Sports and more sports

Good morning everyone! This morning came and I did not want to leave my bed! UGH!

I am SO tired but it was worth it every second to hang with my family!!!  It was a very exciting and busy weekend!!

Friday night I went to my home group meeting and then drove directly to Columbus, Ohio! I left Pittsburgh around 8:00 so I did not arrive at my sisters house until after 11PM!

We chatted a few minutes and then went directly to bed! We had to get up at 6AM to head to a volleyball competition in the city for the day. My niece did really well and it was a lot of fun to watch her play - she LOVES volleyball! My parents came in for the weekend also so it was great to visit with everyone!!!

Here are a few action shots of Kyleigh!!

And another!!! It is so fun to watch play something they enjoy so much!

 

During a break in games for volleyball we all walked over to the North Market in Columbus.It was great! There was such an awesome selection of food and beverage choices! YUM! I got the brisket but ate it too quick to get a picture! HA! Here are Aly and Ryan poising for me - what great sports they are about pictures! HA HA!

At the convention center they had an interactive art display  called As We Are! You can read all about it here! Here is my head represented as if I were a 94 foot tall person! HA!

I had to get a shot of this as we were walking around downtown! The Blue Jackets are in the playoffs for the Stanley Cup in hockey. Since the Pens are out; I am cheering on the Blue Jackets!

 We got home late Friday night; had dinner and then crashed!! We had to wake up Sunday morning at 4AM to drive to Dayton, Ohio for a dance competition. Here are we when we arrived. You can see the changing tent in the background! It is also a great sleeping tent as we found out in the afternoon when we all took naps! HA!

The little dancers in their lyrical costumes!

After Kyleigh did her tap routine we found out that the competition was running really behind so we decided not to stay and wait around for awards. 

We got back to Columbus just in time to see my nephew Brody playing hockey!!! He loves every second of it - in fact, he is obsessed with hockey!  Here he is in a few shots - he loves Crosby and that is how he selected the number 87! HA!

In this picture he has the white helmet.  He scored a point while we watched! YIPPEE!

After hockey, we headed to soccer for my other nephew Ryan. He did great also! Such a sweet kid!!!!

Gooooo Ryan! He is the one in blue clothes and white shoes!

Since so many of us were together; we decided to celebrate my brothers birthday with a little brownie cake and ice cream!!! Happy birthday little brother! I love you tons!

How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen or just a chill weekend?

I hope everyone has FANTASTIC WEEK!!!! Hugs to you all!!!!
