NAU alumni trip :)

Last weekend we headed up the hill to Flagstaff for our annual NAU volleyball alumni trip. I know that my eligibility has been up for some time but there is a group of about 5 from my era that have faithfully played every year :)...this year my era was down to 2 players :(...I was the oldest one on the court...Ruth and I stayed on the same team for all 5 games and never lost :)...It was definitely a more mellow since it was alumni playing alumni this year. We used to play the current NAU team but now it counts against their schedule (and we actually beat them before) :)...We played 5 games...hit the first half of the football game...hit the hotel happy hour...and then to the NAU/Weber State volleyball game to see Kelli play :) Ruth, Lisa, and I planned on hitting the town that night...didn't happen...we stayed in the hotel lobby with an ice chest having great conversations about old times there at NAU...Lots of fun!!!

Craig was randomly selected to do a halftime promotion kick...he attempted to punt the ball into this bucket for $1000 bucks...his punt was literally a foot short of the bucket :(


Kelli in action....Carli and Codi had fun hanging out with the girls :)

Over due update!!!!!

It has been a few weeks since I have posted...the busy season has officially arrived :) The girls are officially swamped with homework and projects (which means I am swamped with "projects")...I refuse to complain...we/I chose this fun chaos :)



Carli has been practicing at 6am for school volleyball...they start games next Wednesday. I am anxious to see them play!!



Codi is only 6th grade so she has to wait one more year to try out for school ball..Nov. 14th won't come soon enough for her (club tryouts) :)



My girls' season and boys' club season are in full swing...the crock pot is the best invention ever :) (and Monday night Hungry Howie's 5.55 pizzas :)



Last weekend we left the girls with Craig's mom...Craig, Lance and his dad headed to Wrigley Field to watch the cubs/mets. Long story short...wanted to watch JJ throw too...but the big guy needs to rest that elbow!! It was nice that Craig got to spend some time with his dad and brother. They had a great time...(Craig promises to take me back there sometime) :)

While they were in Chicago...Carly, Kelsey, Elizabeth and I headed to Vegas...celebrating Kelsey's birthday. We had an awesome time...amazing hotel, yummy dinners, Jersey Boys Show, and playing a variety of games...mainly Pai Gow (poker game)...if the dealer is not a complete nim rod...it is a very fun game!!!

Here are some pics from both trips :)








Today is labor day...what a difference having Monday off means!!! All my chores are done...gonna hit up a movie :)
