So much fun!!

WOW!! 2ND PLACE!! It's was a great weekend of soccer in Orlando. We got there on Thursday and enjoyed the afternoon at the resort hotel with the other players and families. We had two games on Fri and two on Saturday and the boys won them all. It was wonderful because both days we were done by 11am and we had the rest of the day to relax by the pool or do whatever we wanted. The boys loved it! We loved it too because the resort had happy hour 5-7pm everyday with FREE snacks and FREE drinks (yes even alcohol). It really was happy hour! ha! So after the games on Saturday all the teams were then subdivided into divisions based on your scores. We were put into the highest gold division and ranked 2nd overall going into the finals on Sunday. We got a buy straight into the semifinals. The game was tough but the boys really stepped up and we ended up winning with a pretty good margin. So next was FINALS!!  The boys did their best but the team was really good. It was the overall 1st place ranked team that we ended up against in the finals. We did lose the game, but the boys played hard but were still smiling with their big 2nd place trophy!! It was a great weekend!! So proud of all of them! 

It was great to see cousin Lenny also! He came out for multiple games and helped to cheer on Bry and his team. Bry was so thrilled to have him come watch the games.

We always love a chance to see family! I can't believe how tall the boys are getting. Len is tall and the boys are catching him! I'm not sure if they will make it all the way to his height, but wow...they sure are getting there!

The boys were also happy to get a chance to see LJ. They loved talking to him about his size 14 shoe!! Wowzer!! I still can't believe this guy was the ring bearer in our wedding....time sure has gone by and this young man has grown up for sure!!

We got a chance to visit Downtown Disney or by the new name Disney Springs. They have added a lot of new restaurants and stores. I'm not so sure I'm liking the new things, but we will go with it for now. We had to stop at our traditional photo op spot. It so happens we have taken a picture with this statue every year since 2008. We only missed one year...boo..and we were actually at Disney that year but for some reason didn't make it downtown for our picture. This was the first year 2008.

And now in 2016. I love seeing how the boys have grown over the years!

I did like the new "Springs" water they added to the area though. It was very pretty in person!

I made Dev take a picture at the lefty store..haha.. and of course my lefty is holding the sign with his right hand....too funny!!

Yesterday during our walk yesterday the boys and I saw the armadillo again. This time we were pretty close to him. I have to say it was creepy. He didn't see at all phased by us being nearby and went about his business. At one point he actually started towards us to cross the road, I almost started to run and scream...haha...I didn't but I was very close...yuk!

I took the boys to the soccer field to work on some cardio and soccer drills. Uh...yeah, I'm the only one all red faced! It was so hot, but we had fun. The boys kept telling me that I was doing real good! yippee! :-)

Trying to get back into my workout/running routine. I have been a total slacker since we got back from Hawaii. I thought summer would be a great time to get a good workout routine together since my work hours were less. It didn't quite work out that way. Oh well, with school starting next week we will all be able to get back into a routine and I can get back on track. Disney half marathon is in January! My friend Tami is joining me and my friend Denise is doing the full marathon. Denise was supposed to do the full marathon with me this past January but she had to defer to this upcoming year. I did the full by myself, but I wanted to come back and support her when she does the full. So I figured, why  not sign up and run while I'm there! yay...love Disney races, they are so fun!! 

Going out for a girls night out this coming Saturday. We are going to see the movie Bad Moms. I'm not really expecting the movie to be that great, but I am looking forward to dinner and a movie with the girls!

The countdown is on....5 days till school starts!!!!

Oh, and the birds have flown the nest, or something like that! I decided to check the nest yesterday and the birds are gone! What?! It hasn't been that long and I never saw the baby birds. I'm not sure if the eggs got eaten by a predator? or did they really hatch, grow and leave the nest that fast? I don't know, but I do know that now this weekend we will be cutting the tree down. It should be interesting...the tree isn't that big but we don't normally cut trees down so we will see how it goes.

My two cents: by the way I think that JoJo totally picked the wrong guy on Bachelorette. It seems like they tend to pick who they think other people might want and not who they really want. She didn't have any doubts about Robbie and tons and tons of doubts about Jordan and she picked Jordan? That doesn't make sense, but then again it's part of a crazy reality show so what do you expect? Oh well, just my thoughts.

Well happy Friday tomorrow to everyone!
