Women In Sports

Never would I imagine having to FIGHT for...

but grateful to Minnie for bringing it to my attention....

I love my ladies and they SHOULD BE PROTECTED from competing against BOYS. PERIOD.

The Weekend Report (Backwards)

 Nursery for Miss B and I.... so easy when all we have is this little guy and his sweet older sister!


Such a content little man!



Husband was SUPPOSED to get admitted to the "Big Building" on Friday night for a surgery on Saturday (more on this later) but at the last minute it was all canceled and after dropping off the gals to go to a USM Women's bball game, we headed for a DATE DAY!!! He had some errands to run for his derby and I got lunch outta the deal!

End of the game shenanigans... love these two... 
 

Minnie had a good game and fun to have a W at home!

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!
