So, we had our wonderful gathering at Smokey Row on Sunday afternoon. I will admit that I thought 4 hours was going to be a long time, but it went so fast. We had so many stop in to see us--it was wonderful. In the end, I am sure four hours was not enough. Below is a photo of some of our visitors.
I did drop the ball a little and realized that I had personally forgotten to let some of the girls from my 12U team know about our little reunion. But, we got some numbers and made some calls--Gabi and Jillian were able to make it and that made Layne very happy. That team that I had for two seasons is very special to me--they were a wonderful group and accomplished so much together. They have really cool GOLD necklaces to show for it!!

A new and updated photo of Nicki and Heath--thanks again Nicki, you did a wonderful job getting so many Fusion alum together.
Layne and her old teammates, together again. It took them about 1 minute to warm up and then they didn't stop talking!!
I am not sure who I turned the camera over to for this blurry photo--but you know who you are...... Some of the best Fusion coaching staff represented in this photo!!
We left Pella on Sunday night and headed for Newton and my sister's house. It was a balmy -100 degrees below zero (or it felt like it) outside and the snow was blowing sideways. Anyway, we picked up my nephew, Hayes, and then my mom and had a slumber party at my grandparent's house. Below is Hayes wearing my Uggs--on the wrong feet. He is quite a kid--maybe I will try to get some live footage to post, it will be worth it.
On Monday, we braved the mall and a few stores in Des Moines. Every year I tell myself to get the shopping done early and every year I forget. I really hate the crowds of holiday shopping!! We had Hayes with us--it has been some years since we did any shopping with a toddler and you really don't get to shop much. We did go inside every ice fishing tent they were selling at Scheels.
Last night Layne spent some time going through grandma's old jewelry and things. She came up with some interesting glasses for her and Pedro!! Pedro looks very smart in the photo.
Today (12/23), we had lunch in Pella with Krystal--another former Fusion player of ours. She was actually on the last Fusion team Heath coached. It was a great lunch with lots of laughing......
It seems there is another photo of Heath and Krystal in this same pose and we wanted to update that photo also.

We are going back over to Pella this evening for dinner--mostly with the Fusion adult players. I promise to take more photos and TRY to get on here again tomorrow.
I know it has been a hectic few days for us--but I will never regret taking the time to spend with family and friends.
