the weekend came to an end

This past weekend was a big weekend for the Pharis family. We were all involved in our own events at the same time, and yet at different locations.

Tod and I did the MS Bike Tour. It its a 2 day event, with a total of 183km of biking. I finished the tour with a glorious bike time of 5hours & 17Min's. I am very proud of myself and have no pain in fact I went for my 6km run this morning and feel great. Tod finished the first day and with his back that was all he could do, I am very proud that he did that and maybe next year he can cross the finish line with me.

Oakly, Aspen, and Avery were all in their own Soccer Tourney. Their teams made it to the final games and the kids all walked away with something. Oakly's team got Gold, Aspen's team got a Silver with a double overtime and a shoot out, it was very nerve racking. Avery's team also got a Silver in an overtime, it was horrible for me to watch, because Avery was the goalie.

Sunday was a long day for our family. I got done my ride before noon, went home for a quick shower and then off to millet to watch all the kids in their games. Aspen's was the latest so we didn't arrive home until 9:30pm. It was rather late, they were all tiered from camping all weekend and the sun was amazingly hot, (not complaining) but it takes its toll when you are in it for 3 days straight. All in all the Pharis Family all had an amazing weekend doing our various activities.

My weekend was a worry free weekend knowing that the kids were all very well taken care of. S. M. took Okaly, and S. O. took the kids (plus her 3) all camping by herself. We are so blessed to have wonderful friends that love to help out and love our kids. Thanks everybody without you Tod and I couldn't have done it! :)

we made it through

Dance is done and the girls did a great job. After their performance yesterday we went to the Village at Pigeon Lake. They have a few great restaurants and I wanted the kids to experience something different so we went to check it out. We tried Buffalo burgers, Italian Soda (Coconut lime Mmmmm), and few kinds of desserts. It was a great way to spend the rest of our afternoon.
Today is Monday and although I am a regular at work I took the day off to just be alone without running the kids around. Tod took the day off also. We have yard work to catch up on and a neglected house to do some major tossing, putting away and cleaning in, as I type this all I am thinking is that I needed to take the week off. Oh well one day is better than none.
Happy Monday and June 1st (19 days of school left) we are all on the count down. Yippee!!
