Hoop Dreams

We just finished up another Upward Basketball season.
Lexi was on Team Sky along with a few of her soccer buddies,
and Vic was (somewhat begrudgingly) the assistant coach.

Even though basketball's not really his thing,
he ensured these girls had a total blast.
And, they even secured a nearly perfect record,
losing just one game the whole season.

This is my favorite pic 

I love how everyone is just frozen watching your jump shot

(it went in)

Lexi, you brought back a ton of great memories for your mama.
This was the year that things really clicked for you.
Your dribbling has improved a hundred times over since last year.
Your are one determined and pesky little defender.
You absolutely loved stealing the ball
and breaking away for a jump shot.
And you were a scoring machine more games than not.
For real, sweet girl!

We had so much fun watching you
and cheering for your and your teammates.
Here are a few little videos of you in action,
and one of your favorite basketball "trick"
