Columbia Youth Volleyball

It seems as though we have spent this Fall chasing Emma and the Heppner Mustang Volleyball team all over tim-buk-tu and back, and that she is the only one of our children involved in any activities.  I know part of the reason for that is the difference in the level of intensity between her activies [...]

IHS Softball Kicks Some Butt!

Today the Irrigon High School Softball Team played Enterprise in a State Softball Playoff Quarterfinal Game.  Enterprise was ranked #1 in the state, and Irrigon entered the game as a huge underdog.  Our girls were up to the challenge, though, and they played the game of their lives!  Irrigon defeated Enterprise 6-2, and now they play [...]

Emma & Track

Emma has discovered that she loves running track as much as she hates playing softball.  She is a great hurdler and sprinter, and she is doing very well long jumping, as well.  For me, the best part about Emma participating in track is that I don’t have to miss out on watching her because Irrigon [...]

Happenings

We’ve had a busy couple of weeks.  The three little girlies are running full-steam playing softball, Emma and I are right in the middle of the Junior High Track season, and Aaron’s chemical application season is starting to wind up, as well.  Right in the middle of all the action, I had to head to [...]

It’s Spring!

There are signs of Spring popping up everywhere.  Flowers are growing and blooming, animals are active and abundant, and the days are getting longer.
Spring athletic seasons have started, too.  Baseball, softball, tennis, and track.  I am the assistant coach for Irrigon’s Junior High Track team, and I love it.  We have a great group of [...]

Senior Night

Tuesday was Irrigon’s last home basketball game of the season.  The tradition is the Senior athletes and their parents are honored prior to the start of the games, and Tuesday was no exception.  It was different for us, though, because this year, WE had a Senior.  Aaron’s brother and our sister-in-law, Pat & Tera, have [...]
