Another adventure!

Monday night at Hockey practice Sydney got injured. She was skating fast and her skate hit a crack, she ran right into one of her coaches. He wasn't ready for fall and landed right on her legs and pelvis. We took her to the emergency room where Xrays showed she had 2 cracks in her pelvis bone. She is bruised and beat up but for the most part doing ok.

Today we met with the orthopedic surgeon. He went over the Xrays with us and told us where we need to go from here. Syd needs to use crutches for 3 weeks. No running, jumping, P.E. at school and definetly no hockey for the rest of the season. She was pretty bummed about that but we are thankful it is not any worse. She is getting more used to her crutches all the time and has even swung them at her dad a time or two.

This is what Syd thinks of the doctor's orders!

Shalee had a tournament in Orange City this weekend. Her team took 2nd Place!! They played really well as a team and it was an exciting tournament!!

Her team was so excited they qualified for state!!

Our Busy Weekend!!

Shalee had a tournament in Sioux Falls this weekend. They had fun playing lots of different teams. They were a little bummed though, they took 4th place.

Sha making the serve!

Sydney had a tournament this weekend in Luverne. She got to play with the Mini Mite team. She was so excited she made her first goal of the year and then she made 5 more! She was so thrilled!!

Sydney was so excited she got to play goalie!!

Sydney with her Mini Mite Team!

Syd was pretty excited they won all their games this weekend on the Mini Mite Team. Every time they made a goal they waved their sticks in the air. Syd is right in the front with black and white tape on her stick end!

Our Coach!

That's right let's introduce our coach. The big man on campus, (the only man on campus), the big kahuna, the numero uno, the king of this castle (with lots of queens), the WII master wanna be, our man, the one and as you know, the only...Coach Tim.

Next our team manager

Yep, we need a manager for this team, ...a behind the scenes person. To take care of the team and deal with all the off court issues like injuries,game times and with 4 girls let's not forget the drama!! The team manager...Kristi

Our #1 Player Sha

Introducing numero uno our Sha. She's preteen and the busiest of all the team members. She bounces from Basketball to Volleyball and back again!! Trying to keep up with her makes the other Team Gesink players exhausted!!

Syd the Kid

Now, let's introduce Syd the Kid, our team's secret weapon. She's pretty versatile, going back and forth from Hockey to Soccer to Softball and willing to play any position. (As long as it's not too girly!)

Nyiah...cheerleader and drama intructor

Nope, I know you are surprised but Nyiah does not have time to actually play on the team...she is too busy being our cheerleader. (It takes her awhile to pick out her uniform!)

She also gives drama lessons daily!!

Last, but not least, our team mascot...Taya

That's right team mascot. Our 4th child, to the extreme and official pain in her sister's behinds. Our little Miss Independent. Her schedule is not as hectic as the other girls, but we still give her the attention she needs

(because she demands it!!)
