Funny Bone

Summer is coming to an end

The Smitty's have survived

And

By Smitty's

I mostly mean

Me

Swimming on Monday and Wednesday mornings

BEFORE work

Basketball Tuesday and Thursday evenings

AFTER work

AND

Swim meets on Saturday mornings

Basketball on Saturday mid-mornings/afternoons

I am one tired Mama

And

James is one tired Dad

And

Calista is one happy girl

Basketball was our first experience with a team sport

Calista's cardiologist FINALLY cleared her to

 Play this year

She is a "baller" in our neighborhood park

However, the games she is famous for are

Horse and Around the World

The thing we learned the most was

She LOVES defense

Even when she was playing offense

James and I would laugh in the stands

Not because she was funny, but

Because the look on her face when she would

Elbow the heck out of the person she was guarding

Was priceless

Calista's mean face is one we will

NEVER forget

She would do this elbow move again and again 

Even on offense

She would also get very mad

When James and I would yell for her

From the stands

So mad in fact a couple of times

She stopped elbowing

Looked directly at us,

Took her mouth guard out

AND

Mouthed "BE QUIET!"

She also did this once to Raylyn while
She was standing on the free throw line
Some people may see this as sassy

I see this as Moxie
What's a girl without Moxie
Boring

Her team was terrifc

She has grown up with most of the kids

I loved watching them play their hearts out

I am sure Calista will figure out

Offense and Defense by the time
High School BBall rolls around

Here are some of my favorite pictures of

The 2010 Sundevil Season

We LOVE you Coach Loftis!
