A HUGE Victory

We just received word that Wes' brother, Bryan, just won an AVP Young Guns tournament last week. This is a huge accomplishment in the volleyball world and man oh man are we proud of him! Winning a Young Guns tournament doesn't put you in as an invited member of the AVP, but it does allow you to accumulate points for your ranking. Which in beach volleyball, is a big deal.
He has worked so hard and stayed so dedicated to his dream. And now he is starting to see the fruits of his labor. Boy howdy is he talented and we know he's going to go far. We can't wait to go out to CA and see him play soon! Congrats Bryan! You deserve it. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Congrats Beach Volleyballers!!!!!!

We are so excited for both USA teams that took home the gold in Beach Volleyball! We don't have TV here, so we haven't been able to watch most of the Olympics this time around. (It's been sad to miss so much! I think maybe next time we will temporarily get TV. We LOVE the Olympics!) But the one thing we haven't missed: beach volleyball, expecially Rogers/Dalhausser. We love these guys! Their quiet intensity on the court is amazing. They keep their cool so well, and they play together wonderfully. They are so much fun to watch. In case you didn't know already, volleyball is a big deal at our house. Wes and I both play, and Wes has 1 brother playing for BYU, and one former BYU player brother that is now living in Huntington Beach trying to get into the AVP. We are so proud of them both! Needless to say, volleyball is a big part of our lives. Last night, we dragged the kiddies to our friends the Riries' house (Kenny is Wes's v-ball partner) and lept them up until 11:15PM so we could watch the gold medal match. It was so very frustration to watch in the beginning, but in they end they stuffed Brazil so good that it was well worth it! Congrats Beach Volleyballers!! We love you!
