Angelica

This is one of my VERY favorite stories of Husband coaching track and it's all I could think about on Sunday when we watched this sweet girl get baptized....

 

Angelica has some special challenges and is just the sweetest soul....

Husband was competing (well his Varsity Girls were) at Marshwood High school... I was standing on the fence line with him and some of his girls who were watching at the start of the 100m.... they had gone through several heats and the number of gals ready to compete was dwindling.... It came time for the very LAST race and Husband QUICKLY realized Angelica was going to be running.... 

alone. Racing against... no one.

He looked at the girls on the fence line and said "jump the fence and get in that race!" They didn't miss a beat... didn't hesitate for a second... didn't argue... just JUMPED the fence and lined up at the starting line to "race" with Angelica. 

No one should race alone and I love the relationship that Husband has always had with Angelica, how respectful his girls were that day and how HAPPY it made me to see her publicly declare her relationship with the Lord. 

It brought tears to my eyes and I am so thankful to have had a front row seat to this gal since she was in high school! 

The Weekend Report (Fri/Sat)

The girls signed up for the IGNITE conference again this year. Minnie invited three of her friends to come with and Miss B invited one... six girls for a sleepover? Yes please! And because the motto has always been "the more the merrier" I invited Coach Wes (and Kel but she wasn't able to make it), JJ and the boys to come over for supper. We had a FULL HOUSE and it was SO fun!

The calm before the "storm" :)

Husband brought them all home with him from track practice... can you tell??

and they immediately headed out to the backyard for a game of football... 

Nice snag by CJ :) (Click to enlarge)

Such fun kiddos!

They were up and at 'em... the boys met us at the house at 8:15 and we were OFF... 

They had  FULL blessed day....

and so did Husband and I :) We ran some errands, I got carsick 🤮.... so no lunch date out....but I did rally and enjoyed the flowers at Home Depot

Still too cold to bring them home but fun to stare at them...

I picked the gals up at 4 and they were all on their way to their homes by 5....a very full 24 hours but so fun for ALL of us...

The Weekend Report

We had HORRIBLE weather all weekend... "they" were telling people to STAY home so of course Husband got stir crazy and NEEDED to run errands :)

Good thing he's cute! :)

Speaking of cute... we ran into these cuties (and their parents) as soon as we walked into Sam's! :) Lucky us!!!

My 20 something girls at work LOVE Rothy's... they are a brand that has been around for a while... super expensive but known for their comfort AND the fact they are washable!! You take the insole out and throw both pieces in the washer on cold! Well my girls told me they found some at Marden's!!! We chatted about them and one of my other co-workers showed up the next day with the leopard print and the navy blue ones for me... said her SIL gave them to her and they killed her feet so she offered them to MEEEEE!!! Exciting day for me on Friday! 

Well Husband and I popped into the one in Scarborough and I found the RED ONES!! He and the gals are a little unsure about RED SHOES but I think I can DEF. pull them off! :)

The rest of our Saturday was spent with minds swirling about some very sad news... not our story to share but Miss B and I headed to the "big building" on Sunday for a visit....

She rode home broken-hearted, in tears and VERY upset for her friend....we talked through a lot...and as soon as we came home she wanted her blue hair for support.... Love my tender-hearted girl who doesn't think healthcare is her gift... I beg to differ....

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: School Dayz

 Miss B and her friend's project that the friend didn't want to bring home.... *insert eyeroll* :) I did LOVE how big the church and cross are in comparison to the rest of the items :)

Priorities. 

Miss B asked to stay after for a Unified game....and I do LOVE me a unified game.... Minnie came over after PT and was part of the tunnel they came through... she works with the special needs kids in PE at the high school and LOVES it... I LOVE watching my girl's gifts come out....

MARCH 2025 Middle School girl sighting: leggings, sneakers, part down the middle, Uggs, sweatshirts.... phones.... (minus Miss B)

CLASSIC.

Well THAT happened fast...

 I cannot believe that we went from HERE...

To HERE... her first track meet EVER!

and even way back HERE when she went to her FIRST TRACK GIRLS SPAGHETTI DINNER!

Peep her there in her high chair? 

and today starts the next four years of Varsity Track and Field... I can't WAIT to watch her (and Miss B) under the amazing direction of the hot coach! :)

UPDATED: 

Me to Minnie: How was it? 

Minnie: I think I MUCH prefer WATCHING practice than DOING it....😂

Fabulous Friday

The Weekend Report

On Saturday AM we headed out bright and early for CHRISSY!!!

HOORAY for sunshine, a new patio, Daisy and NO BROKEN ARM this time! :)

Husband helped get the lawn mower up and RUNNING! 

and we just had the best time hanging out in the sunshine with our best girl!

This cracked me up... she jumped right on for a ride....

but not before she handed Husband her phone and drink... hahaha

This was a good time lemme tell you.... electric bike around the house... SOOOO FUN!

But Chrissy's fav part.... brushing the girls hair... they each got 30 min. no more no less... gotta keep it fair.....

Miss B in her happy place....

We ate lots of yummy food, watched tons of bball and hung out until after breakfast on Sunday

Made a quick stop at the outlets and were home by late afternoon so that Minnie and Husband could do Maple Sunday.... 

In the MEANTIME... JJ stayed with Barks and did THIS while we were gone..... 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Barkley was living his best life with Uncle JJ... window down and everything!

He even got to meet a "new friend"....

Gals came home to the old living room TV mounted in their den so I guess maybe that will be the April break project... Husband needs to text the painter :)
