Meet Day

On Thursday Miss B had her first (since the other one was cancelled) HOME MEET of the year! 

Fun to be at your own HOUSE!

I got there in time to see ALMOST everything! Just missed her first disc throw... man I HATE missing stuff... but she improved from there....

and end up finishing 2nd!! Hip hip HOORAY!

and beCAUSE it was a HOME meet.. guess who got to WORK it... loved seeing my boss babe girl use her God-given leadership skills! :)

doesn't she LOVE to direct traffic :) hahahahaha

Miss B loved "checking in" with the girl with the clipboard and they got a good giggle over Minnie asking "how do you pronounce that?" :) It was a beautiful day for a meet and Miss B and I were home by 6:00 so it was a WIN!

The Weekend Report

 We kicked off Friday night with a meet for Miss B! She was soooo excited... the weather was iffy but we heard around 11 that it was a GO! She PR'd by 20 FEET in jav and was THRILLED TO PIECES!

Definately not as excited with her shot put but she got after it...


and threw the 100m in for good measure :)


These two (plus C-Line not pictured) rode to the meet with Husband and we snagged Abbey for a sleepover! HOORAY!

Kel made cookies and my athlete was PSYCHED with her snack for the ride home! Husband and the big girls picked up take-out for us all and I think everyone (besides Husband) was sleeping by 9:30! Wild Friday Night!

On Saturday AM Minnie wanted to zip over to the softball game for Mad-Money and we needed to return Abbey... Fun when you are the youngest and TALLEST! :)

We watched Mad-Money do her "thang" for a bit and I left Minnie with the Penney crew for her long awaited....


BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!! Mad-Money gave Minnie concert tixs way back in November for her b-day and Saturday Night was THE NIGHT!

SHE WAS SOOOOO EXCITED to see KANE BROWN!


It was FREEZING but they had an absolute blast and she loved EVERY SECOND OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC FUN! :)

Sunday was a recovery day for Minnie after we picked her up... hahaha... 
Husband and I ran errands together and on Monday went to SIL L/BIL L's for the May/June bday celebration!!! 


My girls were psyched to be back with their tiny people!


WAY too cold for anyone to swim this year but a fun sign of things to come for SURE!

Showed up with all of us in our summer "uniform" black on black... Lulu running shorts for the WIN! :)


The kids dressed her hair up :)

and hated saying good-bye!
Minnie and Husband went to work at the track and Miss B and I met JJ at home... I told Barks that Uncle JJ was coming and literally this is how he SAT... 

Do-Do gave ME a trucker hat with his "old logo" on it but I think I lost it... she put it on and never took it off again... s'ok... I LOVE it when she wears a baseball hat! Sooo cute!!! 

Phew... a fun-filled busy weekend... ending with SUNSHINE and OUTSIDE time which is our fav!

Rain Rain Go Away...

Monday we kicked off the week with a COLD AND RAINY track meet for Minnie... the goal was to qualify for disc but when everything is SOAKING WET... Things get slippery... 

She did great but not the automatic she had hoped for... we shall see what that means for States

As we stood around getting wetter and wetter (CountryMum was the wise one who went to the warm car) she went to shot....

The crew that made it over to jav.... I am in "the Patagonia" the GORE-TEX PATAGONIA and I am wet through...YUCK. Miss B and CountryDad headed for the car at this point... Miss B was soaked through....


I texted Jessie and said I got sun-poisoning at a State meet her sister was throwing at years ago and I think I would have preferred THAT over this....

And yet they kept on....

She threw well... just not AS WELL...as....

C-Line! She finally caught her! Clearly Minnie is NOT happy but if you're gonna come in 2nd place... at least it's to a girl wearing GREEN! :)


LOVE these two!

This succession of pics cracks me up... Minnie still had to do triple jump (and was supposed to do a relay but that got nixed at the last hot second) but we all PEACED OUT.... cold, wet and SOGGY...

Please note Minnie's hand! :) Hahahaha! She said "I didn't want to get wet!" uh... girl...you're soaked!

My twins! One in a PARKA and one in a tanktop! Ha!



WINN-AH WINN-AH!!! WHOOP WHOOP!
and in the LAST regular season meet.... a 

FIRST PLACE FINISH FOR HUSBAND!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
