busy, busy, busy

We had a crazy weekend! All started Saturday morning at 6am...everyone got up to get around and go watch me run in the Rock the Parkway Race (i did the 5k)...it started at 8am... I love my cheering section - I have THE BEST cheering section!

waiting for me to get done...such patience!

Finally got done...I did fine...I never race for time...and I didn't run the whole thing...but I did do it and I felt pretty good afterward...

I mean really!? Who wouldn't love having these two cuties cheering you on? High five from Mark!

Right after the race, literally walked off the finish line and off to the car because we had an even more important event to get to... Noah's 1st soccer game! Oh man I am so crazy excited about the start of sports for my boys...I can't wait til we have both of them going and we have to split up and figure out how to make both games, etc....I LOVE IT! I seriously started to get teary when I washed his soccer socks the other day and put them in his drawer...I mean this is it...it's the beginning... will he love soccer for the rest of his days and go as far as he can...will he hate it and try something else? (football, baseball, golf, track & field, swimming?!) The possibilities are endless...if it's one thing I want for my boys is to be well rounded, polite, and a TEAM player...they must MUST know what being part of a team means...it is so important for everything later in life...ahhhh...it all starts with micro soccer and shin guards and soccer socks....:) here's a video of our first game...i will be better next game - it was my first one and I was trying to watch the game, focus on him and also keep an eye on Mark...perhaps we DO need that fancier video camera... Curt? did you see that? I typed it out...:)

I am a sucky parent...didn't even THINK to bring the kid water to drink...first game and the coach after about 10min says to go get a drink...I had nothing...good thing Grandpa did (wasn't his first soccer game!)

Finished up the day with all the grandparents going to Pizza Hut to celebrate the first game...I think everyone was starving, even though Noah is the one that was running around...we gobbled up pizza, salad and sandwiches...then we ALL went home to take a nap...and we all slept...6am was early that morning...

I can't wait til next week -->; two games! Saturday at 10am then Sunday at 2pm as a make up game from March 26...make up games! LOVE IT!
