Let’s recap the weekend to some faces that are burning up the inside of my camera.
Ellen rolled her ankle during the warm up before her first game, got poked in the eye, smacked in the jaw so hard she couldn’t open her mouth or eat for several hours, had her fingers slammed in the van door and caught a head cold.
But, she had a great time at the tournament! At least that’s what she says.
Isaac fell off a slide and landed on a metal pole and limped around like an elderly man the last day we were there and to make our stay at the grossest hotel in existence a tad bit nastier he tarted puking at 3:00 in the morning.
We watched some really great games. Our girls placed 5th and our boys came away with 3rd. I was so proud of them. We don’t have a single Senior on either team, so they are young and can come back again next year with the same team dynamic!
I’m so glad to be home and so happy basketball season has come to an end. Now I can fix dinners and have everyone around the table instead of shoving their heads into the pantry and hoping they get their fill.
But wait! Have I mentioned that I’m the track coach? Um….yeah, there are no words to explain how that happened. I’m thinking the kids are in for a HUGE surprise. Do you think letting them sit in a circle telling their funniest stories counts as a good training workout? I guess we’ll find out soon.
This post is a perfect example of what happens when other people use my camera for their own entertainment…it’s like they forgot I have a blog!

Oh my gosh – the first glimpse of Ellen, I thought it was you, April!
Yeah, it pays NOT to let someone else have your camera, but boy howdy, they had some fun!!
Looks like they had fun!
Love the uvula shots!!

Congrats Coach!! What were you thinking? Sounds like Ellen had quite the weekend…how amazing that she maintained a positive attitude. you should be very proud. Love the pix!
Congratulations to the teams! Condolences to the sick and injured. Kudos to the Mama that can handle both!
Home again, home again, hippity hop. Congrats to all.
I’m in Wichita and you and yours can stay with us next time around. Kids are grown (but never really gone – especially attached to the checkbook) and we have lots of room… much more fun than a grungy hotel room ;o)
Im with ya having athletes in the family..I have 4. This weekend alone was 2 track meets ( different cities, of course)and 4 baseball games (in yet a third city!)Cost: HIGH
My daughter running her best times yet and my son being moved from the Freshman baseball team to JV: PRICELESS
Love the pics. Look like the ones from my kids/grandkids! Congratulations on coaching! Sounds fun…maybe!!!
My 6 year old has borrowed my camera a few times. His pictures randomly show up at my blog too!
Eveyone’s throats look great. For me on the other hand, I had strep throat over the weekend. At least I had a reason to stay in bed and make the hubby take care of the kids.
i LOVE your blog, april! keep it comin’, woman!
Hey coach! For warmups you could show them some of your wicked dance moves.
i love those pictures! we have our own collection just like it. what is it about kids- whenever they get the camera, they all have to take a picture of themselves. and then, it’s like the shutter button is attached to their tongue or something….
Glad you’re home. We missed you. Now you can start planning your track team strategy (is that spelled right?) Can’t wait for more pictures.
Hi, does your headrest need raising up a bit in the pic of Ellen? Love,love,love your blog all the way from the UK x
I like SO MUCH your last sentence !!! ;D
