Merry Christmas

Christmas morning... Santa's milk and cookies are gone, presents are under the tree and stockings are filled to the top. Kids are excited and happy Santa was here!

Santa brought so many things that we wanted, we must have be REALLY GOOD this year! Thank You, Santa!

Christmas this year was celebrated with Scott's family later in the day. Eugenia's health has stopped her from standing in the kitchen all day to cook. So, we decided to ask and have the dinner here. Art, Eugenia and Jay came for opening presents and eating lots of great food! Steve and Lisa had prior plans, and couldn't make it up. We'll see them soon.
After supper, the food was put away and dishwasher was filled. Soooo, let the games begin! We plugged in the Wii and set up a bowling game. With two remotes all of us were able to play... it was a great time!

Dear Santa...

Christmas Eve started a fabulous holiday season! I, of course, had to work. I was able to catch a few hours of sleep before heading to my parents house for Christmas. Mom's tree was decorated in red/silver instead of the traditional ornaments of Eric and I's grade school made ornaments. After a fun filled day with Nana and Papa opening presents and eating a great meal. I was exhausted, and my day or night was just beginning. We checked on the where-abouts of Santa throughout the night, and wondering when he was coming to our town. That website I had posted, was awesome! Next year, I hope to post again, for all to follow him!

Noah is writing a letter to Santa and leaving him cookies with a glass of milk with only the shining lights of the Christmas tree.

One more check on Santa before we go to bed. He is in Canada, and getting close! The excitement was sooo intense, I was afraid he wasn't going to sleep.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Scott's birthday was December 22nd. We celebrated his birthday by baking a cake and getting him some new OSU slippers. In shop class at school, Makaleigh had cut out a heart shaped wood piece, colored in scarlet and grey for him. It's really cool!

Here's a blast from the past...Scott's first birthday!

And Scott now...turning 34 years old!

Noah lost ANOTHER tooth...

I'm sorry to inform you that Noah has lost another tooth. Tooth number 6. This time during our supper. The tooth was loose, very loose! And there was no chance of Noah letting me pull this hanging by a slither of skin tooth out. We are done eating, and going to check on the tooth. It's GONE! He has swallowed his tooth. All of the sudden, he grabs his throat and makes this awful face. He says that the tooth has gotten stuck in his throat. Big crocodile tears are swelling up in his eyes. I'm informing him that he will be fine, and that his Uncle Eric did the very exact same thing. His face after I had told him that his tooth was gone, was priceless! Oh, and yes the tooth fairy did come.

We Made a Gingerbread House...kinda!

Each year the kids make gingerbread houses, and this year we cheated alittle. I purchased a kit with icing and candy, but you put together and decorate. Noah started out the project, but only wanted to decorate the tree with candy 'bulbs'. He had left Makaleigh to finish the decorating all herself. It turned out very cute, Great Job Kids!

!

a WIN in Triple Overtime!

Look at that awesome box out! That's Makaleigh second from the left.

As of right now, I just what to say...that was the best game ever as far as hustle, non-calling referees, all-around football without pads. Makaleigh has wiped out one too many times, her knee is swollen and tender to walk on. The other knee is floor burn on top of floor burn. Man, she is a hustler!!! She scored 3 pts, with her shooting alittle off. Only 1 of 4 in foul shooting, and just not squaring up to the hoop, she was rushing her shot from the elbow. Maybe 1 of 5 from the field.

The scoring was crazy! The final fourth quarter ended in a tie. 25-25. Which pushed them into overtime. Three minutes on the clock. No shots would fall. Each team in a 1-1 free throw. Overtime ended again in a tie. 26-26. Only one foul shot each team was scored.

Overtime #2... three minutes back on the clock. With both team still in a 1-1 situation. Overtime ended again in a tie. 27-27. Again only one foul shot was made!

Overtime #3... another three minutes is on the clock. Now our team is going to be shooting 2 shots because of 10 fouls were made in the second half, if fouled. A basket for 2 was made by Heather, Karly made 1 of 2 foul shots for 1 pt, and Makaleigh shooting 1 for 2 shots for 1 pt to clinch the VICTORY!

Oh, and Makaleigh got a bogus call- an intention foul on her & a S. Central girl. The girl was trying to get position on Makaleigh, and Makaleigh was denying her, so the girl pushed Makaleigh, and she answered with a push too! Whistle was blown! And fouls were called! That call was late in the third quarter- you can't try to get control of the game that you let get crazy from the beginning.

