Sports

Wow, What a family I have. The sports on our life have been very successful and fulfilling. I realize that lots of families do not have this venue, but our family does and boy have we all made the most of it. I want to praise all the athletes in my family today:
My father, an accomplished track and cross country runner.
My mother, the worlds best cheerleader and the power behind most of the University of Montana athletes
My daughters, both state champions in soccer.
My uncle Mike, record holder for the state of Montana in the high jump, played for the winning UCLA team under John Wooden, and In the Montana Athletic Hall of Fame
My neice Heather, state high jump champion
My nephews, Billy, Jacob, and Taylor, wrestling champions
My brother-in-law Bill, hall of fame wrestler
My sister, best cheerleader there is no matter the sport
My great aunt Carol, state hall of fame bowler
My uncle Jim, record holder in weight lifting for a 70 year old in washington
My cousin Kris's kids, beginning their journey in basketball and football
My cousin Shelley's son a soccer stand out in California at the peak of his careeer
My cousin shelley, track star and now super soccer mom
My husband Jeff, the best coach, father and athletic supporter I know.
Finally, myself, I placed 12th in the state golf tournament my junior year. I love being the soccer mom, I love watching sports on the television, I love going to games in person. I love that we have all had the abilities to participate and to be involved in sports.
Here's to spring training in one week, and the hopes of a Cleveland Indian world championship. The hopes are usually dashed after game two of the season, but lets have a dream people.........
