August 2015

August was another busy month spent trying to soak up as much of our summer break as possible.


I was able to get the soccer doofs out to our fields to take the annual soccer photo. This is the third one of the boys.

The first one was a cell phone photo taken in a dorm room when we dropped them off for soccer camp at UNC summer 2013.

The first week of August, Emma started her first soccer camp. We picked all of her new soccer gear and she is ready.

She is number 84.  She did not get to choose her #, but she likes it.

The second weekend, we went to the beach for 3 nights.  The rain started on the way down, and it pretty much rained off and on the whole time.  We tried to make the most out of it though.  Brendan stayed home to play baseball so Jackson took a friend.

The first morning there was beautiful, but it started raining at lunch and didn't stop.

We did go out to dinner in Morehead City one night.  It was delicious!

We were home in time to hit the beach for about an hour since it actually cleared up for a while.

On a random Thursday night, JC arranged for us to go to Chapel Hill for the night.  We had an amazing time on Franklin Street just walking around and having dinner.



This is the church we were married in ~ 1998.









Jackson's soccer team won their first tournament of the new soccer year!



One of my friends made the cutest door hangers for our sports players.





Jackson and Brendan took SCUBA lessons and got certified!!!



Then it was time for back to school.  Brendan started his freshman year of high school this year.  Where has the time gone?  Jackson is in the 7th grade, and Emma is in the 2nd grade.



Emma's soccer team got to practice on the football field at WFU!  Pretty cool experience.



Brendan went to his first high school football game as a student.  It was Hawaiian night!



All in all August was a great month.  It's always hard going back to school and trying to adjust to homework and sports practices.
