My Weekend

It was one of those weekends when all three kids had to be in different places at the same time.  Two of the kids had to be in different states.  And of course, Steve was working.  To be fair, he is taking next weekend off so he can go with us to Megan's soccer game.

Megan traveled to Washington again for a soccer game.  I can not sing the praises of her wonderful coaches enough.  They packed up my child again and lugged her to the game with them.  I swear this is the last weekend for that.  I will be making the rest of them.  They won their game 16 - 0.  And with lots of drama.  The referee finally called the game early to end the other teams misery.  I would normally agree however, in this league, to win first place they total up all the goals scored.  The most goals scored wins the league.  The referee not only called the game early but reduced the score to 12 - 0.  That could cost the girls the league title.  Last season La Grande tied for first place only to get second because of  total goals scored.  So you can see the controversy.

 Jason was in Idaho this weekend at a karate tournament. He is really improving.  He didn't think he would like it but as it turns out he does.  I am so used to sitting all day sometimes two at wrestling tournaments, that these are a breeze.  They put the kids in their groups and fight until they are done. It takes about 30 minutes tops.  We stayed a few more hours to watch the instructors fight.  We had 7 fighters and took home 6 trophy's.  Jason took home 2nd place.  I couldn't be more happy for him.

 The third kid stayed home to get ready for his senior prom. I rushed back from Idaho to be there to see him go.  He and Kagan came back to the house for this picture and so Steve could see them.  I can't believe we are a month away from graduation.  Yes, I shed a tear or two.
