Who's kid is that?!

Saturday mornings have been far from "sleeping in" and relaxing the last 2 months.
See, we have had to get up and watch Kenzie play some basketball.
Not what I really wanted to do on my Saturdays, but when "mom duties" are called upon me, I give up on my cozy bed and have basketball become a priority in the early hours of my Saturdays.

Mackenzie is having fun playing city league basketball this year, and since the first game in January, this team has come a long way.
(the first game was more of a comedy to watch, but the girls were having fun trying to play basketball...by the looks of this game, it was going to be a LONG season.)
Since that very first game, the girls have learned to work together, pass the ball, defend, do plays, and have gained confidence.
Mackenzie has learned to allowed her height to work for her.
She has learned to make her way to the basket and get rebound after rebound. Today, Opa and Oma were able to come down and watch Kenzie play some bball.
She was proud to have them there to watch her.
With every basket that she made, she would then look up to the bleachers and make sure that we were watching her.
When she heard our cheers, a giant smile came on her face.
Then she was ready to play some more bball.
(this happened each time that she made her 5 baskets)
After the game, Opa, Oma, and the 6 of us went to IHOP for breakfast to celebrate the awesome game.
I must say, I have had fun watching Kenzie play, even if it has been on my Saturdays.
I am glad that she is enjoying it and Kenzie even talks about playing again next year and how she wants to play in High School.
Look what I have done.
Who's Kid is that anyway?
It's Mackenzie aka basketball player.
That is just cool to say.
