Cook Family: Soccer's Over & Jenn's Wedding

After a soccer season filled with stubbornness on Nolan's part, the ending was great. Last Monday, we went to soccer practice only to find out that our team was not practicing that day....however, there was a lady handing out medals to the kids. Nolan was so excited to get his medal...he slept with it for the rest of the week. There's a fall league as well, but after this season, we're not going to enroll him for the fall. Practices would last for an hour, and Nolan participated for only about half the time. He also had yelled "I don't like soccer. It's boring" on a few occasions while standing on the field in the middle of practice. But, I can't complain, cause he was the only 4 year old on the team, and the other kids were 5 & 6. So maybe next Spring, we'll try again, or try a different sport. I think after receiving his medal, though, he may have a different attitude next time around.

This weekend, my best friend Jennifer got married. I was fortunate to be a part of the wedding, and was tickled pink to see her so happy on her wedding day. The wedding was very nice. After the wedding, we headed to the reception, which was outdoor. It was extremely hot that day, but at least the sun wasn't out in full force...so it was bearable. We had planned on taking either Nolan or Natalie, but neither came since they were enjoying the pool with Mom-o and Pops. Here are some pics.