The girls are off as far as games until the first Saturday of January. But practicing everyday!!! Rcord as of today game 4-2!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADIES!

O, the Weather Outside is Frightful...

The title says it all! The ice storms started around 3:45 in the morning. And the only reason I know, I was working and got off early. In a half hour's time, the cars, driveway & roads were covered with ice. I drove 35 mph all the way home. At that time, it was hailing. Here are some photos of our surroundings at the homestead. This tree is literally standing sideways due to all the weight of the ice.

Awesome Pic...Look at the thickness of the ice on the branches.


Icicles hanging from our back deck.

A tree in the back of the house damaged from the ice.


Our poor fence...we will have to wait until spring to see if this is going to kill out the tree. You are probably wondering why the leaves are still on & their leaves have color-me too!

Noah's Christmas Program

The Preschool started out the night with singing, clapping & dancing. Noah has 3 friends that just missed the cutoff for kindergarten in this class. Cute! They really got into the clapping...

Let the band play! Fifth and sixth graders had practiced hard through the year for their first concert. WOW! They really did great! A little off key, but great for the first time touching a instrument.

And finally 'The Mice Before Christmas'. Noah had mouse ears and his face painted like a mouse for the program. They sang a few songs & danced about. Cute!
But just a little disappointed...no traditional songs. No Silent Night, Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Or dressing in your very best clothes. :(

Fall School Photos Finally Here!

We were waiting on Evan's pictures. He wanted to take retakes, because of his smile. Anyways, Makaleigh is in the eighth grade & 14 years old. Evan is in the fourth grade & 10 years old. Lastly, Noah is in the first grade & 6 1/2 years old.

A Day to Remember...

The day started with Game #4. A home game with a hard victory! Papa & Nana came to watch Makaleigh, and was thrilled at how she played! The girls started the season with ten girls. And two of them weren't able to play in today matchup against Crestview.
Makaleigh played every bit of the game, but a minute in the third quarter, for a breather after a fourth foul call. She ended the game with two baskets made, 0/4 in her foul shots, a black eye, floor burns and a very sore banged-up body. An opposing teammate and Makaleigh were talked to about their roughness out on the floor. Matter of fact, it was the same referee that got her last year for the same thing. After the game, both coaches stopped me to say how Makaleigh had come to play today, very impressed with the actions and player of the game!
That's Makaleigh #24 white rebounding...




Cousins...Karmyn, Kendra and Lincoln came over to play tonight. Actually we babysat them to allow Steve and Lisa to go to the NS Lake Division Christmas Party. The kids enjoyed themselves so much(okay all of us,Scott probably the most)! We ate supper, colored, watched a movie, played and made a treat. I didn't even get to hold Lincoln the first hour he was here, Scott was 'hogging' him. ha~ha Sitting here writing this has made me think about the night and Scott 'hogging' them again. Right after the kids were dropped off, Scott had asked if I was going to bed, knowing I had to work. I answered no, I want to see the kids too and I'm fixing mac-n-cheese. I just think he wanted to enjoy the kids all himself. The next day, he would laugh aloud at something the girls did or said. We really loved having the kids!

Game #3

The girls lost by one stinkin' point... The team just fell apart! Didn't play together at all! No T-E-A-M, just I's, well one I. Find the outlet person, dribble down and shoot. Not look at the four other players on the team, just shoot yourself. I was soooo mad, furious, angry! As of my opinion, the game was lost by her. You can't shoot the ball thirty times, only make two baskets and expect to win the ball game. So, we lost 30-31. A rematch game is already set for later in the season, so maybe a win then.
On a better note, the auditorium's gym floor was replaced with a synthetic flooring with legal size volleyball court/down sized basketball court and wall padding. The floor turned out awesome...a real nice improvement for the school. And I think, our girls were the first to play a game on the new floor.

Game #2

On the road again...traveling to Mapleton. And came home with a 'V'. The girls played more together today. Lots of hustle and ambition towards the game! Loved it!

Makaleigh served as a co-captain today. She ended the day with a bloody nose, slapped in the eye and a huge rug-burn on her knee.

The Season has begun...

Makaleigh's eighth grade basketball season has officially started! And with a WIN! Tuesday, we traveled to New London school, and kicked butt! Not a very high scoring game but the outcome was still a win. 21-13 with Makaleigh making both of her foul shots for 2 pts.
What a good way to start out the season~Good Job Lady Eagles!

