This winter we put together a volleyball team to play in tournaments on weekends. The original team is Candace, Jen C., Jen F., Karen, Myself, and Darlene. Darlene is preggers so she is done with tournaments this winter. We pick up subs for those who can not make the tournament. These 2 pictures are of our 2 winning teams so far. We have played in about 6 tournaments and we won 1st place in the last two. The cool think about it is that we started off kind of weak finishing in 3rd place. We either have matched the place or moved up. We got 2nd place before our 1st place winnings. If we win we get money back from the tournament. IT costs 150 dollars to play so if you get first you get it all back and if you get 2nd you get half of it back. It is fun no matter what place we get. The tournaments are on Saturdays and they start at about 9 a.m. We play all day until 5 or 6 and even past 7 in the evening. It is fun to get together with the girls and have a girls day out doing something I absolutely love. Erik brought the kids to the last tournaments as you can see Alex's head is in the picture. Not much fun to watch because he is chasing kids more then he is watching the games. Anyway, I decided to write something about me since I always write about our wonderful children. I hope you all aren't too bored!
