The Clone Troopers Week 2

This past Saturday, Jake had two basketball games and the Clone Troopers came out victorious both times! Jake’s energy really started to fade during the second game, plus he had the hiccups, so he wasn’t really into it. But they won anyway so he was excited.


Darrin and I made all these shirts for the league and after last week’s games, the teams started giving us their shirts to be personalized. So I spent some time putting these names on this past week.


This a shot of Jake bragging about the score to his friend Kayla. Kayla belongs to my photo partner, Tracy. There may have been some trash talking in the stands.


Jake, with the inbounds pass.


Jordy, paying rapt attention.


Jake, sizing up his man.


Jake with a smile for mommy, and yup, that’s Daddy reffing the game!


Practicing some shots during half time of game 2.


Working his way towards the basket.

I don’t think he made a single shot during either game, but he definitely made a couple of attempts. This week we worked on rebounding (huge improvement) and dribbling when you catch the ball instead of grabbing it and running (minor improvement). So far though, he loves basketball and that makes Daddy a happy man.
