Carson's basketball game

Carson warming up before a game. They are parcting drills. I love this picture because he is getting air. The boys on his team are surprised just how high carson can jump.

Carson catching a pass. His team forgets that he is only 4 foot 8 inches. Yes, Carson is almost as tall as his sister now. We are so excited. He has had a small growth spurt and we are hoping it doesn't stop. He hasn't hit puberty yet but that has to be right around the corner.


Carson and a fast break. Trying to set up a play.


I love this picture because it looks like the ball is rolling but really Carson id bouncing it down the court. He has been told by many that he has exceptional ball handling control. Most boys are growing so fast that they are a bit clumsy. But not Carson, growing slow and steady.


Carson trying to draw a foul and shooting in the mean time. I love the air this kid can get. He must of inherited it from his Aunt Debi, or Uncle Ruben, these two could jump.


Carson playing a zone defence and doing a great job.


Carson is point guard for his basketball team. He is having fun playing this year and enjoys the team. Most of the team are close friends of his and they are very good boys. Most of the boys are in my mom and dads area and I know most of the parents, as they are my age. Funny how life always makes a complete circle. One concern of Carson's is: All his buddies are going to go to Pocatello High school and we live in the Highland High school boundaries. I would rather him go to school with good friends because aren't good friend what helps keep us all strong and on track.

Yes, good friends help alot... because there comes a point where parents just aren't the kids favorite persons to please. This is a good post. Carson does work so hard. I wish I knew tricks to make some of the game easier. Practice! Practice! Practice! is the key to getting better at anything. But there are some tricks out there that can help with practice. I just don't know them. But it is fun watching him play and practice. Carson does have good ball handling skills. Love, Mom
