Another championship :)

When Jeff won his hockey championship back in June, I got a sudden urge to be part of a team sport again. That night, I went online and found a local co-ed soccer league.

I got put on a team of people who had never played together. Although we struggled at the beginning of the season, the team was full of great people and we all came together in the end. After a marathon playoff day of 3 games (two decided by PK's), our eighth-seeded team advanced to the championship and won. It was great to be part of a team again. Ty's looking forward to the day when the travelling trophy comes to our house!

Fall fun

A couple of weeks ago, Tyler, Megan, our neighbor, and I went to Cox Farms' fall festival. Just like last year, it was alot of fun. Click the photo above for lots of action pictures from the giant slides, corn maze, and other fun attractions.

5th birthday party!

Yesterday Ty had a wonderful 5th birthday party with 6 of his friends. We had perfect weather for a trip back to dinosaur times. Everyone played well together and seemed to to have a good time. It's hard to believe our little boy will be 5 this Friday!

Road trip 2010

Last week we had a wonderful trip to see Granny and Grandpa and then Up North to see all of the Chernesky clan. Ty and Megan had a lot of fun with Granny and Grandpa, playing music, dancing, and playing with all of their toys. Up North, we had amazing weather and were able to do alot of swimming, tubing, and waterskiing. To view all of the pictures, click on the collage above. And enjoy the videos below :).

Humility?

Here's a conversation between me and Ty from a car ride today:

Tyler: "Mom, I'm really smart. I know half of everything."
Me (not understanding that he meant that he had acquired half of all existing knowledge): "Oh really, what's half of 10?"
Ty: "I don't know, but I know half of everything...when I get to heaven I'll know the other half."

First family golfing trip

Granny and Grandpa wanted to give Tyler his first real golf clubs and wanted him to be able to enjoy them for the entire summer, so Ty got an early birthday present. He loves them! This weekend, we got to test them out for the first time at a nearby driving range. Fun was had by all. Hopefully it will be the first of many golf outings for this foursome.

Happy 4th of July 2010

We had a great day last weekend going to the Fairfax parade and fireworks. Ty and Megan also had their first experience with sparklers and kid-friendly "fireworks." For pictures click here or if you need a laugh, watch the video below.