How to Cook a Turkey

Maybe we'll try his recipe next year! Noah's version of cooking a turkey was just too cute... I just had to share! I love it, Noah!!!!

Last Day of Fall Colors...

My favorite... October the leaves are changing, Halloween's trick -or-treat, Thanksgiving and finally Papa's birthday mark the end of fall colors. So with the first day of December coming soon, construction will be displayed. The orange cones will be out, but on a good note...only for the day. Blogging will be resumed in full by Tuesday.

Shopping on Black Friday

It wasn't soooo bad! Scott had to work, so I ventured off myself. I got up after he left for work around 6am. The kids were all still asleep, so my exit was a fast and easy escape. I went to Wal-Mart with my list in tow. And with my surprise, I got everything I wanted for the kids! My shopping this year has officially started...and I'm soooo excited?! I also hit up Target, Old Navy and Lowes.
The crazy ladies that start shopping at 3am and shop all day for the best buys...my props to you! Okay, I'm 4 hours into shopping and I'm exhausted! This kind of thing isn't for me...fighting the mob of angry ladies trying to get the last and only toy made to mankind is madness! Pushing and running over me with their carts aren't cool, I just must say! Remember the years of the Cabbage-Patch Kids???? No more is needed to be said...

Happy Birthday Papa!

Today is the celebration of our wonderful Papa, who has turned 61 years old!

And also the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise known as 'Black Friday.' If you are the venturous type and head out shopping, get some good deals! And be careful...it's a mad house out there! In the news, a NY employee of Wal-Mart was trampled and later died from the rampage of customers. Crazy!!

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL...

We will be celebrate Thanksgiving with my Grandpa and Grandma Halsey this year. Four children with spouses, seven grandkids in all and twelve great-grandkids too! We will be decorating a Christmas tree as a family TOO!
I'm sooooooo excited! Pictures and stories soon to come! Stay tuned.....

Noah made TURKEY cookies

Looking through Sunday ads, I had notice some sugar cookies that were decorated like turkeys. I thought Noah could decorate them for his class on Tuesday, last day of school before Thanksgiving.
I had told Noah if I can't find the candy corns for the feathers, we won't be able to make them. Just in case, I couldn't find them, his heart wouldn't be broken because it was set to make this 'turkey cookie.' Since Halloween is over, the candy corns were hard to find. Scott & I had went to three different stores in looking for them. Scott even mentioned just using the colorful Mike-n-Ike's. But I was determined to finding them! Last store and final gleam of hope, the gas station. YES! And even in stock priced as a 2 for $1 special.
Noah was excited! The cookies were baked, icing and candies are ready to assemble. But first, Noah needs a taste test...Yummmmmm! They are delicious! He starts decorating, and gets the icing on his fingers. Yep, you guessed it, LICK! The cookies are finished and ready to share with the class of first graders! A fun and easy treat for the kids!

My Life Just Ended...

We came home to a mess, just one mess. One that I didn't want to ever happen!!! Saturday morning, Makaleigh had basketball pictures followed by practice. Scott and Noah had dropped her off, then met me after work to get a few groceries. We decided to get a bite for breakfast quick, and Scott respond with "Oh SH__! I don't think I put the dogs in the cage." Thinking that the dogs would be on their best behaviors, we didn't rush home that minute. We went to get the few groceries that we needed, and now to the home front. I peek through the window to see Apollo sitting in front of the kitchen sink soaking up the heat from the air vent. Jack and Rocky are MIA. I opened the door and the dogs came running. Laundry room, hallway, kitchen, and dining room escaped untouched by disaster. So we finished unloading the truck. Scott walks to the front living room to inspect the rest of the house and finds 'the mess.' I don't remember Scott exact words, but I do remember is the tone in his voice. He voice made me tremble inside with fear, I was scared. As I walk in there the thought that came to mind was my cat was chewed up laying on the floor not able to move. Noooo, it was much worse.......the dogs or dog(I think, Jack) had taken my camera lenses out of the case and chew on it like a bone! What... are you serious.... YES! I start to cry, get down on my hands and knees picking up pieces like I was going to save my passion for photos. While picking up the pieces, Jack the youngest dog, comes over to say sorry with a kiss. Sorry, a kiss isn't good enough for me! I'm definitely holding a grudge for a long time!

Apollo had tried to get a pack of gum out of my jacket pocket by chewing and gnarling on the pocket. I yelled and screamed at him and didn't talk to him for three days. Finally on the third day, I was on the computer and he came up to rest his head on my leg. Of course with the sad puppy dog eyes saying "I'm sorry will you please pet me?"

