Anniversary and Literally - A Soccer Mom

so much for doing better of updating this blog. I am not sure where the time is going but is going by fast. Friday, Steve and I both took off for our Anniversary. It has been 11 years that we have been married. I would like to say it has all been wonderful every single day but we all know that isn't what marriage is. We have had our shares of ups and downs and for a while it just seemed completely down. BUT with our committment and our love we have managed to get back onto the upside of things. People ask me all of the time how long we have been together and in all actuality we have been together 18 years - I was only 20 when we started dating, not even old enough to buy a drink. So we spent the day with each other with no kids. It was so nice. Went and saw a movie and had lunch and did a little shopping - it was relaxing.

Logan had his first soccer game on Saturday morning. The coach that was suppose to coach backed out at the last minute and they had asked one of the mom's to coach. This was her first time even down at the facility and she knew nothing about the sport. She kindly asked me if I would help her and I felt so bad, so know I have become the assistant coach. It is exhausting trying to get these 4 years olds to run after the ball. Sometimes they do, sometimes they like to pick at their shoes, sometimes they run back and forth to mom and dad - it is chaotic - but I had so much fun and Logan loved that I was helping his team out.

Brayden also started his indoor soccer. He plays on Sunday mornings and this week his game was at 7:50! I know right, on a Sunday morning - it was so early. Needless to say we took naps yesterday. Even with the extra hour of sleep we were still all exhausted.

Saturday night Case hit the big leagues. One of his fellow managers quit and he was asked to travel to the Wake Forest game. He also got to be the ball boy and he was on TV quite a few times. Here is a shot of him that Bill took - it was so exciting to see him and the kids loved it. They were always looking for Casey :) Here is the picture. Super Excited for him!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is able to enjoy this wonderful weather - I know the next couple of days are suppose to be beautiful also. It is nice in the morning to have the light, but I HATE that it is going to be dark by the time we get home - it makes for dreary days :)

Happy Monday - everyone

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
