The Weekend Report

 But starting with Thursday... had to be the longest, hottest...LONGEST.... did I mention LONGEST track meet of all time... but... MY GIRL GOT A PR BY A FOOT in shot!!! Whew made it all worth it!!!

Husband doing what he does... best.coach.ever.


Hot and sweaty but happy to be 1) together 2) SITTING and 3) in the shade! :)

Why yes we DID bring all of these water bottles AND DRANK it all!
On Saturday Minnie had the annual ALL DAY BBALL tourney at the beach...it was A BEAUTIFUL day



Miss B and I snuck down to the beach after the first game (8:30) and it was filling up... bleck I hate the beach.

My girl with her game face on....

They played pretty well... Minnie made some very good choices and shots...








and they came out winning 2 outta 3 which hasn't happened in a LONG time I don't think?

Sunday was the annual church BBQ and this crew had VBS at their church the week before so they did not make it to track...we were all having withdrawals so we were so happy when they walked in!

Paisyn came to play cornhole!!!

And Minnie got some Phillip time...oh my word he was going AFTER her arm...

she said "it's like he's eating corn on the cob" and Chelsey and I LOST IT!

SO FUNNY!
NON-STOP over here at the Mouse House... but I wouldn't have it any other way for these gals of mine...

 When I think of only 3 more summers with this big girl....and a couple more after that with Miss B
I.just.can't.

The Week Thus Far

What we were HOPING for on Monday....

and what we got... 


there has been a few shady dealings regarding a quarry near our house and at the last town meeting they had so many people show up they were over capacity at the town hall so they had to postpone... Husband, Miss B and I made our way over to stand in the back (Minnie was at bball so we knew we wouldn't be able to stay the whole time) and whew... it was a LOT and had SOME parts like Gilmore Girls but not enough to hang out for very long...

on Tuesday we tagged teamed and I brought Minnie to bball... the first game they only had 6 girls so it was LOTS of playing time and Minnie directing traffic :)

Rough double-header that went WAY longer due to their 2nd game team showing up at MHS vs. Noble but still fun to watch my girl BALL...

on Wednesday we hit Aunt Nancy and "Bob's" pool for a quick dip and then.....

ALSO fun (insert sarcasm)... making Minnie drive... girlfriend has GOT to get some hours and EXPERIENCE IN... and her soccer game in Biddo was a straight shot... 

as usual she did GREAT, we arrived in PLENTY of time...and I spoiled her with Panera on the way home...I'm not unREASONABLE! :)

PROUD of her for having a conversation with coach...

AND scoring a goal... duking out the goalie! :)

A beautiful night for soccer and much preferred to sitting in a hot sticky sweaty gym! :)

The Weekend Report

 Whew it was a busy one on Friday...we took separate vehicles to Portland to celebrate the life of Arune's Mom and BriBri's MIL...

Some track kiddos needed a ride to the meet so Miss B and I headed home to pick them up... Ava is my partner in crime and the big sister to some of my fav kids! She just jumps in wherever she's needed and helps out SO much!! The meet was at 4:00!!!!!! back in FREEPORT!!!! So to say that Miss B and I put "some miles on it" would be an understatement!!!!

Minnie knows her away around a track meet that's for sure! Quick to answer questions and direct traffic (or a million little boys ages 8 and UNDER at the 100m start!)

Miss B did great!


and... TRIED TRIPLE JUMP FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!


SO FUN to watch and after just 2 practices she jumped over 22 feet! 


On Saturday morning the gals and I had back to back baby showers!! No pics from sweet Kylie's that was at 10... gals and I stayed until about 11:50 and then zipped over to Louise's house to celebrate Kaycee and her soon to be new baby boy!


On Sunday after church we headed to lunch... I love lunch out after church :) I should have had the waitress (who was amazing) take a family photo but this was all I got as we were driving by after we ate... we had never been but we will definitely be BACK! YUM!
WHEW... we all crashed after... it was a BUSY WEEK/WEEKEND... It would be JULY!
