This past weekend was the state 3A high school volleyball tournament at UVSC. My dad and mom came down here on Thursday to stay through the weekend and watch Nappy. My mom is also an assistant coach for the Bears.

Bear River took 3rd place. At first they were a little disappointed that they weren't playing for the championship this year, but that soon faded when they found out they would get to play Morgan for third and fourth place. They played Morgan last year for the championship and lost. The Bears took the lead early and never looked back winning in 3 straight games. It was awesome. Morgan is usally such a powerhouse when it comes to volleyball, but Bear River out played them all the way!! Nappy played awesome...it was so fun to watch her. This same group of girls beat Morgan as freshman. All 6 of the starting varisty are seniors. I don't think they could have asked for a better way to end the season and their high school careers! Because of her awesome performance in the tournament, she is the Standard Examiner's start athlete of the week!! This was also there coach, Suzanne Merrell's last season too. This was also my mom's last year as an assistant coach. I'm quite sad that this is her senior year and we won't get to watch it any more. Hopefully there will be some college ball in the future!

All the excitement, stress, jumping up and down, yelling, etc. left my quite sore for the rest of the weekend, but I'm feeling much better today! Thanks Nappy for a very exciting weekend, WE LOVE YOU!!

Last night we had a little friend get together. Landon & Tawn, Alicia & Chad, and Kenneth & Alyna came over. We had a baked potato bar and played Cranium. It's always fun when we get finally get together.
