Like a Kid Again

This past weekend I got to be a kid again.

I got to take a road trip with a bunch of girlfriends.
I got to play volleyball ALL weekend.
I got to eat crazy amounts of junk food.
I got to laugh until my face ached and my stomach hurt.
I got to be carefree and crazy and it was a blast!

The tournament was in Vernal, so it was a good 5 hours at least to get there. We had a car break down on the way there and luckily the rest of our team was close behind us. We ended up squishing 6 women, one very patient husband, and a baby in an explorer. In the collage above it shows how we had 2 sisters stuffed in a trunk with all the luggage and 2 sisters sitting on laps in the front seat. We just called it team bonding, but it was a long 2 hours! We got there at about 5 on Friday and were playing our first of 8 games that weekend by 6. But it turns out...we are CHAMPIONS!!! of the 2nd highest division. I even played against the team of one of the girls that I coached at Cedar high over 2 years ago...and beat them, of course. Greg was such a champ at home. He and Emmy had a fun time playing and eating lots of sweets. They even went to church with out me AND I came home to a clean house. Now it doesn't get much better than that.

Here are a few pictures of the CHAMPIONS OF THE 'SUPER B' Division:

Do we all look exhausted? Because we were!
Thanks to my buds for taking me along.
Thanks to the Gibsons for helping with Emerson.
Thanks to my husband for being a champ by supporting me 100%.

I am B-O-R-I-N-G

Seriously. That's why I haven't posted forever. I'm an avid reader of other people's blogs, but I never really feel like I have that much to say for my own blog. I really enjoy my job as a teacher and I really really enjoy my job as a mom and wife, but nothing very epic to write about on here. We've been spending a lot of time just getting things done around the house, hanging out together and playing. Really. That's it...almost.

We did take Emmy to an SUU basketball game a few weeks ago. I think she liked the popcorn more than the basketball, but at least she was good! Thanks to the Carliles for the tickets!


On St. Patrick's day I got to take Emmy with me to school for some fun activities and the girls were also doing their science fair. Emmy was an instant celebrity. The girls LOVE her and her sass. (She kept telling me, "Right now!" and the girls thought that was much more funny than I did.) Here she is with all of the little toy rings that she gathered from the girls.



I'm just showing this picture because I'm in LOVE with this sweater. $10 at Children's Place! (I had to crop out the face of my student for legal issues...weird, but true.)

So, that's it for now. Maybe I'll start feeling more inspired soon, until then, here's an adorable 2 year old dancing to a funky mix of Itsy Bitsy Spider.
