I LOVE THE 80'S!!!

We hosted a JV team building party in our tiny apartment on Friday night. It was SOOOOO much fun. Our theme was the 80's. We told the girls they had to dress up or else they couldn't come in. We played Rock Band, Mario Cart and ordered Chinese food. It was so much fun to see all the girls get into it with their costumes and playing rock band. Jeff and I had a great time getting our costumes and as you can see, they turned out pretty awesome. It was a great bonding night for the team, some of the varsity girls were jeleous that they couldn't come. Maybe we'll do a whole team party next year!



Do you like Jeff's new tattoo's? He got it done just for our party. J/K it's just a sleeve we found at a costume store.










The weirdo in the pink wig is Jeff's friend Cody. He found that wig at a great costume store in Thornton, and the green robe at Arc Thrift store. He claimed to be a "80's cartoon character". It was really fun picking out our costumes, the three of us got them at Arc.

Volleyball Update

I've been a slacker about getting these updates posted, so I'm going to make it a short one. The Eagles have played a lot of volleyball since my last post. Three weeks ago they played at Fossil Ridge High School against the Saber Cats, and at home against the Sterling Tigers. Now do you get my whole "cat fight" thing? The varsity team lost to Fossil Ridge in 5 games. JV won in 3 games. Varsity lost to Sterling in 3 games. JV lost in 2 games. Saturday that same week Jeff's JV team had an all day tournament at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch. There were eight JV teams from all over the state, and one from Wyoming that were there. Jeff's team played the best they have played all season and took 3rd place in the tournament, losing only to the eventual champions, Denver East, in 3 games. Two weeks ago Broomfield played against Silver Creek, Varsity won their match in 3 and JV won in 2. That same week they played a new school to their league , Roosevelt, both teams lost in 3. Last Tuesday Broomfield played the Thompson Valley eagles at home. Varsity lost in 4. JV won their match in two. On Thursday they played the Mountain View mountain lions at M.V.H.S. Jeff's team played well and won in 3. However varsity had their ups and downs and lost in 3. On Saturday Broomfield hosted their "Third Annual Broomfield Volleyball Invitational". Eight teams participated in the all day tournament. Broomfield started off really well winning their first two matches against Greeley Cental, and Sand Creek. They lost their third match in pool play against Boulder. They placed number one in their pool, which took them into the playoffs. They played Berthoud for the championship match. Berthoud really only has one outstanding player but the Eagles just couldn't seem to step up their game and ended up loosing in 2 (they only play 3 games for tournaments). WHEW! See lots of volleyball. That's all for now, I'll have more updates coming for this next weeks games.

Congratulations!!

To my sister-in-law JoEllen and her husband Sean. They are expecting their first born! The new addition to the family is due to be here on February 14th. What a perfect day to bring more love into this world. Congrats you two, you'll be great parents! P.S. We just found out they are having a BOY! Yay, the first grandson on the Larsen side!

I caught Jeff asleep on the couch just before dinner was ready, and I couldn't resist taking this picture. Priceless!

The Eagles vs. the Greeks Week

The Eagles played two away matches this week. The first being on Tuesday at Longmont High School against the Trojans. Jeff's team (JV) went to three games. They won the first game 25-23, then played the longest 2nd game that Jeff has ever coached 31-33. In that second game his tallest and most intimidating middle blocker got hurt. She rolled her ankle and will probably be out for a week. Since they lost the second game they had to go to a 3rd game and lost 5-15. The second match of the week was played against the Spartans at Greeley West High School. Jeff's team won their first match of the season, 25-16 25-22. Go JV!!! Unfortunatly the Varsity team wasn't victorious in their match. They lost in 4 games. Next week they will be playing a couple of cat teams, watch out for the cat fights!!! More on that next week.
