lauren is playing volleyball again this year.
i think she likes it.
i never can get too much information out of her.
she says it's "fine" "same" "good" "fine"
so i guess that means it's going okay.
she's number 14.
we ALL went to her game on monday.
and brought great grandma too.
our kids acted as if they had never been out of the house before.
as if they never seen bleachers or knew how to sit on them.
they were WACK.
but it was good to see lauren in action.
that girl can hit hard.
traci - she can jump high too!! GO LAUREN!!!
princesslasertron - hahahaha. I remember loving bleachers when I was little. it’s amazing how they just fold into the wall! and what if I got folded up in them? and look how you can sit your butt either on the seat or in the foot space! let’s climb all the way to the top! let’s try to climb dad!
good for lauren. it’s really really really awesome to be involved in high school activities. I think she will remember these times fondly!
Laura Phelps - AH!!!!!!!! What is it about the BLEACHERS!!!!!???????? I refuse to take my kids anymore!
Tracy - Glad she’s having a great time – my daughter, Alliye, is also playing volleyball this year and is number 6 on her high school team! Unfortunately, the games are all during the week so I’ve not been able to get to any but my mother-in-law got to go to one last week while my husband and I were on vacation and took some pictures for me thankfully! I hope that Lauren has a great year! Hugs! :o)
lauren bean; - Haha thanks guys;) & yeah i do love volleyball I just get tired of hearing ‘How’s practice?’ every day, lol.
fyi…
teenage girls ARE fun. ill bet a great deal more fun than moms that blog, 😛 !
love, lauren
Kathy - So funny good to know I’m not the only one that hears “fine” and “good” and nothing else oh and “Okay” and “I know” yup that’s about it. Hope Lauren has a great season.
pve - I am living the fine-good-what mom life here and I it suits me fine.
carissa... brown eyed fox - get em girl… that was for lauren! 🙂 i saw a pic you posted of her the other day… OH MY WORD… she is GORGEOUS… she gets prettier every day doesn’t she!
i laughed so hard at the kids acting like they had never been out of the house! SO relate… it is almost out of body… like… “who are these kids”?
when we were house hunting… in a tour of homes… my kids were “WACK”! it was so weird… didn’t know whether to laugh or spank em! i KNOW they thought my kids were terrors! oh well… kids! 🙂
Wendy - That’s great that she has a sport that she’s passionate about! 😀 I think in teenage mumble talk, “fine”, “great” etc. area all very passionate words. lol I get the same from my 17yo son about football. I know he loves it though.
tami - yay, lauren! 🙂
Erin - My 8yr old daughter is learning to play volleyball for the first time this year. She loves it so far. I wish my 11yr old like it but soccer is her thing.
Flower Patch Farmgirl - Oh my word, I was so lame at volleyball. I never did figure out how to properly “set” the ball. It hurt my fingertips!
Lauren looks hard core. And you got some great action shots!
aubrey - Their shorts remind me of that line in the movie Hook–“However did you fit into those smashing tights again Peter?” I wish my legs and hips were that little–or that I was not full of baby and could go play volleyball–I think it’s fun.
Romana - Wish I could have jumped like that!
Meg, you have to check out this song, I think you could relate to it at the moment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_veIGGP1Uh4
If the link doesn’t work, check out Peter Denahy’s song “Sort of dunno nothin’ ” on youtube, hilarious!
Carrie - What a jump! She seems like a great athlete. Even in the midst of teen angst, you guys must be so proud! 🙂
And I am pretty sure fine and good are the most you can get out of teenager.
Dana D @BoysMyJoys - WACK- a-ha-ha, how truly well that word can describe children’s behavior at times!
Mine act the same way… A LOT!
WooHoo, Lauren!
adrienneK - awe thats so neat!!! go lauren!go lauren! 🙂 does lauren dislike being in the blog? she doesnt seem to be in as many posts lol (teenagers right?!) i have no idea what im gonna do when my girls are anywhere near that age lol
Staci - I love her answers, “fine”, “great”, etc…. I remember saying those same things 🙁 She looks like she is AWESOME!!! GO LAUREN!!!!!
purejoy - she’s got serious skills!! go girl!!
TRACI - Teen girls are soooo much fun….NOT!! LOL
Isn’t it cool though to see her excel at something? I always LOVED vollyball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate - Wow! And she can jump! Go Lauren!
