Just like old times

So…wanna here something really cool? Last night was pretty awesome. Not because we did anything fancy or spectacular, but because we did what used to be a pretty normal thing for us. See, Zach used to play soccer. He started when he was four years old and played every season until about two years ago. He loved it! Our Saturday mornings were mostly spent on the soccer fields, watching Zach, and then later Ryan, play. The coolest thing about it all is the friendships that Zach made with some of his teammates. They became his best friends. And what’s even cooler…their parents became some of our closest friends. So, last night, when they asked if Zach could play in place of someone that was out, he jumped at the chance! No hesitation. We were off to the fields just like old times. It felt great! I will say I was a bit nervous for Zach who hasn’t played or trained for it in a looong time, but he did great, minus the sore legs…but that’ll pass!😂 I will admit I got a bit emotional (that’s nothing new 🙄). I was immediately flooded with memories. These little moments mean so much to us now and sitting there watching them made me realize that Zach needs these normal moments in his crazy, busy life. Don’t get me wrong…the most amazing thing EVER is watching Zach do what he was born to do.  Making music is his life!  But, watching him get to do normal teenage stuff was pretty awesome, too.

What I loved watching the most is how normal their friendship still is. Even though they don’t spend as much time together as they used to, they’re the absolute same when they’re together as they’ve always been. I hope they cherish their time together, always have each other’s backs and remain forever friends…forever family.

    Oh my gosh that’s so cool! I have been playing soccer since I was four and started competitive soccer when I was 9. I am on a girl’s ECNL team for Boise Timbers/Thorns and play varsity soccer for my high school (I play holding mid). It’s really cool to me that you can love a sport so much but then find a balance with music, (I have been singing in choir since age 8 and take singing lessons). I play 7 instruments and love singing. I love soccer so much, but I feel like music is what truly makes me happy. Anyways, it’s just so cool to me that he played soccer hahaha (I’m a big fan of WDW 😉 ). ❤❤❤

    Hi Myta

    I’m a fan of Why don’t we and I’d just like to say Zach is very lucky to have u as a mum. Your son is inspirational and amazing and I can definitely say that this is because of u. To see Zach happy makes me happy 😊!
    Btw soccer is an amazing game. I’m 13 and have been playing it since I was 9.
    Keep up the good work with your blog! ❤️

    Hey, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
    Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick
    heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!

    Hi Myta!

    Everybody needs this kind of normalcy, even for those like Zach who are on their way to stardom. The fandom is getting crazy with rumors, bullying, and bashing and it’s really nice to see that the boys, though it’s their fandom, don’t need to get all too mixed up in all that craziness. This is why I’m glad that they all have strong family ties. They all have the right to follow their hearts towards what they want and what they need in their lives. There is nothing in this life that’s worse than existing and not knowing what to do with oneself.

    I’m a mom to Ian but even I sometimes think of what else I should be doing for myself because after all, I’m not just a mother, I am my own person as well. This is why I love watching bits of their lives unfold in every IG story because I love to see the realness in them and with the people that surround them. I especially enjoyed watching that clip of your kids playing in the yard, those videos Zach posted on his account. And Reese with that baseball bat, LOL! I can tell that your girl is not going to be a pushover 😀 By the way, what else do you love to do, besides being a mom of your kids and of course, blogging? I love singing and writing, just some of my well-loved hobbies. I’m actually writing a fanfiction of the boys being secret agents, lol! I still dream of becoming a real author someday.

    I would love to meet you and the boys someday, too, if you ever get here to the Philippines where their Invitation EP went #2 in the iTunes charts. The boys are becoming huge and there’s no doubt why. They will need the grace of God and their families more than ever. I will always pray for each and every one of you guys. Take care!

      Hi Elaine!
      Yes, everyone definitely deserves some balance in their life. I think it’s also important for people to see them with their families doing normal every day things. The rumors and bullying will never end, it’ll probably actually get worse, but people need to be reminded that they are normal people. All the boys have strong family support. They’re all super close to their families and I’m so thankful for that. 🙂

      I’ve always dreamed of writing a book, too! Maybe one day! For now, I’ll stick to the blog. 🙂 Thanks for reading!!

    I love Why Don’t We and I love to watch them perform. However, I love seeing them be able to spend time with their family and friends most. I feel like sometimes people forget that they’re still human, just because they’re famous. They deserve to have ordinary every day moments, because those usually end up being the most special and important moments in life.

    This is so sweet. I wished and is still wishing for Zach for the best because he deserves it and Zach never lets his fans down. He is so positive he’s always doing the things that he wants and is also good for him. We are always here to support him in his ups and downs. The boys also deserve time away from there busy lives in California and just spend time with friends and family and live a life a normal teenager for a little bit. I bet you had an awesome time with your son. With much LOVE.

    Oh how adorable. I’m pretty sure they’ll remain friends forever, if it doesn’t seem to change right now that Zach is famous, I don’t know would or could in the future. I can clearly see how they respect each others too. I’ve got chills reading you. I don’t have kids but I feel you Myta. Have a great Halloween.

He does deserve to have so “normal” time as his life is full of craziness from going from one city to another almost every night. I hope to meet you and Zach sometime soon!! I love the music the boys perform but also i love that you are so involved. I think it also helps that y’all are from Texas because I am from Texas as well. Actually not that far from Dallas! Your family is so cute and I hope maybe one day I can meet y’all!!

It’s so sweet to hear about what life was like for Zach before this crazy experience that he gets to live right now. I’m glad to be a fan of him and so proud of all his success but i’m even more happy to hear that he still gets to experience things like this because the little things in life are what matter the most. You raised some pretty great kids and i’m glad you get to spend time with all of them right now. Enjoy your sweet kids and thank you for sharing these adorable stories with us:)))
