LATE NIGHT BLOGGING

It's late on a Friday night and I am baking cookies.  This is such an odd thing for me to be doing when it is supposed to be my bedtime.  I guess I'll do just about anything for my kids.  Tomorrow is the annual soccer fund raiser for Ammon's team.  The cookies I am baking are for the bake sale.  Since I am a working/soccer mom the only time I have to bake cookies is...now.

I really like baking cookies.  I'm sure that in my next life I will have a Cookie Cottage.  It will be on a tropical beach.  I will bake in my tank top and shorts with an aloha apron for the effect.  Did you ever see the movie Stranger Than Fiction?  I want to be her. 

Downstairs there is a slumber party happening.  Asa and Hamilton have friends over.  I think I heard the sounds of a Fifa 10 tournament, hide and seek and now they are playing soccer in the hallway downstairs.  It's long and perfect for a straight on goal.  I think they are actually bouncing the ball off the walls though.  It's a Size 1 ball so I guess I'm okay with it.  

I just realized that everything I have just typed can go in my letter to Isaac.  In case you haven't noticed, my blog entries seem to be few and far between these days.  That's because most of my life is written in letters to Isaac.  You can read all about his adventures by clicking here.

The timer is beeping.  Warm cookies await...

SATURDAY SOCCER

Rakai is home!  I went to Vegas on Tuesday and picked him up.  He was at the curb waiting but I didn't see him.  I parked.  As I walked across the road I saw him move towards me.  We embraced and he said, "I missed you most of all."  Oh how I love my children.  It is best when they are all safely home.  But life has it's cycle and I'm afraid that the moments when we are all together will be few and far between.

If you're looking for us on a Saturday in the spring you will find us at the soccer field.  This day was beautiful.  Rakai is enjoying the warmth of the sun while Ammon uses him for a head rest.

Life seems to be crashing in around me at the moment.  My greatest pleasure is in my children.  If not for them I'm not sure there would be much to live for.  They are my life line.

UTAH SUMMER GAMES

Some might wonder how I could spend four days chasing 18 soccer games with my boys. I have to say that it is an absolute delight.

The boys have been competing in the summer games for more than 10 years. It has become a family tradition. The last couple of years have been most thrilling with 4 boys on 4 different teams. We just run from one game to the next and in between we settle on the sideline with a picnic.

Lessons from soccer...teamwork...tolerance...skill...patience...exhaustion...pain...
perseverance...longevity...unity...
