October 21, 2017

Last night, Emma's volleyball team played a barn burner out in Hurricane.  Emma's team won, but it was a stress-inducing event!  That was the end of region play and Emma's team was undefeated going into the tournament.

I woke up early this morning to make Emma some breakfast and get her out the door so she could get on the bus for the tournament.  Then Greg and I got ready and headed to Hurricane High School, leaving the rest of the kids home asleep.

It was a wild, long day.  They played 5 games to be in the Championship, and Emma played every single second of every one of those games.  I think she was the only player who did that.  She was so exhausted, but somehow they beat Hurricane for the Championship!  It was such an intense game.  At some points I was preparing myself for the loss, at some points I was jumping up and down, at some points I was so stressed I couldn't sit, at some points I was hugging the other moms while screaming...

It was so crazy, but so much fun!!  I am so proud of the girls.  I am so happy for Emma.  She could not have had a better season.  And not just because they won.  She always played well.  The coaches really love her.  And the girls on the team are such good friends.  It was just a wonderful season.  And now it's over.
Champions!! (Emma is in the front, number 11)

I love this picture!

Emma and Cassidy--team captains.
They played their hearts out!

We took a sweaty, worn-out girl home with us!  And I couldn't have been happier about it.


In between Emma's games, we also went to Owen's soccer game so Greg could coach.  It was as cute as ever!  And we took the kids to Sunee's house where they spent the day playing with JB's family (they are in town) and Sunee's family.
Go, Owen!!

On the way home from the volleyball games, Greg and I picked up Panda Express for everyone for dinner.  Then we all met at our house and enjoyed a glorious evening just eating too much, playing like crazy, and talking for hours.  It was super fun.  We all love it when the Hawses come to town.  Cousins are wonderful!!
