We were happy to be on a team with Stratton again. We love the Bethea's and having the boys play each season together.
On a side note: in December our ward of 9 years Higley Groves was split and combined with half of another ward form our Stake to for a brand spanking new ward called Highland Park. It was a pretty big shock and it meant leaving behind some very dear friends and Rusty's parents in the old ward. But the transition was eased when we realized we would fit right in in the new one. Rusty was made the Sunday School President, I am on the Relief Society Committee and our boys have a ton of new friends their ages. Boston will probably have the most friends his age, since there are 45 infants (under the age of 18 months that is) in our ward. And counting. And yes, I said 45. We are quite the loud ward, and the mother's lounge is always packed to capacity. Good thing none of us are above sitting on the floor to feed babies!
So, anyways- this really does all blend together I swear, when basketball started and we got an assistant coach I knew he looked familiar but it wasn't for about 3 more weeks when we ran into each other dropping babies off in nursery that it clicked. Caden and Braden were on the same team AND in the same new ward, BONUS! And I was called as Caden's Mom's visiting teacher and since she came from the other ward I had an easy time getting to know her at games. We miss our friends in Higley Groves a ton. It still seems so weird to look around church and NOT know everyone's names. But I am sure it won't take long.
Back to b-ball!
So Braden is having fun and playing well. He has scored a couple times but he prefers to pass the ball and go for the assist. He has been complaining about running during the games and line drills and I hate not knowing if he is tired because of heart related things or just because he isn't used to running so much. I know I hated b-ball drill back when I played. We only have two games left and we are at the point where we have to commit to next season already if we want to keep the team together. Fourth grade the league becomes competitive and I am so not sure I am ready for that one. We'll see. We've already registered for Baseball and he is old enough for the Minors this year which means tryouts. Ugh. Well here are a few pictures from games this season. GO Braden, your Mom and Dad and especially your brothers LOVE watching you!

Love the picture of you, Boss, and Bren. :-)
You're funny with your side note. And by the way, Stake President announced on Sunday that our ward has 46. Beat ya! :)
Holy cow, that's a lot of babies. Way to go Brae.
Wow, that's a ton of babies. I hope you have a big mother's lounge. Ours is pretty much a closet with two chairs crammed in -- there is hardly enough room for one. And there are lots of new babies coming this year. It could get interesting. I'm just glad I'm almost done nursing E.
