"You could field your own football team..."

I always remember hearing as kid... "that family could field their own football team..."

Well today we kind of followed that path.

Tripp had his first basketball practice today. It was adorable and he was thrilled to try his hand in the new game.



Quickly after the practice and after the basketball hoop was up there was all out excitement! If there is one thing twins learn from having two older siblings... they want in the game too! They may have to push themselves in there but they'll get themselves in the game!

Each member of the team brings a unique aspect to the game. 

• Thomas on the left is happy with the ball. He wants to hold that ball, run with that ball and when one of the others takes the ball he brings on the tears...
• Tyler is happy and go lucky.... he'll gladly get the ball out of the bushes or run fast and far to help his brothers and sister out. Someone takes the ball - no worries, he'll chase right after you and when tired will quickly move onto another exciting toy
• Juliette... well she can best be described as the referee... depending on if she is in the mood to play naughty or nice she can be a very sweet addition or she can be the mean boss. Trust me she enjoys being the oldest and the only girl....
• Tripp... and here is the basketball player! He is working hard.... working hard on not "fusspussing".... we are working on persistence and a positive attitude when the ball "is just not my friend..." as he loves to tell us.

And when one member of the team needs a little cheering up, there is always another member ready to give out that extra hug and kiss to make everything better!
