Color Run 5K

I have been sick the past 2 weeks and my running hasn't been happening very much...I did run 3 miles on Tuesday and it wasn't easy because I couldn't breathe well...But I really wanted to sign up for the MSU Color Run last night...I'm glad I did...It was such pretty weather...Perfect for running but chilly when you got through...There were no chips for time...You just ran 3.1 miles and got sprayed with powdered paint the whole time...I did wash without treating my shirt and you can still see some of it on there...But I wore a crappy white tank knowing I wouldn't care if I threw it away...I had fun and would do it again...

Fire Station Field Trip

Kresee's class had a field trip to the Fire Station today....She just loves when I show up to walk with them...And she was very excited to visit the firemen:)

We've been lucky that the weather has been so mild since they have a few walking field trips in Oct/Nov/December

Coyotes--Fall 2012

We finished up the Fall soccer season yesterday with a win....The boys actually played like we were used to seeing them play...Passing the ball and going after it...Shooting...You know, things you are supposed to do in soccer...They won 4-0 which was awesome since we were on a 5 game losing streak...We finished 5-5 for the season...Our worst record yet, but I'll take it...Because this was a GREAT group of boys...Ones I hope that we continue to have season after season...And the parents are wonderful as well...They let Kerry and I do our own thing and they don't ever get in the way at all...

 Kohen finished with 3 goals on the season...Pretty good for him since we really rely on him to play defender most of the time...He was probably our best kicker this year and we continue to be really proud of him....I hope he plays soccer for a long time because I think he has a great future in this sport:)

Ben Franklin JV Lions

Well we ended up on a disappointing note to finish off the football season...We just needed to win this game this morning to head to the Toy Bowl next Saturday...But we fell short 18-13....We didn't really show up the 1st half and let them get ahead 18-6...We played great the 2nd half but just couldn't get it into the end zone before the clock expired and we were on the 7 yd line about to score...It was the most heart-breaking thing but man they did have a great season...How can you go wrong with being the JV West Champions at 7-0...Winning one playoff game...Making it to the 2nd round and finishing the year 8-1....

 It was soooooo windy we had to have someone hold the ball for kickoffs....

 The poor coaches and kids were so disappointed....Kohen learned a lot this season about football though...I'm glad he tried it...The whole season he has said he won't play next year...But the last 2 weeks, he says he wants to....So I guess we will see come next year....

All I know is that we started back in the middle of August practicing 3 nights a week for 2-2 1/2 hours at a time...That got moved to twice weekly...Then practices consistently were 1 1/2-2 hrs....On top of soccer practice once weekly, Kresee's gymnastics once weekly...Then soccer and football games every Saturday, I'm one exhausted momma for doing this for 3 months straight....Yes I would have survived one more week to make it to the Toy Bowl but that's part of it...Now onto basketball---practice starts Wednesday:)

Playoff Game #1

The Lions finished their regular season 7-0 and made it to the 1st round of playoffs...Today we played the Chargers, who we only beat 13-12 earlier in the season, at the lovely time of 8am...Man, these games are hard...We are getting up earlier on a Saturday morning than a normal school day because we have to be on the field at 7:20...It was a good day because we won 19-6..The boys played well and we are excited for round #2 next weekend... 

Kerry has been running the chains or hold the down marker for many of the games this season:)

Sweet, sweet boy

How can my heart not smile when I look at this sweet boy....He is so stinking cute and I just love every part of him...He is getting so big and isn't so little anymore...Yes, he is tiny compared to the other football players and kids in his class but he is growing everyday....He weighed in the 2nd to smallest one on the team...He beat a kid out by 2 lbs weighing only 43 lbs...But he sure makes a cute football player...

 And I'm in love with his sweet 1st grade school picture...Just adorable...6 years old and I just wish he would stop growing:(

Halloween 2012

Last night was such a pretty night to go Trick-or-Treating...This weather is so warm and we enjoyed not being cold:)...We went over to Meme and Big Papa's house to see them with the cousins before we ventured out into our terrible neighborhood....It gets worse every year...I begged Kohen to go to one of the churches to do the carnivals but he was so upset thinking he wouldn't get to Trick-or-Treat with Jaxson...So next year, I'm not giving them an option....Kerry got his flu shot on Monday and wasn't feeling well at all with the side effects so we were home and done by 7:30 which wasn't bad considering it was a school night anyways:)
