Upward Basketball

This fall Liam decided he wanted to plan Upwards Basketball.  Here he is at tryouts.





I'm sure he plays basketball at school but as far and I'm concerned I have never seen him dribble a basketball, so I knew this would be interesting!  I was asked to help coach.  Hollyn, Adam and I were the coaches of The Golden Eagles.


The Crew - Landon, Brayden, Liam, Judson & Asa


In line, ready to be called out!



We prayed before each game.



It was 3 on 3 and each kid had a different color wristband to determine which player to guard.



Snacks after every game!




Liam isn't very aggressive so when he would get the ball he would find someone else to try to pass it to.  There were a few times he had possession and was close enough that he thought he would make it.  He probably made 4-5 baskets all season!  Its a start!









Most importantly he had fun and made new friends and continued to build friendships with the old!  



These two are like 2 peas in a pod! Just like their moms were!


Awards night!



So proud of these kids and how much they improved during the season!

New Year for the Barker's!

2019 started out at the new movie theater in Murfreesboro.  We watched the new Spiderman movie. 


The seats recline and you can bring blankets to get cozy.




Not feeling well ....


 ..... hiding from Dr Eastham.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!



Watching the ball drop...





Snuggling with Ref!


Stomach bug going around so everyone is home from school ...






After we all passed around the stomach bug, I find myself sitting outside the Fast Pace clinic before they open - then testing positive for Flu A.


Here we go again - at Dr Easthams office testing the boys for Flu - all tested negative even with flu like symptoms.



Of course they act fine once Dr Eastham comes in the room.




Hopefully this is not how the rest of the year will go.  Maybe we are just getting it out of the way early and they rest of the year we will all be happy & healthy!
