So Much to Blog...So Little Time

We have had so much happen in the last little while, and we haven't been home to blog about it. So this is our mega update.

We will start with the Mountain Crest Highschool softball season. It was cold and kinda of long, but it was a lot of fun.

Katie played and Heidi coached. We were not sure how that was going to play out when it first started but it ended up being a very positive experience. The varsity team only won 2 region games all year. Katie was a pinch runner for the varsity team. Mostly she played third base for the JV team. The JV team won most all of their games. So it was much more fun. Heidi was the head coach for the JV. By the time the season ended all her girls had new nick names that I think are going to follow them even when they are not playing softball. So if your ever walking down the halls a MC and here people being called worm and mouth, you will know you have found some softball girls.

I think the thing that made Heidi the most nervious about coaching was learning to give signs to the batters and runners. She was a little tentative at first but by the end of the season she was pretty good at it. We thought you might want to see. So here is a video.

Katie learned how to play 3rd base this year. She did a great job. She also learned how to bunt and to slap. That part was a little frustrating to her but she is getting really good at it. She also played enough varsity innings to get her letter. Now she just has to earn the money to buy the jacket.

All in all it was a fun season. Katie learned a lot and made a lot of friends. Now we just have to "wait for next year!"
