Memorial Day Fun

It was fun having the Bruning family for the Memorial Day weekend! It has been a tradition to participate in our ward 5 k run in the morning, followed by breakfast. This year, Sefa kept up with his Uncle Erik and Greg and Tua ran together. I chaperoned the 3 musketeers (Pelu, Masi and Tita) who started off strong for the first block and then decided to save their energy for the finish line:) Everyone did great this year! Afterwards we headed off to Greg's parents to cool off in their pool and have a picnic with them. We all had a great time. We thank those who have served honorably and sacrificed much for the freedom we enjoy. We remember Greg's uncle who he is named after, Alan Gregory Flloyd, who died in the Vietnam War. We thank those who have served and are currently serving our country. In our family, Uncle Tom serves in the Army and Uncle Erik serves in the Navy. In the past, Greg's dad served in the Air Force, Uncle Joe served in the Marines and my dad served in the Coast Guard. May God continue to Bless America!

Soccer Season

Finished up with soccer recently with a little farmers tan we got while cheering on our kids on the soccer fields. It has been fun watching them play and we LOVE it, but it's nice to have our weekends back. Pelu really enjoyed himself this year and seemed to learn the game a bit more than just running over people. Sefa plays with his heart and gives his all in the game. This season he played with a mixed age group (8-10) and it has been a challenge to play with the older boys but he held his own. Tua has kept her spirits up and has played well. Her team tied one game and the rest, well....not so good. After trying out for the current soccer organization (TASC) but for an older age group and then a different challenge organization(TWINS), she made both teams but has decided to switch jerseys.