Dog... a man's best friend! Whatever..... I'm choosing the wrong friends!
laugh~laugh

Here are some photos... slobber was everywhere! Teeth marks and slobber cover the lens. The metal prongs are bent and buttons are missing. I'm not a happy camper!

Making Gingerbread Ornaments

I love these ornaments! These gingerbread ornaments look and smell like edible gingerbread - but don't eat them! They become very hard after they are baked and are meant to be painted and then hung as Christmas ornaments.

Last year, was the first we had made these. Makaleigh would roll out the dough & use the cookie cutters. Next day, the kids and I painted each one. And even made my basketball team a ball with their name on it. Letting them dry overnight on the dining table, and waking up to a chaotic mess! My dog, Apollo ate every last one! I cried and yelled and cried some more!!!!! Acrylic paints & spray were also on the ornaments...crazy dog! He never ended up getting sick on his own, but I gave him hydro peroxide to make him get sick, to get that poison out of his system.

Anyways, the recipe is fun & smells really good!

An Awesome OSU Video...

OSU vs. Michigan Week...

It's all about Ohio State & Michigan week. The emails are flooding in. And the football season is coming to an end. Only to say that winter is approaching FAST!

The last game of the season is their hugest rival and fun party for us. We are having a gathering at the house, all is welcome!

Corn Maze for Michigan Fans

Casino Night...

My employer hosts a 'Casino Night' for their employees each year as a 'Thank You'. The night starts around 5:30 for dinner, a brief meeting about the year in review, and let the gambling begin. Craps, Black Jack, and some spin the wheel & see if you have chosen the right combo of numbers after you made your bet. Each person has received $3000 in 50 dollars bills. After the gambling is done, money is counted & top winner picks a prize. Everyone wins that has money left at the end of the night. Prizes range from a Wii gaming system, Cleveland Cavs tickets, Cedar Point season passes, Fuji digitial camera, Faberware pots & pans, charcoil smoker, digitial frame, tool box, dvds, ipod, camping tent, corn hole, etc. So many things to choose from!

At the start of the night, both Scott & I were losing money. LOTS! So we sat down and mingled with the others. We decided to try again at the craps table, and my the end of the night, I was betting $1000 at a pop. Only to win all the money back we had lost together!

Last year, the top winner had winnings of $20,000. This year, that amount was blown out of the water with earnings of $43,150. We had a good time...

Since, our company works 24/7, it is hard to get off at the same time. So, twice a year the supervisors plan to go out after the gambling. And the supervisors are close in age with the exceptions of two, and have spent the last three-five years together. Our shift was planning to meet up with them too. In other words, let the PARTY begin......

Veggie Soup Recipe

You are so funny! Okay Brenda...the recipe is as follows: 1 big can of Veg-all veggies drained, 1 big can of V-8 juice, 1 regular size can of beef broth, onion, a few extra potatoes cut up and the secret ingredient is a can of beef shredded with the juice added. Yum-Yum!!! I put into the crock-pot first thing in the morning on high. Add a grilled cheese sandwich on the side for a delicious meal! Oh and a picture to tantalize you with... hehehe. Hmmm...Now I have your mouth watering, can you smell that aroma?

XOXO

Vegetable Soup

I just made my very first pot of vegetable soup ever! Gramma T's recipe was easy and delicious! I thought it was more difficult than a couple cans here and a few potatoes there. Scott & I will definitely enjoy a good cup of soup on a chilly weekend coming ahead. Of course the kids won't eat this...Noah could smell the aroma after school, but was quick to say he wouldn't like it!

Oh and by the way, after work I checked on the motorcyclist that hit the deer. His girlfriend had said, he ended up getting checked out at the ER. Greg ended up with a black eye & a puss sack under the eye. The bike on the other hand, wasn't so lucky, goes into the shop for repairs on Saturday morning.

I Voted!

Today, is the big day. VOTE...for what you believe in.

CHAMPIONS!

The Championship game was scheduled at 2pm and their home school field was hosting the Youth Bowl this year. So, maybe the home field advantage...you are wondering? Nope, the boys played AWESOME! #1 RV vs. #2 Highland. A rematch. RV going into this game undefeated, 8-0. And Highland 7-1, only losing one game this season to RV. The first time these teams met was two weeks ago, with a RV win 18-0, played at Highland. Both teams would get into touchdown territory, but only to be stopped by the opponent. Matter of fact, the first and only score happen late in the third quarter. The boys played tough, and the Scots were out for payback.

