May 16, 2009

First, Happy Birthday MOM!!!the big 52. Well in her honor I ran the 5K Marathon. Okay better said I ran 1/2 of the way and walked the other 1/2 thanks to the support of Ashley and Laci. It was not as bad as I thought it would be it was actually fun and even funnier seeing Ashley dancing to a few tunes on the way;> Well I made it in time to take Koby for his Soccer Tryout with the HC Storm and I never made it for my soccer game. I was so excited with everything that I forgot to buy my RED shirt for the game. NO shirt NO game for me. Well thought I would let you see the pieces of papers that Koby and I had to wear today.

The big 862 is mine and 36 is Koby incase you cannot read it. He did really well we will not know until after Tuesday since they have another tryout.

Soccer is finally over....or is it....

Well the spring season of soccer for the kids is over FINALLY.
It took me a while to come back and finish my note but YES the kids are done but mom (that would be me) has decided to join the Woman's City league. Now lets get one thing straight I have not played for a long time and I am just trying to get back into shape. Its all for my health. So the first official game is May 16, 2009 and well I might, might not make it since I am also participating in the Running with Angels Marathon 5K at Thanksgiving Point and Koby has a soccer tryout. Busy day but we will manage.

My Daughter the ARTIST

I don't think I have shared that Natasha loves to draw. This year like every year their school has a school T-shirt contest. Everyone participates they draw what they think represents the school and theme. This year Natasha WON!! and she has been keeping up on the whole drawing. She really has a talent for this and I have actually been checking on her making sure she draws and does not trace because some things look too good to be true BUT seriously she does not trace and she really ENJOYS it.
Here is the actual drawing for the School T-shirt she drew the Eagle with the fireworks on top and she also added the vest that has the US Flag on it the school just added the scroll down below that says; Be Respectful * Be Obedient * Be United and down the middle of the Eagle they also added "I soar with the EAGLES at Freedom Academy!"
Just the other day we actually were outside talking with some friends the kids were playing and drawing on the sidewalk with chalk that I had bought them, Natasha again was in her drawing mood and this is what she drew on the floor
I will add the picture of the real toy later but its awesome RIGHT?!
