busy. crazy. weekend.

Friday morning we headed out to the raspberry festival

to watch Jordan play in the 3 on 3 tournament.

Josh was coaching his team.

Something he has talked about doing since he was born.

We only had 3 players something we will make sure doesn't happen next year.

Game 1

The first game one of our boys refused to play so we had to borrow a 

player from another team.

The boys did great!

Game 2

We had a break in between games and are third guy decided he was ready to play!

Halfway through the game Jordan had a melt down after

getting hit in the face with the ball.

He then got hit in the face by another player and that was it.

We called a break and got him recovered 

with the promise of ice cream after.

His well deserved ice cream!

Game 3

All three boys were ready to go!

The one game with no injuries!

We again had another break so Jordan got some cotton candy!

He was all excited about his next game!

Game 4

5 minutes before the game he went out to practice, fell, and skinned up his knee.

At the sight of blood he started screaming and crying.

Wouldn't let us touch it or put a band aid on it.

Playing was out of the question.

Josh finally got a band aid on it and then I got him to calm down by

talking about playing mario afterwards.

We rolled up his pant leg (his one request) and sent him out there!

He went out there and rocked it!

Halfway through the game another boy got head bonked 

and was done so we again had to borrow a player.

You can see now why we NEED a 4th player!

Afterwards we headed home tired from the day.

The time actually went really fast but all the ups and downs

emotionally were tiring.

Josh packed up and left for the weekend for a softball tournament in Canada.

The kids and I grabbed McDonalds and watched America's got Talent.

Saturday I woke up bright and early to set up for a garage sale

 I was having with my sister.

We did the sale for the morning until about noon then we were over it.

Jana was hosting a diaper party at my mom's at 1pm.

Michelle really wanted to check out the raspberry festival so 

we left Jordan with Gramma and went with our neighbors

to watch their son play in a few of his games.

Got the kids home, made dinner, Michelle went to a friend's house for 

a sleepover, and I was in bed by 10.

Sunday was going to be my put the house back in order and clean day

but decided last minute to drive an hour into Canada to catch Josh's championship game!

Surprisingly I didn't get lost which I am famous for.

I forgot to put the address into google so my directions stopped as soon as I reached the freeway exit

so I had to find it on my own from there.

At least I don't mind stopping and asking directions when needed.

We actually made it to watch the half of one game and then the 

championship game!

They won the whole tournament!

Go team Posse!

We grabbed some dinner on our way home and again we were all in bed early.

It was a go go busy weekend.

Next weekend will be the same with a tournament in Ferndale!

At least that is 20 minutes away and I can easily get there!

Whatcom falls, shots, and icecream

The title about sums up Tuesday for us.

I have been trying to do items off our fun in the sun list!

Since we were already going to be in Bellingham so Michelle could get a 

shot I figured I would take the kids to Whatcom Falls.

This is a park that they have never been too.

We packed a lunch and ate that upon arrival.

The kids were not to thrilled about our adventure through the  woods

and the sites to see.

I was hoping to walk around the trails but Jordan kept stating this is boring.

We lasted about 20 minutes.

Long enough to see some falls, watch a guy jump in off the rocks,

and for Jordan to throw a few sticks & pine cones.

It was one of those trips you envision in your head as being a great idea

but doesn't go exactly the way thought.

They did still some fun.

Afterwards we walked over to see the fish hatchery.

They had trout from itty bitty up to huge ones!

The kids had a little more fun with that.

It was a lot shorter visit then I had planned so before Michelle's appointment

I went by Dollar Tree for some stuff for Jordan's party.

We got to Michelle's appointment a little early.

Michelle started to get really nervous about her shot.

I told her was like a pinch and she even let me pinch her to show her.

Michelle Stats 

age 11

weight- 86 pounds (55%)

height- 59 inches (75%)

She just needs to grow about an inch and she will be as tall as me :(

After the long awaited shot we went for ice cream!

Ice cream makes everything better :)

Jordan convincing Michelle to let him try a lick of her ice cream.

We spent the rest of the afternoon hang out outside!

Before bed Josh and Jordan did some basketball practicing.

Josh is coaching Jordan's 3 on 3 basketball team 

 this Friday at the Raspberry Festival.
