St Patty's Blazer Game

We had one of those interesting and fun...and kind of so our life Saturdays where I left the house at 7:45 am and wasn't really home until 10PM. Two soccer games, basketball game, basketball party...and then Blazer game!! Frances and Mark went to the thorns games. Henry's friend Jack was staying over, so I bought two tickets for me and Maggie and gave the boys my parents tickets. So fun...but mental note.....don't take a 6 year old to a nighttime game on St Pattys and sit in the 300 section. HOLY WASTED people. The man next to use passed out on his girlfriend and when I saw body movement indicating future puking...we bolted. That said, it was a fun night and great to see the Blazers win 12 in a row and the sparkle in my kids eyes.Thank god for innocence.

Cousin Fest

Christian and Brian came out for the Golden State Warriors Game (Christian is a fan....Blazers won...just saying....) and Jenny had a layover in Portland en route to San Diego. So, we had a four hour cousinfest at a brewery near the airport. Pretty awesome.

Spring Runs = Bliss

We have had some FANTASTIC Spring days lately, which have afforded me the bliss of running in Oregon Spring weather. Impossible to be in a bad mood....for me...and for Cormac. The Thorns also had their first preseason game....which means......MLS and NWSL are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Basketball = SKIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tough thing about being a basketball season nowadays is that you usually have tournaments every weekend and can't ski. With Frances's season ending early....she got to ski! We wanted to make a weekend of it, but I had a lot work....solution.....get a ride up there. It was awesome. I got to work on the way up, avoid driving in traffic and parking, and then I got a whole day with girl, and could work on the way home Win. Win.

Frances Basketball Season 2018

Frances had another great basketball season. Despite being small in numbers, they were mighty in heart and had a great coach. It was also fun to see her as such a leader, despite being the youngest girl on the team.
