This past weekend, Jake’s 5th grade basketball team entered into a Blue Valley Pre-Season basketball tourney for the first time to change up their competition.  It was a weekend of ups and downs and they came up a little short in the semi-finals.

However, it was a fun weekend checking out some schools we’ve never been to before and facing some great teams!  Jake, you played your heart out, made lots of baskets, sunk a 3 pointer in a clutch situation, and most importantly, you were an awesome team player.  We love watching your team play and cheering you on.  Even though, my bottom will never be the same after sitting on those bleachers all day.  Padded bleachers should be the new invention of the future! please!

After getting up at 6:30am for a chilly outdoor soccer training, playing two intense basketball games, we let him skip his afternoon soccer training.  Then at 7pm, he suited up for an indoor soccer game against a great team they really wanted to beat.  Is it bad when your soccer coach notices and comments about the bags under your eyes?   Under normal circumstances, the more sports the better for this guy, but sometimes it’s just a little too much and this sports fanatic was out of gas by the second half of the soccer game. No worries Jake, there are many more games in your future (in fact, you have one tonight again) and your body can only take so much when you’re fighting a nasty cold.   I’m so proud of your effort this weekend!  Maybe you should take Drew’s wise words, and just take a hot bath 😉
