A slow beginning to a new soccer season.

A rough start to the beginning of the season. First practices were canceled day after day, due to rainy weather, thunder and muddy fields. Finally Marcus attends one practice and then the 1st game, the Green Dragons win 7-0. Marcus missed a goal, but he had fun. He couldn't wait to play again--then the world came tumbling down when his allergies kicked into high gear. First he missed to two days of practice, then three days of school (it got that bad) and sadly he missed a game. But I know he enjoyed his endless hours of playing with his Game Cube. I also know that he missed all his buddies from school including his teacher and of course his bus driver. His days must of being long, since he had to spend it with his mom.

But that is okay, this is a new week and Marcus has return to school and practice had now resume. All is well in the world of Marcus. He can't wait for his next game.

-Labor Day Weekend-

First time going back to the rez for a while-the to do list begins:

• visit family
• a traditional wedding
• birthday party
• and being a tourist

Spent the night in Winslow, went around Ganado, visit a niece. Stop near Rock Point for an evening wedding. Spend the night and following day in Utah for the birthday barbecue, fishing. Going to Cortez for shopping(husband loved that by the way-that's what happens when you send the girls alone). Along the way home stop at Mexican Hat, Monument Valley for photos. Also, did some window shopping by the roadside vendors. Visit a grandma(Black Mesa), that was rewarding she gave us some peaches-delicious by they way. Visit an uncle(in-laws), briefly near Red Lake. More photos here and there, I just like the scenery. My husband always says that I'm just a tourist-but that is okay by me. Just not what we see on a daily basis around the Prescott surrounding. I guess I just miss it, makes me keep coming home-meaning to my family. Visit more family in Tuba City, caught up on some home videos(graduations that we missed). Finally we made our way all the way back home-some of us were sleeping though. All in all the trip was great, can't wait for the next time to see what we missed. There is way to much to see or just can't get enough of.

From this photo it looks as though my kids get a little tired of me always stopping to take more photos, so they entertain themselves. At least they're not bored huh?
