DA buBULLS

Ben just wrapped up his third basketball "season." He was on the BULLS and was coached by his Daddy and Uncle Craig. Ben played great and the coaches did well, too; they were especially patient with the fans when they were booed everytime they benched #7 (Ben). Ok, maybe it was just the Heaviland, Hammel, Brand, Jones, and Humphrey fans that booed them! Poor coaches!
Ben is really becoming a great team player the older he gets. He truly likes to see his teamates succeed and passes the ball and cheers them on. Of course, above all else, Ben enjoys scoring points so you can often find him dribbling as fast as he can to the other end of the court after getting a rebound so he can shoot a basket! In all the excitement of the game, we sometimes lose track of how many points Ben actually scores and depending upon whom you ask, the answer is usually different. I thought Ben scored 4 points today, but Dean thought he had 4 baskets and Ben thought 5! Joey remains Ben's biggest fan as alway, hence the title of this post. Last weekend Uncle Clint came to the game and kept saying "Da Bulls." Joey must have thought he was saying "Bubbles" as that became his cheer. "Go Bubbles Go! Go Bubbles Go!"
In addition to Joey, Ben's regular fans included Oma, Nana, Bampaw, Sissy and Brookie B. Not pictured is Abby, Aunt Barbie, and Cousin Casey who were also often there to cheer him on!
