The One With Cheers

November 22-24, 2019

Another fall weekend in Oklahoma with ALL THE SPORTS!  Jake had a basketball game on Thursday night, Emma on Friday night, and Lara and her Pioneer Football team traveled to Yukon, OK to take on Choctaw in the State 6A-II Semi-Final game.  We had beaten Choctaw earlier in the season, and we expected nothing less this time around.  The players were ready, the trainers were ready, we were on neutral ground, and we were ready to go (even if it was a very cold fall night in central Oklahoma).

Keeping WARM!

ALL the managers in the heated tent!  
 My favorite moment of the game was during the first quarter.  Just a few moments into the game, Choctaw scored a touchdown.  They were the "visitor" team in this matchup, and their stands were PACKED.  Their band was there, spirit squads, and tons of fans.  When they scored first, the place went WILD1  I don't think I have seen celebrating like that in a very long time.  Alas, it was too much, too soon, and they didn't score again until the 3rd quarter - and by then the fans base had dwindled tremendously.  And they missed BOTH PAT's along the way.  None of it mattered, and Stillwater DOMINATED and the final score was 62.12.

In the meantime, Emma had played in her basketball game and cheered for the boys, and was home at our house for the weekend.  We got home so late I didn't get to see her.  Both girls were up early Saturday morning to work at the donut shop!  As I was working around the house Saturday morning, I peeked into Finn's room (where Emma stays while she is here) and saw this:

I don't think I will ever get used to seeing pom poms in my house!  So glad she has another outlet to express herself!

As the semester winds down, we ALL had lots of homework to attend to on Sunday, so that's how the day went.  Next week is Thanksgiving, so everyone can take a little breath, finish up college classes, then work towards finishing the rest of the semester strong.  In 2 weeks, Emma is on Homecoming court for M-O Basketball, and Lara will be with her Pioneers at the State Game in Edmond.  WHEW!  I wish I could be in 2 places at once...  Thank goodness for Nana and Grandpa!
