Exciting Soccer Game!

Dylan scored the only goal in today's game! We were all so excited (and very proud!). Watching him play a sport that he loves is so much fun (even at 8am on a Saturday morning!)

Here some pics:












We have a busy day ahead of us! At 1, we go to Taylor (our ex-neighbor & Dylan's life-long on/off girlfriend)'s birthday party. After that, at 3, we head to the Memphis Zoo for a Camp Good Grief Reunion.

A Mom & Son Day

Today Dylan and I went to see High School Musical on Ice! We have had these tickets for over a month now and Dylan couldn't wait for this day to come (Chris passed on seeing the show). The show was really neat and the two of us really had a good time. We had awesome seats (just three rows up from the floor!). It was nice to spend time with my son, I know the day will come when going to an event with mom won't be so cool :-)

A Lovely Afternoon

The weather today was amazing! It felt so nice outside this afternoon. We three spent the afternoon playing in Dylan's tree. It was such a relaxing, fun time. Dylan gave us his impressions of Indianna Jones and a monkey! Too funny!

1st Soccer Game of the Season

This morning I had to drag both Dylan and his friend out of bed at 7am in order to get them fed and to the soccer field by 8am (not an easy task!). We get to the field on time, only to find out the other team forfeited the game! However, the morning wasn't totally wasted. Our team got to have some good practice time (and we get our first "W" for the season). The kids had a good time and I got some new pics!

Dylan's fun Friday Night

Dylan had one of his new friends from his new school spend the night tonight. He was so excited to show Tre around his house and his neighborhood. At 7, I took both boys to our church for the annual Children's Church kickoff party. They hung out at the church gym, then went for pizza at CiCi's Pizza, and then to Bartlett Lanes for some cosmic bowling. The party wasn't over until midnight, however, since Dylan has his 1st soccer game of the season at 8am tomorrow, I went and picked them up around 10:30. The boys had so much fun and it didn't take long for them to crash.

Labor Day Weekend 2008

We had a wonderful holiday weekend. As soon as we picked up Dylan from school Friday afternoon, we headed out. Saturday we floated down the river in our new canoe. Dylan found a new friend, Mr. Turtle (yet to be named) and had a wonderful time on his 2nd canoe trip. Saturday night we did s'mores at a bonfire and Dylan was passed out by 8:30! Sunday we went down the river once again. Monday morning we packed up and headed home. We all had a wonderful time!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Tonight we celebrated Grandpa (Chris' dad)'s birthday. We surprised him by flying in "Aunt Becky" from Chicago. He was so shocked when he came to our house for his steak dinner and saw her here. We all had a great dinner and a great time visiting.

After everyone left we had to get ready for our big Labor Day Weekend trip to Spring River. We leave tomorrow!
