I'm All About Playing Sports!

 This was for a challenge using the title "I'm All About...".

Photos of my sweet oldest granddaughter Makaylee who is all about sports! She's wearing her favorite number 42. Starting mid-Summer 2014 she started with her School Volleyball Team, then School Basketball started about October. Often she was practicing both sports Volleyball for 2 hours and then Basketball for 2-3 hours. Then in the Winter she played Volleyball with the Y on Saturdays along with conditioning starting for her School Softball Team. She was playing one sport or other the whole school year and then Softball with the city rec league too. She's been such a busy girl but enjoyed playing every moment! She lost quite a bit of weight too, but also gained muscle. And, now she's beginning all over again and her first Volleyball game this season is coming soon. We're so very proud of her!
