Yesterday, Travis participated in the a faculty/staff 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Sam was so excited about going to watch that he just kept saying ALL day “Hep Yaddy Ball” (aka Help Daddy play ball”.) It was really cute except for the fact that he was too excited to nap. However, he did great and didn’t have any meltdowns so it turned out OK. 🙂 Obviously, I took a “few” pictures. Sam also decided to take some and he got a REALLY AWESOME picture. Check this one out…
He got a picture showing how the ball flattens when it bounces! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!
Here are a few that I took. It has been really tough to narrow down the pictures to post because I took SO many. Therefore, if you want to see some others just click on any of the pictures and you will go to our March album where you can view them all. There are some pretty funny ones.
All of the guys praying for the games started…
A couple of ladies went all out and brought pom-poms, a megaphone, and made signs. It was hilarious!!
Travis’ team, Schrodinger’s Cat” consisted of the 4 guys facing towards my general direction. One is a Master’s student, 2 are PhD students, and one has a PhD. Oh, and yes, Travis came up with their team name. 🙂
Seth is our Director of Student Services (or at least that is what I think his title is) and this picture makes me laugh!
Travis is being guarded by a guy that was in the last PhD class he taught. It was really neat watching the faculty and staff intermingle. It also was difficult to recognize some of the faculty in their sweaty shirts and shorts. HA!
There were 4 games going on at a time. Each game was held on each end of the half court courts. I finally managed to get a clear shot of the sign making cheerleaders that moved across the gym. They did a great job cheering their team on- they were very noisy. HA!
This was our teams’ youngest fan, Grayson. He was born last fall. Sam liked tickling his feet.
Travis and Chris’ positions and facial expressions crack me up in this picture.
This horribly fuzzy picture (he was on the court farthest from me so I cropped it to zoom, thus the loss of clarity) is of SEBTS’s VP of Business Affairs (think CFO,) Ryan Hutchinson. His shirt is hilarious. The front said “Remember, I sign your paychecks” and the back said “I also pay the refs.” Since there weren’t any refs, I think he must’ve forgotten to pay them. HA!
Sam was able to flirt/hug two of his girl friends. That boy is going to be a handful when he gets older!!
Afterwards, I was able to take more tulip pictures on campus. I have decided that next to Dandridge, this is the most beautiful place I’ve ever lived. I LOVE all the tulips that bloom around here in the spring.
I also love all the dogwood trees.
It was a fun day. Unfortunately, it was a double elimination tournament and Travis’ team lost both of their games. We headed to supper after his second game so I have no idea who won the tournament.
Steph 🙂
