It's been too long!

As I've said in earlier posts, i'm not very good at this blogging thing.  Sorry it's taken so long to post something.  On the positive side, all is well.  Ben is 11 and is such a great kid.  he's respectable, intelligent, athletic, and just fun to be around.  He will be going into 6th grade this year (time flies!). And has decided to focus strictly on soccer moving forward.  He's the captain of his team, plays center mid, and they won the state championship for the top league this past season.  He's just starting to have interest in the opposite sex and he has a cell phone.  The texts are non-stop! They are also funny to read.  So far this has been his best summer ever!

Jack is 8 and is also a great kid.  Always happy but likes to do what he wants when he wants. Which obviously doesn't work with Katie and I so it can be a challenge.  other than that he's great!  right now he's playing baseball, lax, soccer, and swim team.  it's WAY too many sports but he doesn't want to quit any of them.  I think his best sport is probably baseball.  He can really hit it and his pitching is OK too.  Not a lot to complain about right now.

Katie is great.  The summer is always the hardest for her because the kids are around all day, but she does a great job with everything.  She recently partially tore her calf muscle playing tennis which was a bummer but she's working through it.  Still works out two to three times a week which is great.

We are headed to the Outer Banks in two weeks and it's a much needed vacation.  I just passed my 9th year with Exclusive Resorts and I need a break.  It's a great company but 9 years in any sales position is a long time.  I'm now the VP of Sales for ER and have 8 people working for me.  overall, they are great.  Love the team and the attitude each member brings.  All in all things are good.  I could complain about the little things but why?

Hopefully, I'll post some things sooner rather than later but don't hold your breath.

Have a great summer and I'll see you soon!

Happy New Year!

2011 was a good year for the Smith Family. Everyone is doing well. Ben's getting to an age where we can have full conversations with him and his banter is becoming hilarious! Jack is a great kid with A LOT of energy. But it's all good. It's amazing how quickly they grow up. They are about to turn 10 & 7 respectively and I'm proud of both of them.

Katie is doing great as well. Life's not easy keeping up with the boys but she does a great job. All in all there's nothing to complain about. I'm a lucky man with a great job and a great family.

Hopefully I'll be back sooner than every 6 months.

All the best,

SS

It's been awhile

Well, it's been awhile since my last post. I'm not very good at this blogging thing.

Life is great! I'm a very lucky man. I have a beautiful and understanding wife and 2 great kids. It's basketball season now and it's a lot of fun to watch Jack play in his first season. He's got the best facial expressions while playing. You'll see his happy face and his intense face, very rarely do we see his sad face. He just loves life and enjoys everything. Ben is enjoying the season as well. We are playing in a less competitive league this year because Ben doesn't really care about bball. Unfortunately, he's still really intense about the games and gets upset if the ref doesn't call fouls against him when they should. Katie's been playing a lot of tennis and is really enjoying it. Her and Julie are a great pair. As for me, I just pulled my groin last night in hockey. Felt a pop in the 3rd period and I'm having a hard time moving around today. Hopefully, I'll be back on the ice before you know it.

I wish everyone a great day and hopefully I'll post something soon.

Memorial Day Weekend

What a great weekend! I got to play with the kids in the pool for a few hours on Friday. Went to the Rockies game in the evening with friends. Hung out with the family on Saturday, watched Katie play in mixed doubles tennis tournament. Got to golf on Monday morning then headed up to Mom's for dinner. Very busy, but worth every minute.

Have a great week!

Great Weekend - 4/10/10

Had a great weekend with the kids. Weather was fantastic! Ben played in 2 soccer games over the weekend and a lacrosse game. He's a very special athlete. Has the ability to slow the game down and basically control the ball. I really enjoy watching him play. Scored 3 goals in the first half then had to go to lax game. He had a great lax game as well with 3 assts but didn't score. Had a chance at the end but missed a breakaway and that ruined his day. I wish there was a way I could help him become more positive! He doesn't realize how good he really is.

Jack had 2 soccer games as well. He's 5 and they are playing 6 year olds, which is a big difference at that age. We are working on Jack giving "1003%" ! which is funny. Not as focused as Ben but a very good athlete. he won both games 10-1 & 10-6. i think he scored 5 in each.

Looking forward to some more entertaining games this week and will keep trying to come up with ways to help Ben with his negativity.

Spring Break

Well it's Spring Break and we're headed down to Waco to see my Dad. The kids are very excited to see Papa and Nina. We got about a foot of snow yesterday so we are hoping our flight isn't delayed. The kids are great. Ben is starting Lax season which is always fun and Jack is starting soccer season. Should be interesting for Jack as he'll be playing against 6 year olds. It was Ben's Bday on Feb. 27th and Jack's on March 12th. Both kids are ridiculously spoiled by his parents and grandparents. lots of toys, video games, and parties. Life is good.
