This Morning & This Afternoon

Well, yesterday it was snowing in the morning....technically. There was NO accumulation, but snow was coming down from the sky so it was snowing. Let me tell you......last night the snow got down to business!! Woke up to a 2 hour delay this morning, and by 5:30 p.m. there has already been a 2 hour delay called for tomorrow.

This is my patio before I left for work:

This is my patio tonight at around 7:30.

LOVE the snow....the wind...not so much. It is howling out there right now. There is a snow warning in effect right now for our area until 7:00 a.m. tomorrow. They are calling for 3-7 more INCHES of the white stuff! Got my fingers crossed!!

NOW it feels like Winter!!

This morning the wind is blowing out of the north, therefore, it is freezing outside.....AND,it is Snowing!!! Ever so slightly, but there is SNOW coming out of the sky!! YEAH!!!!!

Everyone Wins!

Everyone wins this weekend, and I only have this one picture to show for it, and only because Briar texted me it after the game! Thanks.

The Eagle football team took on the Naches Valley Rangers Friday night in Connell. Unfortunately for Naches it wasn't much of a game. The quarterback, #18 - Christopher Walker, is a hometown Connell kid.....at least his mom and dad are alumni of CHS! He did well, but just not good enough against a great CHS football team. The Eagles came to prove a point and it was well made. The final score was 58-6. Next game: Saturday, 1:00 p.m. at Connell High School vs. Hoquiam. LONG drive for the Hoquiam kids, hopefully an even longer drive home.

The Lady Eagle volleyball team took FIRST in the District Tournament yesterday in Ki-Be. The tournament started Tuesday night at Connell against the Goldendale Timberwolves. The Eagles took the first 3 games. Saturday at noon they took on the #2 Naches Valley Rangers. It took 3 games to send them into the championship game, set for 4:00 against the Zillah Leopards. The Eagles DOMINATED the Leopards and took 3 games from them rather easily. FUN! FUN! FUN! Connell had a terrific hometown crowd that came to support them. That gymnasium was rocking....all for (well, mostly all) the CHS girls. After the second game all the parents gave the girls a standing ovation....the girls were on the court looking mighty happy. It was fun. One more tournament ladies....go get that State Title!!!!!!!

Last night at Hoquiam, the Columbia Basin Hawks took on the GreenRiver team for the Northwest Community College Football League Championship. They beat them 16-6, in the pouring down rain, for the title. I can't wait for Briar to wake up so I can get all the details. Good job boys!!

What a weekend. We sound a little big-headed, but OH WELL!!

Grandpa home from the hospital

Friday I didn't go to work but to Pasco instead, to help Janelle get grandpa home from the hospital. It has been a long 10 days of him being admitted for pneumonia. We are so glad he is home...where he needs to be! Janelle has been spending the days and nights with grandma. Mom and dad cut their vacation short, getting home yesterday to help situate everyone. Jeff and I helped out Janelle whenever she needed to go to run errands or go to appointments. It is truly an honor to be able to help out. Glad you are home, grandpa!!

#1 At The Quincy Tournament!!!

The Eagle volleyball team had a huge week of volleyball. On Monday they traveled to KiBe and beat the Bears in 3 games. On Tuesday Royal came to CHS and we beat them in 3 games. On Thursday we traveled to Burbank and beat them 3 games to 1.

Saturday we traveled to Quincy and placed FIRST in the tournament!! It was awesome. The 8 teams were divided into 2 pools. In Pool A was Quincy, Tonasket, La Salle and Connell. In Pool B was Cashmere, Ephrata, White Swan and Toppenish. Connell beat Quincy, Tonasket and lost to La Salle in pool play. They entered the Championship Bracket and played the #1 team from Pool B, which was Ephrata. The girls beat Ephrata in 2 games. La Salle played Cashmere and beat them in 2 games. La Salle and Connell played for 1st and 2nd. Connell won in 2 games, each ending in a 27-25 score. The girls were so happy!! Wednesday at practice Laryn turned her ankle. She has been out since. Paxton has taken over the setter duties just until Laryn is ready to return. The girls have really come together to pull out key games. What a treat it is to watch them!!
