2012 FOOTBALL- Westlake Thunder

Braiden had an excellent season with the 8th grade Westlake Thunder A team 

 last year.

He made some great friends and learned a lot from his coach who is a retired NFL football player.  

I always have mixed emotions when football season begins and ends.  I love seeing my son have fun doing something he loves but its a dang LOT of work, for him and ME but I am so proud of him and his desire to succeed. 

Seattle 2012 (Best trip EVER!)

September 2012, I made my way to the beautiful Pacific North West to visit my bestest friends in the whole world.  Its just a perk that they both live in awesome places. 

The first day I got there, Tamara and I wandered Seattle, doin the tourist thing...why not?

I just love Pikes Market.  If I lived in Seattle, I would be there everyday.  Its such a neat place.

We came back a couple days later to do even more touristy stuff...can you say Quack??

 Then we made our way down to Portland, OR to visit Carrie (our other 3rd).  We hung out and just played catch up for all the girls nights we have missed in the last 3 years while the kids played in the bounce house (yes that is a bounce house in the house).

You know you are best friends when you don't see each other for months or even years and we pick right back up like no time has passed at all.  

I love these ladies.  Cant wait for next time.
