Shoot, Score, Pin...

We are currently enjoying all things sports this fine fall season -- including a few "new to us" sports.

Both Kael & Dax signed up for Jr. Jazz this year.  It's pretty cute to watch them work hard and "attempt" to dribble and run at the same time.  They both have good coaches and cute little teams and seem to really be enjoying themselves.  
They dutifully report back to one another after their games as to how many baskets they made in their match ups.  To say they're competitive would be an understatement - hence the separate teams/grades/etc.  We like to think it's a healthy competition... they both push one another to do better.
Ace Face has been enjoying wrestling.  He is a natural (from what I'm told) and really loved competing in his first tournament and "beating all the guys".  He got a gold medal and another superfluous boost to his ego.  :)
He has surprised us with how much he has learned and absorbed in such a short amount of time.  He knows a few moves, & the names of the moves and basic skills.  I am going to have to study up.  Here I come Internet.
Boone goes from here to there to everywhere... he naps on the go, smiles at new friends he meets along the way, and waddles onto courts, wrestling mats, up bleachers and down hallways.  He is pretty happy unless he has to hold completely still so mama packs lots of snacks and distractions.
This is actually him at church, but seriously, you have no idea how badly I wanted to be Ryno during that snuggly little moment of Sacrament.  He NEVER sits still for too long and Ryan hogged it all!
Also, is he literally a perfect 50/50 blend of Ryno and Kael or is that just me??
Speaking of sports, the Cubbies WON THE SERIES and I'm pretty sure Boone in his b-ball diapers is one of the main reasons why.  That and the crazy rubbing of a lucky rabbits' foot by his older & more superstitious brothers.  True story.  
Those boys went to spring training in Arizona to kick off the Cubs' season and they all sat - a bundle of nerves - watching the final game in the series together.  They're basically members of the team.  Just ask them.  :)
