Soccer Tourney

The weekend was great! We had a 3v3 soccer tournament where Mike played on TWO teams! Noone could believe he could do it, which made him work harder & prove them wrong; which he did. He played from 9:00 Saturday morning until 7:00 Saturday night in 85-90 degree weather with MAYBE an hour in between 1 or 2 of his 10 games! I was constantly filling up his water bottle, throwing him ice towels, walking from one field to the next & still trying to find time to catch a couple of Joey's games. It all paid off in the end, because Mike "brought home the gold" (as he likes to put it). He put his trophy on our mantle. I am letting him keep it there for a little while so he can bask in his glory, but it eventually needs to come down. ;) Afterwards, we went to a celebratory dinner with his parents at Ted's (my favorite restaurant) and went home to sleep, sleep, and then get MORE sleep. We slept until almost 9:30 Sunday morning and got up to clean house & go to a movie with our bests (Matt & Hilary) followed by Ted's...again. (It really is my favorite.) All in all, it was a great weekend.

Busy but Fun

This past weekend was packed with fun yet diverse activities. We started off the weekend by going out to see The Land of the Lost with my mom and hitting up Chik-Fil-A afterwards for a free sandwich (can't pass that up). It was Joey's last day of school, so I picked him up after getting off work early and we hung out for a while before he decided it was way cooler to hang out & play soccer with his friends.

Saturday, Mike & I woke up early to do some yard work. Trees were cut down, gutters were cleaned out, bushes were trimmed, flowers were planted, and I was watching. ;) I don't mind planting flowers & getting my hands dirty, but when climbing ladders & carrying big branches to the backyard is involved, I make up whatever excuse I can to get out of it; today it was cleaning house. I did clean up a bit, but there really wasn't much to clean, so I watched the boys get THEIR hands dirty & bruised.

A friend of the family graduated Friday, so his parents threw him a gradauation party Saturday night. We had a great time eating mexican food, hanging out with friends & enjoying the beautiful weather! We weren't able to stay the whole night like most, because we had a date planned with Mike's parents at the Punchline comedy club in Roswell to see Josh Sneed who was absolutely hilarious. Afterwards we hit up the Shoneys to get a hot fudge cake, which, unbeknownst to me, is apparently tradition in the Summers' household. We finally got to bed around 1:30 in the morning...that is late for Mike & I...(we're old).

Sunday was uneventful with more yard work that I helped with & soccer for the boys. Sunday night, Mike & I got to bed pretty early and watched a couple of episodes of Dexter which is our NEW favorite show! If you haven't watched...it's amazing!

This coming weekend should be fun as well with Joey & Mike playing in a soccer tournament & trying to fit in time to bring Rocky to the dog park which he has missed so much!
