a fun time with the UVU volleyball team
It just so happened that Claire’s very last season game was HERE IN THE DESERT. So we got to have a fun time with the UVU Volleyball team right here in our home town.
a little village of volleyball support
We decided if our girl is playing college volleyball the whole family should get to see her in action. I mean, when your school has stuff like this in the halls, it’s kind of fun, right? Ha! (Elle got there earlier than we did and took that one up there), then Grace sent this one…
moving and transferring and volleyball all smooshed together: college life
Our college girls have a whole lot of life-moving-pieces going on up there in Provo, so let’s do a little update on that. Because we got to do a quick overnight visit last weekend. Claire had moved from the dorms at BYU and that whole all-engulfing experience she adored so much (more on that HERE…
Remember that big volleyball finale? I was just kidding about that.
You see, we all really thought Claire was done with volleyball. She put in the work. She talked to coaches. She turned in film. She got some sweet offers. That whole volleyball recruiting rigamarole. And it was a GOOD learning process. Dave and I were pretty impressed with how she handled it all. But in…
a big decision for Claire and never-ending volleyball courts
I don’t know how to wrap up all these years of volleyball for Claire. I don’t know how to wrap up volleyball for our whole family for that matter. This sport has been such a big chunk of life for us around here. There have been years when it has felt like we have been…
volleyball, polar plunges, and some girl time in Newport
Claire happened to have a tournament in California starting a couple days after Grace returned from her mission. So we got to all go watch her together. So fun for Grace to see the level of play and to get in on some of this volleyball action before we reach “the end.” Love that we…
icy and dicey club volleyball
Welp, Claire is deep into her very last club volleyball season. She adores every girl on the team and is having such a good experience. It’s the best thing as a mom to watch your child make a tough decision and just feel 100% about it. (I’m sure it’s pretty great for that kid as…
the end of a high school volleyball career, big decisions, and on to club
High school sports are the best. In my opinion not only are they awesome for the kids (teamwork, work ethic, endorphin stimulation, leadership opportunities, strength development mentally and physically), but let’s be honest, they are pretty awesome for the parents too. I think I mentioned before that sometimes I get a little smile on my…
a volleyball recruiting trip to NYC
At the end of October I got to go on a volleyball recruiting trip with this girl to NYC. It was a little bit crazy actually. Because it was one of those chances that you see and you realize you must take despite all the nutty stuff surrounding it. It is not easy for any…
