Adam Ran 65 Miles!!!

So crazy!   He was going for the 100 again, but his legs were telling him 'nope' which is frustrating, because most people crack because they mentally can't handle it, that's totally not the case for him.  We're so proud of him, he's amazing!   We even got to see him mid run this time!  
We wanted to see him twice, but I had to get Ares to Columbus so he could spend the week with his grandparents, and Mom, Atlas and I went to see Newsies in Mansfield. (which was Ah-mazing!)

Thanks Color Street!  Bought this (well, not the Office and security part) with commissions from my first 30 days selling!

Summer 2018, what happened?!?

Whoa??!?!?  LIfe!  IS!  Crazy!   But in a really good way.


We went to the renaissance faire and ate a lot.

Drank a ton at Brew at the (Akron) Zoo with Betsy and Derek

 

 Turned 5 years old!!!

 Dyed our hair purple!  (Atlas went green, but it didn't keep)

 Competed in the 2nd annual beer mile (didn't win this time)

 Went golfing a few times

 Ran a 5K in 94* weather.  (Atlas and I did 1mile)

 ... and Ares won his age group!

 Even got along a little bit this summer  (VERY little bit)

 Went camping at The Lake inflatable bounce things

 

Acted Silly

Went to the tribe game!  (they won!!)

Played 3v3 soccer.  

(This had good and bad moments, we learned Ares gets panic attacks on this day)

Went to Jenna and Eric's wedding (and looked quite dapper)

and bought golf clubs!! 

March in Recap

How on earth can it have been a month already?   The speed at which these days go by now, is incredible.  We've finished soccer (A SUPER successful season - finishing 3rd overall in a few different leagues and tournaments), swim has continued for Atlas (who, can actually swim now, he just needs to learn how to breathe, the teacher hasn't shown him that yet), track has begun (Ares is pretty set to run the 1600, 800 and long jump - although, first meet isn't until next weekend). 
Ares turned 9!  (What!?!?!) and got a Nintendo Switch for his birthday.   His parents are the coolest, aren't they?!


These boys (yes, plural  now!  Atlas eats them too!)  put SO MANY jalepenos on their nachos and in their macaroni and cheese!  Crazy kids!

U-9 Streetsboro United played in the Upper Division after going undefeated in the Lower.
They got 3rd, I believe, and they allowed the least amount of goals in the whole league.  Go Defense!

RENT this month!  The singing was AMAZING, but I'm not sure I'd see it again

My favorite photo of Atlas thus far!



This is what Ares practiced in for Track. I couldnt' take a photo from the track, as my fingers were frozen, so I waited.  We couldn't see the kids on the other side of the track, when we were standing at the center of the football field.

Cavs Game - LeBron James' historic feat

The boy's first Cleveland Cavs game!   I bought tickets, finally.  I'm assuming LeBron will not be staying in Cleveland this time, and I feel like the boys need to see him at least once in their lives.   So why not now?!?! 


They were amazing, the boys had so much fun, cheered the whole game, chanted Defense each time the other team had the ball, (then changed it to offense when the Cavs got it, haha), screamed when the jumbo tron told them to scream.   Randomly, Atlas, with his tiny high pitched voice would yell "Go Cavaliers!!!"


The Cavs won, the boys got to see LeBron James play (only the greatest player in the world), and they even got to see LeBron become the first ever player to have 30,000 points AND 8,000 assists.


They also got along amazingly well.
