Upwards Basketball



Sara had her 2nd game this weekend through the Upwards Basketball Program. This is such a well run program where all the kids get equal playing time and learn the game. They do such a fabulous job keeping it positive and having fun, it is run 100% by volunteers! This is the 2nd year Sara has played and she sure seems to love it!



All the players run through this tent like thing while the coaches announce their names - super cute, makes the kids feel special!



Never actually got a picture of her with the ball - but she did have it - even scored a couple of points and had a couple of steels - so fun to watch!



Taking a break and cheering on her team mates! Go Lady Bears!



Each time they start a period they line up across from the player they will be guarding - they have the kids put on color bands so they know who they are guarding. At this age they make them only guard the color they are assigned to.



Looking forward to another game next Saturday!

My First Post

One of the things i wanted to do in 2010 was to write down the funny things that happen in life so that they are recorded -and if I get around to scrapbooking them that's an added bonus. So, this is where i plan to do just that. I also like to try new recipes, so from time to time i'm hoping to share some of them here - i'm always surfing the web for new ones to try. Oh and the reason behind the blog name: Smile and Say It - this is our family's line for 2010 - if you have something to say then - SMILE AND SAY IT - it comes out much nicer that way! And..... since its no fun to post without a picture - this is who all the stories will be about, Jen, Sara & Major - our squirrel patrol dog!
