The Dreaded First Day!

August 24, 2009 - the last first day for my little Scooter! boo hoo! he's so happy he was giddy. Kyle, though he would never admit it, was excited too! normally he would never wear a pink tie dye shirt but he was a CMT rep. They were both a little dissapointed that the fog wasn't a little worse? So we're off! It's non-stop running from now until June. Goodluck everyone!

AYBT National Champions!

The boys won the AYBT National Championship tourney on July 21 in Ft Wayne at the Spiece center. They finished 17-8 for the season. We went 2-2 into the tournament draw so ended up in the lower division which worked in our favor apparently. After getting beat by Jay Co and Findlay (two teams we had previously beaten) we won the rest of our games. We beat a team from Michigan that were very colorful and I don't just mean their skin tone. Our boys heard some words they've never heard before. Most of our kids had never heard the word "cracker" used in that content. There was a little rumble between the fans after a so-called jump ball with 1.8 seconds was called when Kyle got picked up and thrown to the ground. but "It's just basketball" and they are "Just kids". We were almost flawless in the final game and it was fun to watch. (from our side of the stands) the final score was a little lopsided but we've been on the other end more than our fair share. So CONGRATULATIONS boys! We are So Damn proud of you! You always, always give it 100% and play to the end. You deserve it. See you at Cedar Point.

Here piggy piggy...

Scoot was asked by our neighbors to watch their pigs for a few short days while they were camping. Seems simple enough. Solo the dog jumped into the pen so Scoot opened the gate to let him out and didn't seem to get it completely shut. The next morning we get a call that 6 of the 9 were roaming the neighborhood. A search party was sent out on 4 wheelers and a couple hours later they found them. They had almost made it to the dairy? go figure? Pigs are stupid BUT here they are going home. Sorry Dani, Tanner and Tyler! It really wasn't a conspiracy.

The Quest Continues ... Melon & Devon

. . . it was my lucky night. Not only was Devon Golden in town to run track for Wapak but her good friend Melon Eickholt came to watch! The quest for famous people pictures is "my definition of famous"and I consider these two to be very famous in the high school sports world. These two are the most competitive high school girls basketball players that I have seen in a long time. I admire both of them for their accomplishments this year. They were very fun to watch this year. I wish you guys great success in college.

State Tournament

Kyle is fortunate to have his birthday fall during state tournament. Single handedly the best 3 days of his life. When I was pregnant and on bed rest for him, days away from delivery, Ron left me home alone to go to state tournament so Kyle was destined to love it too. Non-stop basketball games and hotel tag with his friends and a diet of donatos and dippin dots, who could ask for anything more?

As I have "blogged" before, I stalk people who I consider famous. Between games on Friday Bob Huggins was in St Johns parking lot so I shamelessly asked for a picture then I couldn't get him off me. you see when I lived in Columbus I worked at an office who's office supply salesman was no other than Larry Huggins (Bob's younger and much cuter brother). I ,of course, used that I knew Larry to get the picture and then we were instant BFF's. He invited me to Larry's camper that was parked at the Holiday Inn for a party that I graciously declined. It's not that I didn't want to see Larry I just didn't want to go with Mr Hands. I just want the picture to put on my facebook.

The St Mary's Royals

Over the weekend we traveled to Columbus for an all St Mary's Catholic Church tournament. It was only St Mary's named churches in the state. There were 9 teams from all over. It was a 7th and 8th grade tournament but the majority was 8th. Our team lost both games and didn't advance but it was fun. We competed. Kyle knew one of the boys from the Cincinnati squad from his Moeller basketball camp. The kid was amazing and almost dunked it on a fast break. Dr Bidlack brought his Buckeye RV and between games we tailgated -complete with cornhole. The tournament was at the St Mary's church in German Village. The highlight of the weekend though came with my quest to stalk Buckeye athletes when... we were at the hotel pool and Ron struck up a conversation with a women (he says she started talking to him first) who was asking about the Buckeye RV in the parking lot (Dr Bidlacks) when he found out who it was is when I got involved... Beanie's mom was in town for a NFL scouting session at Ohio State! We became instant BFF's... (sorry Jill) she is hoping he gets drafted for Jacksonville, the NFL told her they prefer if the parents move with the athletes who are under 21. She gave us a "Beanie Wells T-shirt". and I couldn't figure out that damn cell phone camera and didn't get a picture. I needed Katie. I told her to have Beanie call me. I'll let ya know how that turns out.

Happy New Year!

Spent the end of 2008 in Columbus with some good friends and the Ohio State Buckeye Basketball team. We had a great time as usual and it was a great game. Almost everyone made it on the jumbotron. The kids had a blast with hotel tag and the Drury didn't eject them. Life lesson= it doesnt hurt to have a scalpers number in your speed dial.
