Games, Goats, and Girl talk

Saturday was my 32nd birthday. It happened to fall on Memorial Day weekend this year, creating an extra day in the weekend for celebrating. Right? Umm...not so much! Instead of telling you what we have been up to, I thought I would show you. (I will preface this by saying that since I wasn't going to be home all weekend, I got all of my birthday presents early...including a new camera - which I am obviously thoroughly enjoying!)

K1 had the state cup soccer tournament
in Broken Arrow this weekend.
I was able to get some great AIR shots!


This was the action on the sidelines (at times in the pouring rain)....at least K2 and K3 had friends here as well!


My bestest friend, J, lives in the area with her hubby and 5 wonderful children. We were able to make it a fun, full weekend (as if the soccer wasn't enough?!) by staying with them and hanging out between games. We always enjoy our time here and we never fail to find something to keep all of our children busy. They recently bought 5 baby goats (to match the number of children maybe?? haha!) so I took my city kids into the country life for a while. The little ones all loved the goats! K3 even named one K3, just like her (even though they are all males), because "this one is mine when I am here"!



We also went to great park they have here in Owasso.
One of the best parts of our visits up here is always the "girl talk" that J and I get to have. Sure we talk on the phone often, but it's just not the same! Each night, we got the kiddos all in settled in bed and left her hubby behind while she and I went out for a drive and some ice cream all by ourself! That's a big treat for us moms. We always manage to laugh so hard it hurts....and that is the BEST! I miss being around her often and always look forward to our girl time, where we pretend it's just us and there are no men and no kids...and that is nice for a few moments.
I love ya J....thanks for a great birthday weekend, as usual!
