Stake Soccer Tournament

Today we had our Stake Soccer Tournament. I think it was the hottest day all year! The tournament is usually up in Memphis, but today, for the 1st time, we held it in Senatobia. Which was GREAT! For the past 4 years, we've only lost 4 games ~ one per year. Last year, we lost the tournament in penalty kicks. Senatobia is the team to beat! Mark usually plays goalie. He hates it. Today, he was able to play some up front, but mostly stayed in the goal. He saved a lot of goals. Today, we lost, tied, & won 2.





The boys & Cecelia got real tired & hot towards the end of the day. We were on the fields at 7:30 this morning. Cecelia missed 2 of her naps, so, she fell asleep before we got home, (we were only a few minutes from the house!). Now that we are home, everyone's sunburned & exhausted! The boys didn't want me to put sunscreen on them. I think they regret it now.

School's Out

Well, my headache has begun! LOL School is officially out; today's the first day of summer break. I woke up with a bad headache. :) Yesterday, Jay & Tate finished their finals. Jay & Tate made A's on their exams; all except one for Tate. (On the father & son's campout, Tate got a tick in his belly button . It got swollen & was really itching. It distracted him on his 1st exam. He didn't do so good. He told me he didn't want to talk about it.)
Jay had a friend spend the night~the first of many nights. Also, I'm babysitting a 3 year old. So, we've got a full house! Phew!
Austin got his report card already. His final averages for the year were 99, 99, 96, & 99. He was so excited! He's been referred by his teacher to be tested this summer to be in the gifted class. Jay & Tate are already in the program. They love it. I think they like missing their normal classes to go to gifted. It's good opportunities for them. Jay & Tate's report card will be mailed to me later. Jay ended on the Scholar's List (all A's) & Tate on the Honor Roll (A's & B's). We are really proud of them!
When the boys got home yesterday, they asked if the pool was open. That's what they live for~to go swim. It's not hot enough just yet. I can't wait to have it up & running. They can get up, do chores & spend the rest of the day in the pool! Yeah! I know Cecelia's going to want to be with, too.
Even though it's a headache, I'm looking forward to this summer. We can't wait to get to Utah & Yellowstone! It's going to be a great summer!

Father & Son Camp-out results

Well, the guys made it back from camping. On the drive home, Tate & Jay were texting me how it was. Mark was miserable ~ slept on roots! Jay said he got cold & woke up around 3am. Tate said it was, "GOOD!" Austin had a great time, too. Tate had really bad gas, so he kept everyone entertained. Their neighbor tent had a 5 yr. old singing his heart out all night! Breakfast was pancakes & sausage. They said the sausage smelled like fish when it was cooking. So, on their way home they stopped off for doughnuts! Needless to say, they will be glad to sleep in their warm, soft beds tonight. The kids had a lot of fun. Jay & Tate have camped in the backyard, this was the first they all camped together. We want to camp as a family before it gets too hot!

Father-Son Campout

This weekend is the Father & Son's camp-out. The boys are SO excited! Mark got home from work & loaded them all up. He has a friend & his 2 sons going, too. Halfway to the camp site, he calls. He asked me to check & see if he forgot the food ~ yup! The snacks, food & drinks are all at home. His first camping trip with the boys is starting off great! :) I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.

I've done it...

Well, I didn't want to be the only one without a blog, so here's goes nothing. I'll work on it this weekend & hopefully I can get it done. Looking forward to hearing from ya'll! Hope ya enjoy!
