Upward Basketball

We love Upward basketball. If you have never heard of it before, it is a wonderful Christian sports program. They have all kinds of different sports but around here they just play basketball. The kids learn a bible verse each week, half way through each practice they have a little bible study time, and half time of the games they have a devotional with the fans. It is so great! It's all positive, no negative yelling. The refs even help the kids to learn what they are doing wrong. Anyway, this was Mia's second year. She improved so much since last year. It amazes me to see little Kindergarten and first graders out there playing. Saturday was her last game and Monday night was her awards ceremony. So proud of her for getting out there and working so hard!

At the awards ceremony each player gets prize and this year it was a basketball. Mia is so proud of it. She also got a medal that she was pretty excited to add to her collection. They also do a drawing with all the players name. Last year Mia won so I told her that this year she would probably not win again. Guess what? SHE WON! Crazy! She won this blue pillow that she has now been sleeping with since. The season was fun but I cannot express how excited I am to have nothing to do this Saturday! It's been awhile....
