5th Grade Graduation

This is a big day for Lexi. It is her 5th grade graduation. She has really enjoyed this school year mostly because of the friends she had in her class and choir. They really clicked this year.

Love the Mystics 💙

Our team came up a little short today, but I really love these girls!

Winning Day

This was our best volleyball day yet. First, we had enough players. Second, our serves were strong. Third, we stayed focus on the ball. All of that helped us win the first two sets, so the last one was just for fun/practice.

Only 5 Mystics

Our little Mystics volleyball team only had 5 players show up today. There were quite a few field trips and school things going on. In addition to that, Lexi had to borrow knee pads because she forgot hers. Luckily there was someone at the game willing to lend theirs or we would have been down to 4 players. The good news is that each Mystic player all got a lot of time to play and practice serving. They were only able to win the second set though, so it wasn't a winning day. 

Tough Game

It was a tough day for the Mystics, but mostly because half of them were late. At game time, we only had 4 players. They are supposed to be 15 - 20 minutes early to warm up and be ready. The ref let us stall for a little bit and two minutes later, we had enough. Sadly though, the girls definitely needed warm up time to get their heads into it. 

Mystics

I signed Lexi and Miriam up to play volleyball at the YMCA. I signed them up so early that I got a discount, but somehow Lexi ended up on a team without a coach. At the first practice, they asked parents to step up and help the team. I told them that I would be happy to help someone else coach, but that I didn't want to be the coach. Next thing I know, I am Coach Stephanie without an assistant coach. Whatever - it is going to be fun. 

We had our first game today and won the first and third sets and since it is 2 out of 3, we won!!! Pretty good since our team still isn't set and we have the smallest team in the league. 

Notes for Mom

It is my birthday today. I was pleasantly surprised with these sticky notes all over my bathroom mirror. Lexi and Miriam made them and so many of them made me laugh.

Birthday Lunch

This birthday girl turned 11 today, so I brought lunch to school to celebrate and eat with her. Yum!!!

Mom/Daughter Day

Jordan and I got to spend some time together last Saturday. Today, it was Lexi's turn to be with me. Jordan spent the night with Grandma & Papa. Lexi and I went to the mall and she wanted to do a few of the same things he did.
