State Tennis Tournament


My 3.5 tennis team made it to the state tournament this year.  We traveled to Jackson early in June, ready for some big time competition.  We were so excited  just to make it to state, we used it as an excuse for a fun girls weekend and we would happen to fit in a whole lot of tennis!



Our fearless captain Mary Claudia (MC).  

Allison and I won our first match of the tournament :)  Allison is one of my partners, a hilarious friend and happens to be Amelia's gifted program teacher.  Gotta love small towns!  



The tennis was fun but the happy hours and dinners were awesome.


Day Two.  Ready for action in our orange.


Allison and I scoping out the other team.  We won this match too, yay!  


Even better...this is the match were my supporters showed up!  While I was playing in Jackson for my tournament, Amelia was wrapping camp up in the Jackson area as well.  Lucky for me, my husband is awesome and brought all the kiddos to help cheer mommy on.  Addison was so happy to see me, she kept saying, "Cheek to cheek mommy, let's take another picture cheek to cheek."

Made me play even better when I saw these little cheerleaders.

Another "W."

Our team decided to get shirts made this year with our nicknames printed on them.  

The shirts were a big hit and we had lots of compliments on them.  We also decided we looked pretty intimidating.  And really, with tennis, it's all about how you look;)


Third day of the tournament.  My awesome serve technique.  Yikes.



Look at that movement on the court!  Awesome:)  This is why I love the south-our opponents name was Poochi or Poozie or something.  I do have a hard time when my southern opponents state the score.  In a southern drawl somehow love, thirty, fifteen, all sound the same.  

This little puppy was Addison's best friend during the tournament.  

More pictures with my little one.

Jessica and I finished off the tournament with one more win.  Way to go team!  So proud of how we represented the coast:)
