Me and my brothers love doing things together. One of the biggest is playing basketball together. Basketball is kinda the main sport for our family. My dad played it in high school, and my brother who is in 9th grade and 6' 3" has been playing it for the past couple of years. He is really hoping to make the sophomore team next year. A couple months ago Bridger injured his ankle at one of his basketball practices for his 9th grade team. We had to take him to the hospital and the verdict was a broken ankle. It was swollen up and black and blue for days after that. He stayed in bed for about a week trying to rest it up and after that he was on crutches for about 2 months. This really set him back in the world of basketball. Not practicing, training exercise, or improving his skills for 2 months really hurt him emotionally and physically. The past month he has been able to get back into the rhythm of basketball and he is loving it. I've been taking him over to our church gym a couple nights a week and helping him get his skills back up to speed. We've been shooting free throws and doing drills for hours a day. My dad will even come over with us when he isn't busy to help Bridger out in anyway possible. I love spending time with him and helping him in anyway that I can. He is one of my best friends.

In this picture, we were doing some cool halo tricks with a flash light.
