A Short Volleyball Video

The upload quality is horrible, but this video shows Jessica serving for an ace (I missed the actual first serve) - and then a second serve.

The Sports Never End - Volleyball 2013

And in addition to Jessica playing on her school volleyball team this year, six of the girls from school (including Jess of course) have joined Club West - a club volleyball team based out of Culver City.  They practice Tue/Thur from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and every weekend we have either another practice, or a tournament.  So far Jessica is LOVING being on the team and her skills are improving at an amazing rate.  Currently Jessica is the libero (middle back row), but she will be training on all back row skills as she will not be six-foot-plus by the time she is in college (or ever).  We have had some VERY early mornings up at 5am to be on the road to Anaheim for early weekend tournament starts.

Winter in Los Angeles 2013

And in the midst of all the drama that is the everyday work, school, sports schedule  - we are very lucky to be enjoying the Los Angeles weather that has us at the beach on a regular basis - even in the dead of winter.  And I should write winter in big air quotes "WINTER" - since our winter is so mild and sunny.  

Seattle Girlie Weekend - Summer 2012

So this summer the Nash girls decided to join Best'est Friend Donna Clarke on a trip to Seattle to attend her nephew's graduation.  Jessica fell in LOVE with Seattle and the fresh seafood on every corner, not to mention the gem of a find in The Biscuit Bitch - a breakfast spot we (dare we admit) dragged Donna to no less than three times in our short visit.  The Seattle Aquarium, Glass Blowing, Oysters, Oysters, Oysters, Waterfront dining, Cruise Ship viewing and tons of excellent sightseeing - we crammed in a ton in a short visit.  Thanks to Donna for letting us tag along.

AYSO Soccer Season 2012

So I am trying to get some shots updated on the blog, although they will be horribly out of order.  Here are some photos from the AYSO 2012 Soccer season - September 2012 to January 2013. Jess was the #1 goalie, but was also finally able to get some time at forward. The results were a few goals scored this season - her first in AYSO.  MUCH celebration after those goals.  The team won their entire Beverly Hills division and lost in post-season play when a few key players had game conflicts.  A great season and Coach Adrian was quite proud.
