Woo hoo!!!

What an incredible couple of days. First off, my numba one son's team won the State Championship last night in the AA/A division of soccer by defeating Dublin 3-1. You can read all about it here!

Second, my darling wife came in first in her division, at the Inaugural Women's Tri the Parks race this weekend, with a time of 2:09 and some change (600 meter swim, 13 mile bike, 3 mile run). Here is a picture of Dee Dee hanging out with her new BFF Carole Sharpless. (I'm trying to get her to write a race report :-)


I'll give y'all the long version of all this stuff later if Dee Dee declines to write a race report.

Numba two son Matthew won his soccer game today! Woot! Way to go Matthew!! He got moved up to the second team for this one and we were excited for him.

What did I do this weekend? Nada :-) Let's see. I bought all my Mother's (My mom, Dee Dee's mom, Dee Dee) flowers for Mother's Day. I bought Dee Dee that HAWT new Zoot tri suit for mama's day. I ran 45 minutes at a 10:26 pace, and I'm thinking about doing a 1:30 hour bike ride at the Silver Comet tomorrow. Oh, and I sherpaed the champion to victory in the Athena Masters division (she's getting old ;-)

Alrighty then... I'd love to stay and chat. But I gots to take the spousal unit out to dinner. I got soccer games to ref tomorrow, so tonights the night!!

Happy Mother's Day all you sweet wonderful Moms out there!!!

Juls said...

I don't know Wes...
I think the wife's accomplishment, being that it is Mother's Day weekend and all, should be "first." Then you can list your numbas next.

I just couldn't resist. Now enjoy basking in your family's success.

Brian said...

Looks like you have some pressure to perform @ 70.3 bubba.

Ryan said...

Buying your wife a "hawt" new tri suit is as bad as me buying mine some "spicy" lingerie.

We are so smart, we should be Kings of the World!!!!!!!

teacherwoman said...
