Even changed my outfit and hat for the appropriate team!  My favorite bleacher buddies!


Lost a close one! Still move on to the next round of state!


Stayed overnight at the Inversos. It was a rough night of sleep, and this is how Nyla ending up sleeping for a few hours! She started in the pack n play, to my chest, to the floor. Once sleeping, we don't wake her up!!


And straight back on Sunday to watch Kyrie in his bball tourney!





The boys took first place!



Kyrie will do anything for Nyla!


Cheese!!!


So thankful that Mia helps with Nyla after school because it gives me a chance to get some exercise!

Drove by the home we grew up in! When I see the house,  I picture my mom and her brothers standing on the front porch all together posing for a photo. Maybe it was Easter. I remember my Uncle Jon having bleach blond hair and everyone smiling and looking so happy! :)



Regional CHS game at Lake Washington! Lost, but still make state in the dome. Have to win to make it into the quarterfinals. So thankful we an watch all the games online if we can't go!







Was going through books recently and came across this book my Grandma and Grandpa Cusack gave me on  Christmas when I was 11. This was my favorite picture book growing up because I loved the oil painted illustrations. The pages were so smooth! ;)




Also found this book from Aunt Sandy given to Mia for her baby shower. So special!

Skyridge team breakfast and photo! Morning of the Paper cup vs Liberty!





Loved that Coach Will Logan got to coach Kyrie both years at Skyridge! And its such a small world that Coach is married to a close family friend, Ashley Honda, from growing up! So crazy!


Paper cup intros by the high school announcer! They don't normally do this for the games!


The Liberty Cup! The only game Maco was able to see in person due to Bruin b-ball! I wasn't at the game due to Mia's playoff game, so there are no videos! It was a hard fought game!

This Game is No Secret! Kyrie wearing this shooter shirt in honor of Black History month as are the Bruins! In 1944 Duke and North Carolina played in the first interracial game in secret! They held the game during church, so there were no spectators. North Carolina won 88-44, there is no score card of the game, and only one black reporter found out about the game and agreed not to write about it. Not until years later did other reporters and police learn about the game.

"Without question, the Secret Game was a landmark event, and within the next 25 years, college basketball was racially integrated in the south, due in part to the courage of those who arranged and participated in this game. "
Scott Ellsworth – Published in New York Times Magazine – March 31, 1996 







History being made at George Fox!

We love story time! Unfortunately Nyla's hair band broke and I didn't have any extras, so she was lookin a mess! But that's how we roll a lot with 3-4 kids in tow!

What do you get a 17 year old? A shopping spree of course!! Mia and I had 6 hours on a Saturday shopping at the mall! Her favorite thing to do, and my least favorite! But I sure loved our time together! As the days get closer to Mia leaving for college, I'm trying to soak in all this time we get together! It was a super special day!
