Teenage Boys...

I LOVE MINE!!

I absolutely love having "young men" in our home.

I really do.

(most of the time)

They are good workers and very helpful around the house and camp.

(most of the time)

It is a joy for me to see them play and take care of their younger siblings.

I am truly enjoying this season of life - teenagers and babies

and everything in between.

Anyways....

my two teenage boys (that I am in love with) have been running cross country this year.

Last week was their region meet in Salt Lake.

The night before they had their Carbs Dinner (spaghetti) with the team.

The coach gave them a "pep talk" and gave them each a purple (NS colors) bead for their shoestring.

Team Spirit!!

I think they should stick to running - definitely would not make it very far in Vegas.

Game planning with Coach

Before the race Huddle

WooHoo!

Caleb in the lead and Hudson right behind.

The next time we saw the runners, Caleb had a pretty good lead.

Hudson was right in there (in the pack) behind Caleb 

Next time we saw Caleb, he had fell behind.

Not normal for him.

As he passed me, I said, "Come on buddy. Catch 'em!" 

He looked at me in pain and said, "My asthma."

I ran to find his bag and rifled through it until I found his inhaler.

I handed it to him when I saw him again.

He inhaled.

And tried to make up lost ground.

Hudson hanging with the front guys.

Caleb passed a few guys but just could not get back to the front.

He placed 6th overall and 3rd for the team.

Hudson placed 4th overall and 1st for the team.

Our boys team took 2nd.

(got beat by 2 points)

Our girls team took 2nd.

Both teams are going to STATE!!

State is on Wednesday.

We are praying for good health, no asthma attacks and very fast legs.

Go Braves!!
