Soccer Season Ends...

...and in all I think we had a great time, even if Greg was forced to coach and cheer for the RED team more than once (we never did get him to wear a red shirt to show his support though). There were 10 kids, but only 8-9 ever showed up at one time and since there were so few kids we decided to mix up the teams every week and for every practice. I think/hope the kids had a good time and learned a little bit. It was great to see the difference from the first game (or the every man for himself) to the last game where they were always passing and thinking ahead and planning/stratagizing. It was GREAT!

These were taken last week in the rain.



The first game the girls shied away from the boys letting them dominate the whole game. Not so anymore! Do you think it is bad that I am very proud of this "tackle"?


These ones were taken today-Skye learned a lot about soccer too, I think she will take after her big sis.




Where is Dax you ask? Well of course he is playing on the toys-where else would a little brother be? Did you ex[ect him to sit around and cheer on his sister or his coaching parents? Yeah right! We are going to let him play next year though so who knows if we will coach again.

Greg had to work today so we got some more of our garden put up and saved for the winter months. Jacey has been begging me to do the rest of the carrots so we started with those today and she worked very hard to clean them and let me peel them, but her interest in preserving the food was not there she really wanted to do all the carrots so she could eat them all. I seriously had a hard time keeping up with the little rabbit and finally had to tell her NO MORE you are going to turn orange. We also got some onions done. My little garden is becoming smaller and smaller and will probably be down to nothing in a couple of weeks. How sad, but YAY for the frozen veggies we will enjoy all winter long!

Accepting Defeat...

...The house has won, the wallet is not found. Of course once we cancel everything and Greg has a new Idaho drivers license-if he passes the test-we will find the wallet in an obvious place. We think there must be a black hole in this house somewhere. We will give it one last ditch effort on Monday and then truly accept defeat.

On a plus side Greg is cheering for the RED team today and we are going to ROCK, and that makes everything worth it. Sadly he refuses to wear a red shirt to support his daughter's team-how sad, I can't believe he would dare disappoint his eldest-will they ever get past this or will this be that moment in history that he forever regrets?

Short and sweet today-got lots to do!

Food for Thought...

"First, educate your hands and your minds. You belong to a church which espouses education...Get all the education you can. Train yourselves to make a contribution to the society in which you will live. There is an essence of the divine in the improvement of the mind."
President Gordon B. Hinckley
