is your family cool enough for the front page of the news paper? OURS IS!

I have the coolest family in the world. Months in advance we asked for days off from work, making ourselves available for State Basketball. This is Kendra's last year, so we wouldn't miss it for the world! Thursday, Karissa, Trent and I jumped in the car early enough to make the game that night. Jenica left sometime that same day from Rexburg to get there about the same time. Tyleen and her friend Cassie were the smart ones and got there the day before. We went straight to the gym, got out team tshirts on and were ready to cheer our hearts out!

The first game was intense. Middleton was the #1 ranked team and were paired up against #2 in the FIRST GAME! They played hard enough Thursday and Friday night to get to the State Championship Saturday! We were so excited for Kendra! Our family is pretty obsessed with basketball. But all my life, I think Kendra has been one of the most obsessed in our family. From the time she could hit the hoop with a ball, I remember her playing in our backyard for hours. By herself! It was so fun watching her play, but it was even more fun watching her ROCK IT at the championships.

After every game, we'd come home and watch the news for the highlights from the tournament. It was fun to have such a famous little sister on such a killer team. I am so lucky to be in such a supportive family. I am sure some probably observed us at the tournament and thought we were crazy. My dad was telling Kendra to drink Gatorade until it came out her ears. My mom was downing tums like they were the new candy cause she was so nervous. Devin got reporters asking him what his name was cause they were taking so many pictures of him because he was such a crazy fan. Trent was always sitting behind Devin so was never shown in the pictures :) hahah poor guy. Karissa was stoked that at the last second could come and was loving every minute watching basketball and was probably wishing she could be out there playing too. Tyleen cheered so loud she lost her voice. And Jenica and I cheered as loud as she could and were loving every second of it.

Sunday morning we checked out a couple newspapers to check the coverage of the game. And who got a BIG picture on the FRONT PAGE of the newspaper?! That's right! OUR FAMILY DID!!! noooot the team, not the coach or a player. But the LIMB FAMILY!! I looked online to find the picture, but I couldn't find it. It was of all of us holding up the sign Tyleen had made that we held up as soon as the buzzer went off. It's a killer picture and I wish I could find it! So, after the excitement of seeing our faces on the front page we turned to the sports section and who did we see?! KENDRA!!!! The Limb family is famous!

I put some pictures I got from online of the tournament. I had such a blast with my family. While we were watching other teams we'd be telling stories and laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt. And while we were watching our team, we'd be cheering so loud our throats hurt. It was the best weekend ever and what better way to end a fun weekend than with ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

You can see the sign in the back of this one

That's my famous sister, Kendra Limb


And a little side note. I am proud to say that ALL of my sisters have played in a state championship game. You could probably say that, my family is just the cooooolest!
