He's still got it!!!

Daddy is still on fire!!!  Birch plays basketball twice-a-week in the early morning hours before he heads to work but it has been awhile since he has played on the ward basketball team.  This year the stake decided to ramp up the competition a bit by making Stake Men's Basketball more organized and hiring paid refs.

Birch hasn't been able to play every week due to church meetings or not feeling awesome but the weeks he has been able to play he has really enjoyed it.  Recently the whole family was able to go cheer on Daddy as we had no school the following day.  It was like a blast from the past when I used to have three or four little kids in jammies next to me on the sidelines cheering on their daddy.  Only this time I didn't have to keep them from trying to sneak on the court.

My indoor sports photography is obviously lacking but let me tell you -- Birch is fast!!!

BAM!!  Three pointer!!

I love watching Birch play because he is competitive but has good sportsmanship and is kind to all the players.  He might have accidentally broken an opposing team member's nose earlier on in the season but other than the whispers when Birch goes into stake meetings the actual guy was so sweet about it. 

I'm hoping we get to catch a few more games this season!!!
