Madness

This March we fully embraced the madness that is sports. 

Our ward team won the Stake championship! Mostly awesome because when we moved in Reed was immediately recognized (and welcomed) by some of the guys from earlier tri-stake tournaments. 

After a great winter rec. season, Matts has entered the world of serious basketball. There have been a lot of ups and downs as he adjusts to the intensity. But, it's fun to watch him learn to work hard, hustle and improve.
Shameless brag-he earned MVP in his last game.

This maniac has started lacrosse. He practices at the same field/time as G so it works out perfectly and it's pretty much the cutest thing I've seen.
Basically, T/TH from 4:45-7:30 I made endless loops dropping off and picking up each of the boys from their practices.
On beautiful days, I love it.

After a brief foray into goalie(?) G is back working on his middie skills (especially face-offs). His current goal is to make long stick middie by U13. Which, based on this pic, isn't that far off.

Fueling his fire was the opportunity to play an exhibition match on the HS field. Also fueling his fire, is his nightly reading of the US Lacrosse Rulebook. 

Lastly, in a moment of insanity I folded and let Matts play flag in addition to Bball. Rookie mistake. Let's just say our Saturdays are entirely too crazy and C is a trooper for sitting through hours of games each week.