The season has come to an end with a long 14 weeks of battle bruises, sweat and tears for the achievement of learning the game of football. All of your dedication, teamwork and strive to be the best earned you the UNDEFEATED SEASON & 2008 CHAMPIONSHIP! Congratulations!

I Witnessed a Motorcycle Crash

This morning on my way home from work at 7am, and had witnessed an accident. OMG! I was following a motorcycle on the bypass. He was two car lenghts in front of me(I don't follow close to motorcycles)Next, I see sparks... and the tail light go sideways. I'm thinking to myself...WHAT! I turn on my flashers immediately and pulled up behind him.

Me: Are you ok?

Him: Did you see the deer, I hit a deer!

Me: Have you called anyone?

Him: No. (while reaching for his phone) I can't believe a wrecked my bike!

We called his work and reported him off. Looked at the scuffs, he was pretty banged up! A nice half dollar size bloody bump above his eyebrow. Road rash on his hands, elbows, left knee and hip. He hadn't had a helmet on, and later I found out that his girlfriend was buying one later that day! He had just purchased the Harley a week ago, and rode it to work that morning due to the nice weather. We picked the bike up after skidding down the left side of the bike for 150 feet, to find the windshield not attached and a chrome piece from the front fender stuck into the passenger's backrest. CRAZY!!!!!!! Still freaking out that he hit a deer, he decides he has to find it. Starts walking down the highway behind my car, and finds the deer scooting his hind legs across the road. I'm afraid the oncoming cars are going to hit the deer again and slam it into us, or better yet try to swerve to miss the deer and hit us! So, I back my car up in the fast lane of a 4 lane highway, with the deer in front of my car still alive and trying to get away from us. Cars are swerving right to miss my car and then back a hard left to miss the wrecked motorcycle. But, NOT ONE person stopped to see if we needed help, to tell me to get the hell out of the road, NOTHING!!!! Finally, two state troopers are on the scene...now the deer has made it across two lanes of highway, a deep ditch and the start of the westbound highway(may have been eastbound, you know me with my directions). One trooper says in the most calmest voice, 'I'm going to have to shoot the deer.' WHAT???!!! My head is spinning...this kinda stuff only happens on COPS not right in front of me! The deer is like 'you can't keep me down' and gets up again, falls and looks right at the trooper. The trooper checks on us(the girlfriend, the biker, and me). He walks back to the deer, and the stubborn thing was still alive...another shot. WHAT???!!! I just witnessed not just one shot but TWO at point blank. Shivers are going down my spine! After the report was made, I had found out that Greg was his name. And he had also said that the deer looked straight into his eyes the second before he hit him. By the way, if you were wondering the deer was an 8 point buck with a nice set of antlers. I should of called Jay to come get it. Despite the hind legs were mangled and a couple gunshot shells the summer sausage would have been great!

Halloween Through the Years...

This slide shows the kids dressed up throughout the years of Halloween. Please click the arrow button for the next photo to appear,or make sure that your cursor is moved off the slideshow. Pretty darn cute if I must say!

ARRRGH!

Noah the Pirate...

His teeth couldn't of fallen out at a better time! He plays the part well! ARRRRGH Matey!

The weather was perfect. Warm enough to wear sweatshirts, and not cover up the costume with a jacket. This was our first year walking for candy at night. It is much more exciting than at two in the afternoon. By the time we got home, Noah had falling asleep in the truck. He was wore out. The hype of school all day, homework, trick-or-treating & supper took a toll on him. He slept great though! Didn't even move an inch...

Another BITES the Dust...

Pun intended! Noah has officially lost both of his front teeth. And the Tooth Fairy is BROKE! Two teeth in one week!
Noah hit the back of his little friend's head with his mouth. Blood everywhere! We finally got the bleeding to stop & a good look at the damage. The tooth needed pulled because it was just hanging there. The gum just above the tooth was bruised, and the right side gum was still tender. Finally, Noah said "I'll just pull it." That came from after school yesterday, I was bribing him with '5 BUCKS' to pull his tooth. It has been loose, it just needed an extra tug. So, in the end, Noah has pulled his own tooth. Five in all!

New-Do...

In the morning, before school, Makaleigh got out the curling iron. I was very surprised! She wanted a new look... So what do you think? My baby girl is growing up before my eyes! Next thing, driving...but for now I will deal with curling the hair. She looked awesome! And by the way, she got lots of comments at school. I love it, Makaleigh!!!

