25 days and counting

There are only 25 more school days for me. 20 for the boys and graduation for Derek is less than a month away. Senior pictures are scheduled and announcements will be sent shortly thereafter.  This year has been miserable, full of memories, boring, fun, full of sporting events, etc. It all depends on who you talk to.

Track and Soccer

Derek and Tyler were all set to participate in both track and soccer this year. We went shopiing in a snow storm to get cleats and spike shoes.

Then it started in February, it was cold, they were practicing in  the cold, and Derek sprained his ankle during a Thursday night basketball.  he could barely walk on it for a few days. He missed practices. probably rushed it some and during track practice about 2 weeks later, hurt it again when he was told to run some hurdles....again. So he quit going to track practices and finally told me he was done. He still wanted to play soccer, but no more track. I was sorely disappointed.  Now he has a job after school at a Nursery so he is missing soccer practices. I hope they will let him play. May I just say this has not been Derek's year.  He is so glad to be done. College can't come fast enough for him.

Tyler on the other hand is loving both track and soccer. He is running the 800m, 400m, 4x400m, and whatever else he can. He just participated in his first Invitational last week at Manti. That's pretty cool for a freshman. He is currently running a 2:18 800m which is better than last year at the Hershey Track State Meet.

Our school still doesn't have a full fledged soccer team, so the school allowed a club similar to last year. over 30 boys came out. They are playing against schools who need a scrimmage game. The schedule is not set, but its fun for them. the coaches are all volunteer, but they are allowing a bus to take them to games.

Spring Break 2013

A friend from work invited a bunch of us to her family's beach house in Aptos, CA near San Francisco. I took Jeremy and Cameron with me and we had a blast. The rest of the family stayed home to work or do track stuff.  half of my pictures are on my new phone, so those will come soon.
