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.

Vail Soccer Tourney

We had a great weekend in Vail. The weather was perfect and the soccer was exciting. Ben's team won the tourney but it wasn't easy. They were the #1 seed heading into Sunday but their semi-final game was not easy. They played a team from Mexico and were down 4-1 after the first half. They came back to tie it up and Ben won the game with 2 seconds to play!! (very stressfull) So on to the finals. We played the Hail Storm and they have a player, Danny #10, who is very good. We actually tied them in our first game with them. So again we start off slow and are down 3-0 early. we slowly come back and are down 4-3 with a minute to go. After hitting a post or two there are 10 secs remaining and again Ben hits the post, this time Joe was there for the rebound and tied it up. Overtime. It wasn't looking very good as #10 had 2 shots on goal. Ben stopped one and the other went wide. Then after about a minute in to overtime Ben stole the ball from their sweeper, dribbled down and scored the winning goal to win the tournament!!!! All the players jumped on Ben and everyone was screaming and cheering for the team. My favorite part was when Ben came up to me, hugged me, and started crying in my arms. Very cool moment that I won't forget for a long time.
