Soccer is in Season

The soccer season began tonight for Cooper.  He had played a little in pre-school, but wanted to try it out for real.  He did so well to have never played before.  I wish I was one of those people who can publish a few pictures and be satisfied, but I'm not...so prepare yourself for an abundance of pictures!

a kick and a miss!

so handsome

they had to kick the ball around the field and kick over a cone.  Once they kicked the cone, they were to dribble back to the start line and place the cone there.

Cooper is going to do so well this season.  I can't wait to watch him learn!

This morning, Greg and I competed in, completed a 6k run/walk to benefit the East TN Kidney Foundation.  My company was one of the sponsors of the race and paid all of our entry fees.  Our team had the largest contingent at 122 runners.  Greg and I had a goal to finish under an hour and we did it!

Girl Scout Cookie Time

Reagan worked her first booth of the cookie season this afternoon.  She has done a great job selling cookies!

After the cookie booth, Greg had a very special evening planned for the two of them.  Chick-Fil-A was having their annual daddy/daughter date night, so Greg made reservations for him and Reagan.  He said they had the tables nicely decorated and had waitresses to come and take their orders.  They had a great time, even if I didn't get to take pictures of them!  They did have their photo made, but we wont have it for a couple of weeks!

While Greg and Reagan were out to dinner, Cooper and I had our own date.  He chose IHOP!  

we had lots of fun!!!