Smile... Noah

Noah has just lost another tooth! As you can see it was his top right front. And actually both top front teeth were loose, and has been for awhile now! But the gums are growing big spaces between his teeth for his new adult teeth. It's kinda cute, but that was before losing this tooth! Now, the poor kid looks crazy!

Happy Sweetest Day!

A celebration to all the couples out there...I love you honey! We spent our sweetest day apart. :( My day started at 8:30a, getting dress for my debut as a photographer, dropping off Evan for his game, and Makaleigh to a scrapbook party. I got the camera gear ready, dress, and out the door. Makaleigh's off...Evan's off...Makaleigh is picked back up & at home...now I'm off to the church! It is now, noon, and I have already be non-stop since my feet hit the floor this morning. The pictures I am taking are for a wedding, my first wedding! All is going well, and the Maid of Honour gets my attention to say 'I don't have the ring, it's in the Bride's purse.' So, I'm now hunting in a room full of purses, 11-12 to be exact. I find the ring, hand it off to step-dad, he discreetly hands it to the end of the line of six bridesmaids. You could see each of the girls hands go behind their backs to hand it off to next in line, and none to soon. Maid of Honour is slipping her ring off her finger, as the Major is asking for 'the ring.' A relieved nudge from a bridemaid with the groom's ring hits the Maid of Honour, just in time! It was funny! The next day, we find out that everyone seen it! Grabbing the ring, right hand, back, left hand... next right hand, back, left hand... next right hand, back, left hand... etc... MoH right hand, juggling 2 sets of flowers, to bride's hand in a matter of seconds! Funniest Home Videos, this video is a winner!

On a serious note, I am going to start another website for my photography. So, please stay tuned and watch for the new addition! I will be adding it to 'Websites...We All Love'

Ernie Comes to Town...

Ernie and girlfriend, Randi had come to visit us during Scott's vacation. He had a fun filled week full of fishing, fishing and more fishing. And yes, a honey-do-list for one day(he only allowed for one day). Friday, I actually was scheduled off of work, and the four of us went out on a date night! We started the night eating in the bar section of Frickers(great food) and then hitting up a haunted house. Not too scary, but the entrance guy, HILARIOUS! We laughed more at his jokes and comments towards us than being scared through the haunted house. We had a great time! Thanks for coming up to visit Ernie & Randi!!

Tackle Them...

Now, we are off to see Evan play football(a double header today)and meet Nana & Papa there. We also made the game, Parents Night like high school. It will be nice to see the change in us in a few years. He plays very well! A few tackles by himself, and 2 great blocks. At the beginning of the season, he would play both offense and defense. Now, he is used strictly for defense. The poor kid has bruises all up and down his arms. His chin is chapped, from the chin strap sweat. And his legs are so tan from the knees down. The fourth grade ended their season with a bang! Win 18-0 against Bucyrus! JV has 2 games left and are still undefeated! Keep up the good work guys...Youth Bowl is coming soon!

Tournaments

Makaleigh had an all day tournament for volleyball. Which they ended the season with a tie in third place. They girls were seeded in fourth place and had a record of 8-6. The girls celebrated the season by taking photos like this one,and staying to cheer on their ultimate rival to take it all. And the Flyers won, in three. And let me say, it was VERY weird to see an Eagle yelling out 'Go Flyers Go!' GREAT SEASON LADY EAGLES!!!!

Season Ends...

Makaleigh's volleyball season ended with the best game of the season. Which it should have! The biggest rival of the conference and like I said the best game ever!! The girls played their hearts out! First play of the game, bump, set, spike by St. Paul and a block by M'Ville. AWESOME!!! Point by point, and both sides looking great! We serve for 10 straight points, & in the lead. With their best server up for us to receive, we don't bump the ball to the setter, it goes into the stands. Point. We get the ball back to serve, 22-19 & miss the serve. Point. 23-19. And a time-out ~ recompose the team & make them side-out! A nice volley between the teams, but the outcome a loss. 25-19. Second game: A good start, but bad bumps ending with hitting the ceiling because of swinging their arms or flying through the stands by hitting the arms unevenly & not moving your feet! Our serves are missed at crucial points! The girls really came to the opposing school ready to play ball!!!! I seen intensity that was skyrocketed, fans that were charged up & the girls came ready to kick some butt! Tournaments start Saturday morning & the seed drawing is this morning(Friday). The season ended with a record of 9-6. But only losing to three different schools twice. Not bad...
