Basketball

Sophie had a great 7th grade basketball season this year, winning all but two of their games!  We were proud parents!

Soccer Sweety

It's true, we're biased, but this is one cute soccer player!



We've been very fortunate the last two soccer seasons. Mia is on a great team with great coaches and great kids/families!

Game Day Cuties

Well, our beloved Wyoming Cowboys took a beating from BSU on Saturday but, they sure had some cute fans in the stands {along with 29,000 other people}! We had a great visit with our best friends, the Yeends and tons of fun tailgating where we got to see some old college friends! It was a great day {except for the loss}!

Heading Down to Laramie Today

Today, our harem will be driving down to Laramie to watch the Wyoming vs. Boise State football game. It's sold-out, which means we're really going to be packed into our seats, and it also means that the every-15-minute trips to the restroom are going to have to be stretched out a bit. I think that the girls are going to banned from drinking anything for the four hours before the game. Dehydration might be better than the dirty looks we get from our neighbors when we have to squeeze past multiple times.

Our typical game-day packing includes the obligatory foam finger, brown-and-gold pompoms, binoculars, Hannah's epi-pen to combat the effects of the peanut dust in the air, jackets and sweatshirts (which Mom makes us take in but we all refuse to wear), cell phones to text family members sitting right next to us, Nintendos, hats, visors, gloves, snacks, etc. We will be ready for anything that comes, including a possible attack on the stadium, winter, and hunger.

With some luck, we'll come home tomorrow with a win, and hopefully some pictures of the excursion.

Bella's Gymnastics Program

This year Bella took gymnastics for the first time. She LoVeD it! She worked very hard and we are so proud of her performance at the end of year program. She had to perform a short routine in each of the following areas: beam, bars, floors & vault. Here are a few shots:

"Shootin Sophie"

In basketball I found out you have to be swift, sneaky and very positive you are going to make a basket. I've been through three nick names so far sliding Sophie, sneaky Sophie and shooting Sophie. Its hard knowing you've been going through nick names like crazy. My favorite name is shooting Sophie. Lets just go with I like making baskets. I have a tip for you USE YOU'RE HEAD!!!!!! It works I used mine it bounced in my arms, a teammate used hers it bounced in my arms it bounced off an opponents head and into my arms! It WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
