Playing hooky.

No school today, good day to hit the arcade. 




Another night watching the high school girls play. Hayden got a free pizza making a 3 pointer at halftime. Jericho almost did too.

So much time in a gym.

We spend an insane amount of time in gyms. Hayden is now on 2 basketball teams, Xander is on one and Jericho is on one. Jericho’s first practice was today for the Rose Valley league. He has 3 classmates on his team. Looking like a pretty good team. Playing on his school team really paid off, he looks like he knows what he is doing out there. 


A night without kiddos. Busted out our old sticks…love my little gecko’s.

Procrastination station.

Farrier time. It’s like 32 degrees out here. Brrr. 

Hitting the Pharmacology books all day today. Gotta get my last proctor done soon, I have been putting it off too long.

Never enough.

Lily is not a sporty kid, but she does love the social aspect of sports. Today was her first practice on the 7th grade bowling team. She had a blast with some friends and even got two strikes! 
Hayden and Xander are playing on the same basketball team in this new little league. Oh boy. Let the arguing begin LOL. Hayden got lucky and has one or two decent players on her new team. Xander is very rusty, but hopefully he will brush up quick. The rest are total newbies...this may be a rough go. She is just looking at it as extra ball time, and we hope that she will use it to strengthen her right side...she is a tad predictable always going left.

Watching the Varsity girls play.

HHC night, always a good time. The little girls enjoy watching the big girls play. We recreated a funny team pic from two years ago. They have all grown so much. 
The high school team killed it tonight. Hayden’s senior idol, Natalie, hit a new high scoring record of 39 points. Hayden has big aspirations to make the Varsity team as a Freshman. We shall see.

Yummy and spooky.

Yummy dinner at our fave fondue joint...Urban Fondue, then Xander’s Christmas gift to an Escape room. It was fun, we didn't make it out though, hopefully next time we can do better. We had never tried one before and I had no idea how obscure and minimal clues and all that would be. Next time we hit one up we will be ready.

Can't win em all.

This was a crazy busy weekend. Hayden played 4 games with her 7th grade team, then played 4 games filling in on the 8th grade team. 

Saturday the 7th graders won a tough one by just a single point. We were not expecting the team we played to step up, we slaughtered them bad 3 weeks ago. This time they had 4 or 5 players that were not there 3 weeks ago. Our second game was tough, we got some shitty calls and two of our girls fouled out...including Hayden. We lossed by 3 points. 

The 8th grade team pulled out two wins on Saturday, Hayden managed to score a few times and be helpful on defense as well. She loves getting asked to help the older girls, I just always want her to be helpful and not a hinderance. So I am always glad when she scores and rebounds big for them. 

Sunday we expected tough games, and we were not wrong. The 7th grade team won both...even beating the WNBA coached team. Unfortunately it came down to a tie, we were 3 and 1 and the team that beat us by 3 points ended up 3 and 1 as well...even though we allowed less points against us and had a tie record they won first place. Our girls killed it this weekend, so they still feel pretty pumped. Some excellent ball for the 7th grade team. 

The 8th graders came away with second place this weekend as well, as they lost to a very tough team today. They ended up 3 and 1 as well. Hayden did her best to help out when needed. 8 games in two days, we are all beat. Hayden came away with a bloody toe and a slightly sprained ankle (thankfully not her usual ankle to be injured but the other one this time LOL). They get next weekend off to rest up for 3 tourney weekends in a row after that. Whew.

Hayden was start struck by the ex WNBA player, she got to fist bump and shake hands at the end of the game and was all excited LOL. We got them by 14 points in the end. So proud of how these girls played this weekend.  



In other awesome news....oh my gosh. I got an 80 on my medical math proctor, was NOT expecting that…math is just not my best subject. Passed the course with an A. Wow! Now just the Pharm proctor left to do before my 1st internship.
