still no win
this past weekend Sydney had her second to last basketball game with her Upwards team. The girls are definitely showing improvement, but still no win :( They played hard, Sydney scored for her team again (Yay!) and they only lost by 9 pts. Final scoe 17 to 8. The lowest scoring game so far, which goes to show their defence is getting better. One more game to go. Who knows, maybe they'll win?!

SCORE!
Well even though Sydney's basketball team (the Diamonds that is) has a slim chance of finishing off the season with at least one win, she has managed to score a few times against the monsters they call the other team (or the so-called Emeralds). This past Saturday they gave them a run for their money only trailing 10 pts behind in the end. Sydney contributed with an assist, and scored 2pts for the team!
I guess I should explain that in the league she's playing on now, they only had enough girls sign up to make two teams. And while her team is a pretty good mixture of 4th-6th graders with some skills, but still learning at the same time, the other team is made of mostly ginormous 6th grade girls with a few years experience, and freakishly tall 4th and 5th graders. BUT that doesn't get them down. They give it their ALL Everytime and Never Give Up! Plus it's great practice for when they get into middle school and high school. It'll give them an edge. While these other girls, which have not been fully challenged, will be faced with "real" competition someday and not be prepared for it. At least that's what I tell myself ;-)
We have a couple more games left...it sure would be nice to win one.
"GO DIAMONDS!!!"

sports, sports, sports
The kids have been enjoying their extra-curricular activities, and as usual mom is snapping the pictures. Sydney played basketball for both the PHASD and Upwards this year and just loves it!
Sammy played flag football again this past fall and we just signed him up for T-Ball, which will be starting up in the spring. They both recently started back up in their swimming classes and are really excelling. Sydney has always been a strong swimmer, but I never really noticed how well Sammy can swim as well...who knows, maybe we're looking at future Olympians! :)
