Another night of bball...

Five days between two games and we matched up with San-fid AGAIN ACK!!! BUT...this time... we at least SHOWED UP.... gals played SO much better...

and fun to see our #2 matched up with HTED's #15 again :)

We were ACTUALLY WINNING at one point!

and speaking of winning... Miss B competed in the foul shooting contest at 1/2 time and WON! WHOOP WHOOP! I think it was the rebounder she picked! :)

Love.

Speaking of love. SO FUN to have fans! Steve and Sheri came as well, including Do-Do, SIL L, Sky, MIL, and the CountryRents. Yay!

Fun to be able to snag this photo op at the end of the game!

When we got home... snapped this proud moment... Miss B had her end of the season banquet during practice (and before the end of her season)

Winning the Coach's Award AGAIN... Her coach spoke so highly of Miss B about how she's a leader, and the most COACHABLE kid she's ever had... awww so proud!

Even though we lost to San-fid... it felt like a win at the Mouse House last night with how hard Minnie worked and Miss B's accomplishments! Whoop Whoop!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday: SHE WON!

 She WON!!!! She thought the odds were stacked against her with a LeGage (Portland kiddo and Brando's high school coach's kid) and the girl who just scored her 1000th point.... but here's showing that it's COMMUNITY because it was all voting based and Minnie's COMMUNITY voted for her to WIN and she DID!

We couldn't find the results anywhere so Husband reached out to his contact at the Press Herald and he sent us a PDF of the results....

WHOOP WHOOP!!! Minnie, in her humility, doesn't think this is a big deal but... out of ALL SMAA Winter athletes, both boys AND girls... to be NOMINATED.... and then to WIN! A HUGE DEAL!

SO PROUD!!!

Another LONG Weekend

We got dumped on with about 12-18" of snow on Sunday into Monday so another BONUS long weekend! HOORAY!

Kicked off Friday night watching Minnie....

2 of Minnie's biggest fans....

Saturday Husband went fishing (too cold for any pics he said....) and Minnie was at practice from 7:30-12:00!!!! We just hung out at home for the afternoon and watched a movie... 

Sunday all the chatter was the impending snowstorm. B&B moved Cooper's bday UP to 12 so we went to SS and worship and then headed north....It's always a FIGHT on who is going to hold the baby.... Minnie won for a bit and then I STOLE him. :)

Birthday boy and peep Mimi! 

We drove home as the storm was starting and I was happy to get snuggled in for the night... we did one shovel around 6:30ish and Husband left around 8ish to make a pass for us and his Mom....

Clearly the ONLY one psyched about the snow... I went out to shovel the deck and he was a kid in a candy store. 

Gals did a lot of deep couch sitting and becoming one with their screens. I attempted to make cookies for Miss B's bball banquet but I think I need to give up making cookies... at least chocolate chip. Yikes. Minnie said they tasted good so I sent the best of the batch with Miss B but probably should have just sent her with a package of Oreos.

Ended the afternoon with Minnie pulling Husband out...much to her chagrin...but good life lessons... and I am over here trying to raise boss babes. 

She did a GREAT job and was mostly just annoyed to leave her blanket and couch. Ha!

Scheduling Conflict

 How this did not happen more than ONCE in an ENTIRE bball season is BEYOND me... most of the time I think the people that create these sports schedules look at my personal family and what would be the MOST inconvenient for US and make the schedule! :)

Did this mean we had bball 4 out of 5 nights most weeks YES... but did it also mean that I was able to watch EVERYTHING....also YES! :)

HOWEVER it happened on Wednesday night... Miss B was in Wells at 5:00 and 30 minutes away was Minnie at San-fid at 6:00. 

From one red gym to another... 

YAY FOR HANDS UP!!! Taking up some real estate!

Miss B worked really hard on boxing out and posting up! So proud of her growth this year...

as soon as she was done we RACED to San-fid and our NEXT red gym...

It was a ROUGH night which we sort of expected but it was REALLY rough...

Sad I missed the jump between Minnie and HTED's girl... they were matched up against each other for most of the game... which is always fun for HTED and I and MOSTLY fun for the girls... until Minnie took ETED's elbow to the lip! OUCH!

The LONG Weekend Report

 They are my favorite... an extra day... a shorter week... just my favorite! We crammed a LOT into those 4 days!

Kicked off Saturday AM with a sick kiddo but she dug deep. Tamarah told her to find her "beast mode" for the game and Minnie and I both laughed when I sniped this pic of her from across the gym! :) love it!

It was SUCH a good game!!! We were down by 9... 

But we came back and ACTUALLY HELD ONTO IT! 

(pics below by Flics_sarah)

Peep MIL and Clay? :)

My girl was on fire in the 4th quarter and made some CLUTCH foul shots and jump shots!

The "zoo crew" went CRAZY!

IT WAS sooooo fun! Winning is FUN! :)

After the game Husband and Miss B headed to set some traps and do a little night fishing....

Bonus that Sky came!!!! She says she's done with ice fishing because it is SOOOO COLD.... SO please note she is bundled and sitting right next to the stove! :)

They were jigging for "crappie" and unfortunately unsuccessful in the shack but Miss B caught THIS ONE on a trap! WOW-ZAHS!

FUN!

Minnie opted to head to Abbey's 6:00PM!!!! track meet... to hang with her peeps! :) She rode up with Chelsey and had the BEST time cheering on her buds WITH her tiny people!

Monday the gals had dentist appts at 9:00 (much to their chagrin) and we had gotten dumped on with a few inches of snow and it was still coming down... Husband offered to take them because I was supposed to have an appt with Loretta at 12:30 but by 8:40 they had left and she canceled. A WHOLE DAY STAYING HOME IN A SNOWSTORM!?!? YES PLEASE!!!

I texted Tamarah that I got to stay home in my snow-globe... just too bad it was so DIRTY! ACK! But... that meant, laundry, cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, vac, homemade bread made, quiche for breakfasts for the week, meatloaf put together (not baked but in the fridge for dinner Tuesday), potato/sweet potato mash made, also for Tuesday night, bacon for the fridge and a soak in the tub!!! It was a VERY productive day! 

The only picture of the day... BLT on homemade bread Minnie took because they had to watch the boys game at 3:00 and stay right through until 7:30 because they practiced after... and she ONLY ATE 1/2!! (Good thing for Serenity :)

A fun and FULL four days!
