A reason to celebrate (or two.....or three........)

Congratulations Brycen and his "Tahoe Aces" soccer team for winning the 2009 Capital Classic tournament in Carson City !!

What a great weekend, 80 degree weather and just chock full of soccer. Brycen's club team placed first after 4 games of which Brycen scored a record 9 GOALS! The last team we played was a friendly team and we all went out to dinner with them and their coach after the tournament. Even though the team lives 3 hours away, all the boys were sharing phone numbers and promises to keep in touch. I love the sportsmanship exhibited by these two teams, and look forward to playing against them again.

All the kid's schools are winding down for the year, Ty is holding to a straight A report right now, we'll see if it sticks through the next 2 weeks. Brycen finished his school soccer team (which placed first) and is now catching up on his reading and training for 2 more tournaments to come with his club team, we are also watching to see if Brycen can pull off another honor-roll report card for the end of his first middle school year. Addy , well, she is just excelling in school and loves reading and art. Janelle taught some formal art lessons as part of our "Elementary Arts Program" this year and we got to go to the art show at the end of the year and check out some of the fun stuff we did. Addy is really into reading the "Animal Ark" chapter books and is getting ready to participate in the local library summer reading program.

Andy still loves his job, and recently attended a great luncheon BBQ with some favorite clients of his. His summer schedule has given him 3 days a week off so we are hoping to catch up on some camping and fishing this summer. He got his first promotion at work and is really loving what he does.

All in all, our family is well and happy. We are anxiously awaiting the end of the psychotic school year so we can chill and sleep in late and get a reprieve from our crazy school days. I'm sure I will miss schedules like this when the kids grow up and move out but for now, I welcome the break.

Happy summer ya'll. Congratulations to Lesha on her expected baby girl and Andrea on her new announcement. Our family is growing by leaps and bounds.

I figured that it would either be really, really good OR, really, really bad...........it was good!! Congrats on getting your license.

So much for a snails pace.

So, I don't know about you, but life around here seems to be snowballing for us. Faster....faster....faster. It seems the minute I turn around, one of our children is reaching yet another milestone in their lives. I try to relish the moment but so many times, it doesn't seem like we celebrate often enough some of lifes important memories or take note of some of the special messages we should be learning from our children. I am going to try to slow down a bit this month to focus a little more. (yes, it will be hard for me to slow down but I know it needs to be done.)
