A little Reunion



Back in March, we made a family trip to San Angelo for the Annual Women's Alumni Soccer Game. I had never been able to attend before due to pregnancies and other big family plans, so I was looking forward to the reunion and a nice family trip. The game was fun... but let me tell you, one can weigh the same they weighed in college and maybe even be close to the same size, but after three kids and years of yoga and pilates, there is a MAJOR difference between being in "shape" and being in "soccer shape." Let's just say I'm glad there isn't video of my soccer skills that could definitely use a tune up!

  
This is how the oldies "warm up"





My little fans!


The Alumni

Alumni with current team (my kids insisted on being the picture and it was that or listen to them scream!)

Some of us girls at the dinner that night

We were able to make this trip into a great family weekend... one that I didn't take NEAR enough pictures of! Jeff's aunt and uncle live in Bronte (just 30 minutes from San Angelo) and we stayed with them... something the kids LOVED! They had enough room for our whole crew of 5, including Jeff's cousins, his parents, and his sister! What a great time we had! 

The boys LOVED the SHEEP!



This boy LOVED the red dirt and the wind didn't bother him one bit... out there every day in his jammies before I even woke up. Gotta love STAIN REMOVER!



This is Ryan "calling" the sheep... they weren't very good listeners!

Oh, how I wish my boys had this kind of space around our home to just run free like this every day! They love it... I love it... it brings about a lot of laundry, but very good nappers! 

We also spent an entire afternoon/evening with two of my best college friends and their kiddos... and, you won't believe this, but NEITHER of us took even ONE picture of all of our boys together for the first time EVER! I KNOW!!! HORRIBLE!!! So embarrassed, beat myself up mentally for it for days... but then had to let it go and just put a little blurb here to let you all know how crazy silly I was. But, in my defense... there were THREE of us there... and not ONE took out their camera! Humiliating, really, but I can assure you, next time I see them, I'll probably go camera crazy! Love you girls!

Thank you to Benny and Jackie for so willingly opening their home to us and our crew and making us feel so at home. They even helped babysit so Jeff and I could go out to dinner with some of the players that Saturday night. We are so blessed to have such loving extended family! Love and miss you all and looking forward to family reunion this summer!

Ryan's favorite pal that week was for sure Aunt Jackie!
