Gym Rat Beginnings


To celebrate being 1 month old, Molly got to attend her first basketball game tonight. We rode to Orem with my mom to watch Hunter play some summer exhibition games against Orem and Grantsville. It was fun to watch some basketball in June (besides the Lakers and the Celtics which I haven't really been following)! Molly was great. She liked all the noise. She is on a way to becoming a gym rat and cheering on her uncle.

Willie did pretty well, especially for playing in 2 games the same day of his first full morning of football workouts and weights. He's one of only 2 sophomores that played and he holds his own just fine (although he did fall on the floor tonight and he gets up about as fast as his sisters would have). The Hunter Wolverines won 1 and lost 1.

Did I mention that Willie - who I can now refer to on this blog as Uncle Willie - is the best kid ever! He is very responsible and just a good boy. He just finished three years of junior high with a straight 4.0 GPA and got a whole slug of awards at his 9th grade awards ceremony. He has also been teaching himself to play several songs on the piano via youtube videos and he has now decided (after 15 years and several uncooperative attempts) that he would like his favorite shorter sister to give him piano lessons. We have our second lesson tomorrow and he is doing well!
