Yesterday I attended my 7 year old grandson Samuel's basketball game.
He plays in an Upward Church league.
He's #3 in the dark blue
What a great program this is.
How I LOVE watching both Samuel & Isabella's games.
What a game this was, Sam made 6 baskets!! Yippee!
He did great and we had so much fun.

~Isabellas basketball game~

I just got home from my 11 year old granddaughter Isabella's basketball game.
She plays in an Upward Church league. What a great program this has been!
I LOVE watching her (and Sams) games.
Isabella's team is undefeated with 2 games to go.
She did great, only fell once and got her glasses knocked of her face once..
This Grammy just holds her breath and prayers a lot!!
As many of you know Isabella suffers with Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
so these games can be a struggle for her..
Sorry my photos are not the best but you get the idea.
She guarded a girl that was over a head taller then her.
Next week I will get to go to Sam's game.. Yippee!
