week she got to kind of be the captain for half the game.  Her coaches did something new where they were sitting on the sidelines and would hold up a sign of what cheer to do.  She would yell the name of the cheer and say "5, 6, 7, 8" and then start the cheer for everyone.  I could tell she ate that up!  She loves to be in charge! Ha!  Here are some random pictures from the last few weeks.

Here are a couple of videos too!






Lincoln has enjoyed playing basketball.  He is all over the place!  He is definitely a hustler and loves to get the ball so he tries really hard to get it.

He is on the ground alot!  Ha!

His defense cracks us up!!  We laugh so hard at him.  He gets on his man and he stares him down.  Sometimes he will have them completely cornered!!  It is hysterical.  We have tried to remind him that he has to know where the ball is too!  He typically makes a couple of shots a game.

I love Upward because it is not focused on the competition.  They don't obsess over practices and they reward the kids after each game and tell them what they did right.  They are encouraging as well.  Good stuff and exactly what I think my kids need at this age especially!
