Mad Skills

Since we are officially in the midst of high school basketball playoffs around here Everett thought it would be appropriate to show you some proper basketball techniques!

First, you have to warm up.

Here Everett is demonstrating the proper technique for a push up.

Really doesn't everyone do push ups with a shotgun within fingers reach?

Next, Everett shows you how to palm the ball.

Then he decides to show you the proper way to shoot.

This is a duck head all day baby!

Finally, he shoots! And he scores!

Of course don't forget to follow through your shot and always rebound!

I had some funny defense pictures of Jackson but he was in his underwear. Thought I'd keep those hidden : )

The living room is set so the boys can play basketball. Once Everett makes a dozen or so three's he takes off running for layups. Boy does he. He doesn't stop! He shoots a layup, rebounds his own ball and takes off after another layup.  Oh didn't I mention he's a lefty? (Look out NBA, hehehe)

Jackson is our slam dunker. He likes to slam it or shoot some three's.

Oh and if you don't know what a duck head is here is an explanation:

"Duck head" is a basketball term we use when describing the way one's hand looks when proper form is used therefore resulting in an awesome shot.

A little known fact about us is that when we had our first sonogram of Jackson made he was caught making a "duck head" shot! No lie. We have it on video. It looked like his little hand was up shooting with perfect duck head form! How awesome is that!
