Kinda Wordless Wednesday: Heidi Bree

HB texted to let me know that she would be in Kbunk for an LAX game where Andrew is the starting goalie... 30 min from home... and the sun was shining (albeit FREEZING) yes.please.

Minnie agreed to go with me and we had the BEST TIME!!!! Catching up with Heidi Bree and Mama S... and cheering for a northern Maine school! After we laughed for almost 2 hours straight I went down the rabbit hole of what was Minnie and Andrew... enjoy it along with me won't you!? :)

Papa S passed this winter and his loss is SO SO BIG for HB and Mama S... I was happy to find this pic of the night she moved home from AZ and the JOY in each of their faces... so fun!

Nothin' like a trip down memory lane to make you appreciate where you're currently AT AND make you miss what once was.

April Break: Part 1

Guess what season it is.... whoop whoop!!!!

Guess who's STILL injured from last year... whomp whomp. Got an xray, and scheduled and MRI just to be sure... doing an ibuprofen regimen per ALL the medical professionals... and we shall see what this season holds... COULD be a "torn" pec muscle... obviously we don't want it to get worse... but for now... she's pushing through....

Cuz I mean.....

Saturday Husband and I headed to grab some things at the Home Depot and I assure you... our house did NOT look like this when we left but we were sure happy to see it 2 towns over!

Speaking of happy... he loves an only child trip... bah!

Saturday afternoon Minnie wanted to head to watch her buds in their last softball game of a playday and Husband and Miss B were headed to do something fun... so off we went!

Love textin' my girl's peeps! :)

She pitched a great game and they won!!!!

but it was SOOOO DANG COLD... Like no sunshine, 40's, raining when we left, COLD...

GOOD thing she's cute!

While we were grabbing take out pizza and heading home, Husband, CJ, Miss B and Small Paul were at a "Beast Feast"... a wild game night put on by another local church... Miss B was SO excited... she was looking forward to trying "bear"....

but ended up with BEAVER instead... (someone took the last bear meatball?) No.Thank.You.

but they HAD A BLAST!!!!

Not so fun was losing to the Celtics... she put this shirt on as a photo op for Guinny but she prob should have left it on to see if it was good luck!!?!

We also heard that our breeder (of Barks) got a new puppy.... she reached out and asked if Miss B was available to meet him... um... yes.please.

Meet "Rooster".... Barks Dad was lost this winter and Brya just needed another big giant fluff ball for her homestead....

We are IN.LOVE.

Miss B's comment... "Day.Made."

That afternoon the boys showed up to pick up CJ's maple candy he left on Saturday and after lots of giggles and shenanigans in the house, they headed out to do what they do best... try to fix a vehicle/electrical problem... this time it was Husband's truck....
