First HOME Meet 2026

Blue skies and being on our HOME track in MUCH better weather was NOT a bad place to hang on Tuesday afternoon!

 

I LOVE watching her throw things!

Always fun to have a FAN CLUB!

Husband was building the meet and needed a 3rd leg (Minnie's fav. leg) in the 4x100m... she happened to be sitting at the kitchen table and as I believe I've mentioned before... Summer Track is all about whatever the girls wanna do.... Varsity track is whatever DAD/COACH wants you to do... good thing she was willing and they ran a GREAT RACE! SOOOOO FUN!

She held blocks for her buds and moved onto shot...

With C-Line... love these two!!!

I LOVE this picture of little sister watching big sister because I KNOW she is coaching her in her head :) and in fact we all heard exactly what Minnie SHOULD have done as soon as she got to SIL L, Husband and I.... ha!

The softball team came to "help" read... walk around like someone kicked their cat....so snapped a pic of this queen to send to her Mama...

I don't know if it was the ibuprofen on board, the stretching, the weather, the home field, the assistant principal running the event, or the competition and comrade between Minnie and C-Line but my girl was BACK!!!

 

Getting ready for that final throw.... C-Line pulled off a GREAT last throw and Minnie was after her...

Not enough to catch C-Line 

but SO fun for these two! I love them!

Speaking of fan clubs! :) Nice to have a couple of cops there to watch you :) (Levi not pictured) and yes, it did END UP as COLD as he looks! Brrrr!!!!

Husband was happy with these results for SURE!

WHOOP WHOOP!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: The Week Thus Far

 Curry shared a toy with Barks

I lost all my dahlias over the winter... my coworker gifted me MORE! Miss B and I can't WAIT!

Sunshine for ME. Shade for HIM.

Smart turkey....hang out where the food is....

Meet day hair. Complete with SPARKLES! 

April Break: Part 2

Minnie had a bonfire and sleepover (in a camper BRRRRR) with friends!

I actually got the nerve up to go to my annual (every 3ish years) physical and it was a 100% waste of my time....

My partner in crime when it's SOOOOOO COLD she's always good for an adventure!

and she's the BEST member of the "little sister club" to watch Minnie at a FREEZING COLD meet in the "big city" on Wednesday....

C-Line had a meet!!!

Minnie's shoulder has been buggin' but she's been pushing through and we are optimistic that she can find her groove....

 

When you have coached track and field for as LONG as Husband has... you know how to input a meet.... so that... you don't end up with 7 out of 8 lanes filled with your own girls...in his words "I could have done THIS at home...".... 

but fun! to see the SEA of green....

and Minnie with her classic ponytail flip :) LOVE IT!

The succession of pictures here....

May we ALL take our jobs as seriously as Minnie takes holding blocks for her buddy....

The BEST part was.... Husband's team WON!!! HIP HIP for coming out guns blazin!!!

On Thursday we headed to the boonies because we heard there were PUPPIES and KIDS... all our favs! :)

Tilly got all kinds of snuggles from Miss B.... she's a chocolate lab/golden retriever mix and she's all black and the SWEETEST girl EVER!

My girls were in HEAVEN with puppies and Spiderman :)

and HIS BIG BROTHER TOO!!! Who... when we left told Miss B... 

"I love you more than the other one..." 

ha!!!

SUCH a fun day in the sunshine having a visit, seeing my RN's new home, enjoying her yard, her boys and her puppy!!! REALLY happy to drive home with my teenagers and 4 year old pooch. HA!
