Marching Band and Polo

We had a fun busy week!  David had his Cougar Fun Run this week. The weather was great!  I made a fun little sign to cheer him on and we had fun together - plus I brought some treats and snacks for after school that day. David did a great job and was super tired after! 

Evelyn is in the middle of marching band competition season.  So her weeknights are full of practices and her Saturdays are competition days where she is gone from morning until late at night. 

We had a fun scrimmage at the MAC on Saturday.  It was a fun time and I actually played pretty well, so that was awesome!  After, we headed to a local place for drinks and food and chat.  It was a great weekend!!  

Golden Birthday

This beautiful amazing girl turned Sweet 16.  She went and did her driver's test and passed and got her license the next day!  We had a fun quick little celebration between band and water polo and everything else going on!  She wanted Chicken and Sundried Tomato pasta for her dinner and an ice cream cake for her cake! 

Weeks are busy and crazy with all the kids various activities.  The girls Tigard tournament was this weekend and the girls did an amazing job and took first place in the tournament!  It was a fun way to work into the season!  

Evelyn also had her Encore Retreat this weekend - as always it was an awesome experience, and she is excited for this season of music! 

This silly little goofball!  Evelyn braided his hair for him and it looked so funny!  

Birthday.....

We had a busy week this week!  We had a team dinner and a game against Hillsboro.  The girls lost, but the boys won.  The girls game was pretty close though.  

Evelyn is busy with Marching Band stuff. Practices and getting ready for competition season.  

This Friday and Saturday, the boys went to the Tigard Tournament.  Joey wasn't able to make it and Lawson could only make some of the games, so they were stuck with me for a lot of the tournament, but they did an amazing job!  We set up the tent in the back of the pool area with chairs and tables and food and soccer balls and volleyballs and hung out there most of the day.  A bunch of the girls came to watch and cheer for the boys and we all had a fun time hanging out together between games.  The boys played well and won all their games taking first place in the tournament!!

Sunday was my birthday.  I got spoiled by an amazing husband and kids and some amazing friends and even a couple of my water polo players stopped by with some birthday treats! 

September Starts

For Labor day, we went down to Sandi's house for a fun little party.  By "we" I mean me and David....  Evelyn had other stuff going on and the older boys decided not to come.  David and I had a blast.  There was a bouncy house with water and sliding and lots of fun and lots of yummy food and snow cones!  I asked Sandi if I could invite Nicole and Paxon and Payton.  She said yes, so we all had a great time together hanging out and eating and chatting and playing around!   

Dan was still gone dropping Anna off.  He had driven her out to Utah and stayed a couple days with Paul and Candace and did some skydiving.  He got back Thursday. 

Wednesday, I hosted a team dinner at our house.  I did the typical pasta night with all sorts of pasta and food.  The turnout was good.  It was kind of funny how little the boys and girls mingled.  The boys mostly hung out together outside and the girls mostly hung out together inside.   There was a little mingling between the Aaron and some of the Mountainside girls, but mostly they stayed separate.  

We had our first game against Tigard on Thursday.  We beat both teams, but mostly we had a fun time and - our girls and the Tigard girls all got along really well.  :)  

The rest of the week was pretty typical.  School, water polo, marching band, friends.  

Saturday was fun - Parkrose water polo and Open Polo in the evening.  

Sunday was wonderful and quiet - family and games and food and fun!
