i spent my childhood years at the “ball field” as grandma webb used to call it.
doesn’t matter what type of field or court – we were the first ones there + the last ones to leave.
started with my mom + dad.
then on to cody.
then me.
then kylee.
+ last but not least, morgan.
_______________________________________________
crazy to think that mo is a senior in high school this year.
i’ll be honest, my sisters dominate in anything with a ball.
shamefully, i am the weakest link. i have mastered the hit + run though.
{i also got jon out in lightening at our singles ward fhe + he still can’t believe it}
but you go ahead + ask any sister // they’ll tell you i can trash talk my way to victory.
every single time.
i am formally known to them as the “intimidation station”.
i flex my muscles a lot. but that’s beside the point.
morgan, that volleyball all star, won the state championship a month or so ago.
i can’t really put words to the feelings of that day. it was picture perfect.
after the game, jd took his cell phone to mo + had dannika on the other end.
dan + mo, only a year apart in age, have been through every step of the road together.
they are very best friends! like, the very very best.
it was pretty hard for dan not to be there, but she anxiously watched those final points from her laptop in her dorm.
the building went quiet when he handed her the phone.
you can imagine the emotion. the love. the excitement.
+ then there’s my parents.
they have supported every single one of us all along the way.
they taught us the importance of supporting each other.
we A L L went to A L L of each other games. home or away. i see the power behind it now that i am a mother.
they sacrificed so much so that we could live our dreams at such a young age.
the joy in their eyes was very surreal + very deserved.
we are so proud of you, morgan webb. no one deserves it more than you!
thank you for a bringing all of us home a state championship.
sure can’t wait to borrow your ring.
