Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:)
I am a sports mom.
Plain and simple.
I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc
But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:)
So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires. 
Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:)
Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans? Heavenly

In the middle of football season lies the beast of the high school basketball pancake breakfast. It was actually fun to serve all of the people coming through...even the complainers...haha
Homecoming! And nothing better than superfan Lucy to hype up Chester!
Tight End and Defensive End
The team was something really special this year!
Handing off the ball to the ref after his touchdown!
What a feeling!
UNDEFEATED!



He walked right onto the JV basketball team and played like a dog:)
A bit rusty but still, he is in the middle of a growth spurt! And the handles need some work but the dog of a  street ball player is still in there. He's good on defense too which is fun to watch:)

His best game of the season! 12 points!



For basketball I gave a lot of my time and learned new skills like shot clock, asking parents to do things, working the gate, or yelling things like "let's go cougars!" or "GET IT!" or "BOOOOM" etc etc etc

I have met some really good people throughout the season and maybe, just maybe...made some friends in my 50's:)(which is hard to do!)
  Chester has always been a force in my life in terms of being social because he thrives in connection. I remember him in preschool holding his fore finger and thumb to make a C and saying....Connection!
It's such a great gift to have and I'm glad he shares it with me and pushes me out of my comfort zone:)

Signing off until next season as Chester surfs away his spring(along with early morning football workouts) 
and prays daily to grow and get bigger🤣

Audrey Opens Her Mission Call!

It's been so long since I wrote. but THIS! This needs to be recorded for all.  Earlier in the fall of 2024, after wondering why she hadn't had any specific experience letting her know if she should serve a mission, Audrey did receive her own personal answer. You already know. She called me and relayed her quiet yet powerful experience.   She later met with her YSA Bishop and opened her mission papers!      Everything fell into place with all her appointments and paperwork *phew  On the morning of December 31st...she received an email alerting her she had her call waiting to be opened in her missionary portal! She was all nerves haha So, we got ready and headed to Montara Beach per her request to read her call...and thankfully, we were all home to share this with her.  Such a sweet and tender moment to launch 2025 with💗 Dominican Republic  Santo Domingo East Mission! Spanish speaking June 2nd Mexico MTC after a week of home MTC :) I'm really proud...

We Are Officially Building That House!

And....we're off! First concrete pour was a success Along with a crew involving other people outside  of our humble brigade! This is the garage floor which really should be called  Clay's shop floor haha let's be honest here :) the mastermind at hand :) ten years ago we took this photo upon our move into the Milkbarn, the home that changed me, changed all of us really. What an era that was for us! I mentioned to Clay as we build our home here on the coast,  my heart will finally mend from leaving Boulder. We are much older(sigh),  much wiser(that's good!),  and even more patient(almost killed us and we wanted to quit too many times to count). But here we are.  The immense joy we get when we work together creatively is really something else. It's taken us forever. The pieces are fitting together. God definitely took his time with us. And now...we're back :) (p.s. most of what we'll do will be in my stories section on my instagram @jenniferjoycoll...
