Soccer Time

I know, I know...it's been a long time since I have blogged. I've had a very hard time adjusting to going back to work after being off all summer. It's been hard not having Michael around. And Jacob has a very busy schedule. Michael hasn't been home since Labor Day weekend. He is busy as well with his college life. Soooo...what's been going on? It's soccer season! We played soccer all weekend..perfect weather...here are a few pictures of Jacob from the week-end...

College Soccer

Michael is on an intramural soccer team at college. Him and some of the local boys who are REALLY good. They hadn't lost any games-- until tonight! It was the finals. :(
Roger and I made a flying trip to Fayetteville Monday night to take Michael some video that he didn't think that he needed for a project, but ended up needing. When we got to Fayetteville at 7:30 they were at half time of the soccer game. So we got to watch the second half (20 minutes). The game went into over time and they had to do a shoot out.

Michael made the winning goal of the shoot out! We were the ONLY parents at the game! But we couldn't help but yell and cheer for them. Man, we love our soccer! And we sure did enjoy seeing Michael on the soccer field again...even if we only did get to watch him for 20 minutes.

Weekend of Soccer!

We had a gorgeous weekend of soccer. The weather could not have been more perfect for soccer. We went to North Little Rock to Burns Park to play in the Fallfest Tournament. It was suppose to have been last weekend, but the rain forced it to this weekend. We have been playing in the tournament for as long as I can remember. Michael started playing in it years ago, then it became to the point where they BOTH played in it, now it is just Jacob playing in it. Jacob was so young when Michael was playing that he use to have to "trick or treat" down there, because many times it would actually fall on Halloween! Our weekend games were not so good to us. We played two games Saturday and one game Sunday. We lost all 3! Two games were good, close games. The boys played their little hearts out, played on a field much bigger than they are use to. These are great memories they are building. Not only are they a team, they are friends. Great group of boys! Great group of parents! The parents are the ones that make it all possible.

When I first saw this picture appear on my computer screen, it took my breath away. He looks so much like Michael!!!

And he really looks like Michael here! STOP growing!

Michael did drive down from Fayetteville and joined us. We sure did enjoy spending the weekend with him. Jacob LOVED that his older brother came to watch him!

We had lunch with Michael in Conway. Then to Wal Mart to pick up some necessary college essentials. Then we each headed our different directions. That was sad! But I sure did have a lovely weekend with my three favorite guys!
