Guess what? THE UVU VOLLEYBALL SEASON IS OFF TO THE RACES! And look who showed up on their instagram feed “11” days before the first real game hits (on Friday): Our own “#11.” (You can see the whole season schedule HERE.) I just love that these two high school teammates…

I know it seems like I’ve said “this is the end” like forty-two times, but you’ve got to admit, this volleyball journey has taken us on a ride! From thinking she was done after high school season to thinking she was done after club season to deciding to play in…

I’m going back to pre-corona for a minute here, because gosh, there’s still a whole lot to document from “B.C.” And right up there on that list is pickleball. Ha! But really, Dave is so in love with this game. Such a good outlet for him. Such good friends to…

I have mentioned that Claire is playing volleyball pretty much non-stop around here, but I haven’t had a chance to post many pictures yet. And I may as well get to work on that since we’re already over half-way through the season! Claire has the best of both worlds in…
