A Fun Full Weekend

Between Melissa's boys and mine, there were a lot of activities planned for this weekend. My mom and dad came so they could catch each of the boys doing what they love.

First up was Mason and Braden's high school soccer games on Friday night. We had a great time watching those boys do what they love.

Mason and Braden's fan club!

Saturday morning we woke up and headed out to the Superintendent Fun Run. Camden has been asking to run a 5K for months now, however with the boys sports schedule, we were unable to find one that he could run in. Luckily our schedules allowed us to participate in this race which helps support scholarships for students in the Cy-Fair school district. We had the option of running a mile or a 5K and of course Camden wanted to run the 5K. So, if Camden is going to do something, then of course Casen is too. So I signed up our whole family to run a 5K.

Shane nor I were evenly remotely prepared to run a 5K at the pace Camden was ready to run, so I had him run with my friends Pam and Shana who run daily. He ended up running between them since Shana wasn't running fast enough for him and Pam was running a hair too fast for him. :)

Camden loved running with Shana and Pam

Casen did an awesome job and ended up running the vast majority of the race. I was super proud of both my boys.

A happy surprise at the end was both boys receiving medals for placing in the top three of their age brackets. Casen ended up in second place running his 5K in 39:33.8. (He apparently was beat out by a one year old who was pushed in a stroller.) Camden finished third in his age bracket finishing his race in 29:01.0. (He was beat out by two 9 year olds - so he was definitely pleased with his finish.)

Proud of their medals.

Aunt Melissa was there to congratulate
them as well.

Later that afternoon Casen had a baseball game, which he played great and his team won.

And what a better way to end a busy day than eating out our favorite Mexican restaurant with the whole family. Since mom's birthday is next week, we had to celebrate Ranchitos style with the sombrero and whipped cream. Unfortunately for Casen, Shawn told a small fib to the waiters that it was Casen's birthday as well so that they would put whipped cream on him, which he is terrified of. Bless his heart, he just about melted sitting there as they were singing to him.

The face of sadness mixed with disgust. 

Yummy whipped cream. 

Camden got in on the whipped cream action too.

The whole family then returned to our house where we again celebrated mom's birthday with ice cream cake and presents.

Today the boys sang on stage during church for Palm Sunday, which was such a treat. The kids sounded precious singing 'Happy Day' and 'Lion and the Lamb'.

Finally, this afternoon we got to watch Camden doing what he loves - play soccer. It was a beautiful day and he had a great game.

Such a fun weekend with family. I treasure these times and always look forward to them.
