running men.

we FINALLY made it to a track meet to see kramer (blake's best friend) and stephen (my nephew) run. we always have the best of intentions but never seem to motivate to get there to watch. track meets can go on. and on. and on. but that's ok because it gives lots of time for talking. blake and luke roamed around the whole time (not together, of course!) and max hung with me. we were there with my mom and dad and we sat with my brother scott and his family. that was fun! i love my family. and even though we live in the same place, just minutes apart, we don't see each other enough. the little girls were there so there was lots of hair-doing and ponytail making and so forth. i'm pretty sure i've mentioned that before. one thing i enjoy is watching my dad and my brothers together, even though to be honest they drive me nuts at times, especially when the object of their picking is me. anyway, i got to watch dad and scott this time. just makes me shake my head. scott gets more like dad all the time. a very very good thing, but with definite potential for making me want to pull my hair out.

jeff and donna were there of course, so we got to chat with them a little. and i saw some other people that i've known all my life but rarely see. good evening! it was made even better by the fact that kramer held on to the first place that his relay team had set and they won first! he was SO thrilled and proud of himself!!! of course jeff and donna were, and we were proud too.
