Sports Fun

This past week brought some fun sports stuff our way:

Willem got to go to a birthday party at Matt Knight Arena where Will and his friends got to shag balls, watch practice and then play some ball with the UO basketball team. Willem brought his iTouch with him for pictures and the only pictures he can get on the iTouch are 'selfies' (the camera and viewing is on the screen side only). I would have loved to see him ask coach Dana Altman and star playing Damyean Dotson for 'selfies' with him :) Willem said the party was so awesome....

This past week, Cade played in his first adult league indoor game with James and Marcus' Dairgold team and he played with me for the first time in our co-ed adult indoor Darigold team. It was so fun watching him and playing with him! It's something we have talked about him eventually doing the past 10+ years as he's watched me and our family play hundreds of indoor games over his 14 years! The co-ed game was especially fun because the team consisted of eight family members (James, Jenn, Marcus, Me, Selene, Mariah, Roman and Cade)! Oh, and we won and both Cade and I scored! This was Selene's first time playing co-ed indoor with us too and before they went out there so play she said, to Cade, with a smirk "Finally, our childhood dreams are coming true!" Love it!...

 

Gabrielle started her St. Paul basketball season with a win last week! It was a lot of fun watching her play and to see how much she has improved since last year in her confidence, skills and athleticism. I also love seeing her have so much fun with her team as evidenced by the pictures I stole from Instagram below of the girls on their drive to their second game. Elle started both games and played about 75% or more of the games. She scored one basket in each game (the games are low scoring affairs 29-23 and 19-26) plus she got a bunch of steals and rebounds...

Here are a couple fun pictures of my friends and my hill runs the past week. In the bottom one, we up Mt. Pisgah rain in a rain and wind storm (the rain started when we were halfway up the hill)! In the top one, we ran up Spencers Butte...

Finally, Chad and I finally got to a Duck football game last weekend. Chad's mom invited Chad and I got to go with my BFF, Chris! We all met up at halftime. It was great company, a great atmosphere and another great Duck win...
