More Soccer....

Okay, so I admit that I have been a HUGE slacker lately but I have my reasons. I have had a houseful of sick kids, sick husband, and sick me and then repeat the cycle again. Things are finally slowing down and getting back to normal (thankfully). Soccer for the past two weeks has been very enjoyable. Traevn's team is still undefeated and Trae even scored two goals this past week. He was beyond ecstatic!!! Brekken's playing awesome this year and improving on everything. He is such a blast to watch because he has so much natural ability. Peyton is still quite the animal on his team, scoring the majority of their points each week. He is completely fearless!!! Brynlei is coming out of her shell each week and beginning to play harder. Last week she even scored 3 goals all by herself. She was so excited!!! We love watching the kids progress each week. Thanks to our Grandmas and Grandpas who are the best cheerleaders the kids could ask for!! Keep up the good work. This week we have off because of UEA and the deer hunt, which means I might actually be able to get some stuff done around the house:)

Soccer 9.19.09

Last Saturday was spent at soccer games once again. Brekken's team played first and played their hearts out. The field had just been watered so they kept tripping, slipping, etc. Brekken even took a roll in the mud. He is so much more aggressive this year. They played a tough game and ended up losing, but the donuts afterward made up for it:) Then it was off to Peyton's game, where he is an ANIMAL!!! He scored 3 of the 4 goals his team made. (Technically he also helped make the 4th one by assisting:)) His team won!!! It is so funny to watch him because he loves the game so much and isn't afraid to get right in there and do whatever it takes to score!! Brynlei's was right after Peyton's and she played much better than last week. Her team didn't have too much drama this week. I think in the end her team either tied or won. I lost count in the second half. Then finally it was off to Traevn's game. Nate did awesome coaching and Traevn played really good. He ran so much he was pooped by the end of the game. They won by a landslide!!! After Traevn's game ended at 4:00 we finally were able to grab some lunch!! Then it was home to rest before the RODEO (of course no pics of that. ) The kids had a blast at the rodeo. They loved the cowboys, princesses, bulls, horses, mutton busting, and especially the clowns!!! We even got rained on and they didn't even complain. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Graff for the tickets!! It was a very long Saturday but we had a lot of fun!!! Here's to this coming Saturday and every Saturday for the next couple of months:)

Soccer Season has began!!!

I can't believe that it is that time of year again.... Anyway last Saturday the soccer season officially began!! It is crazy. Traevn, Brekken, Peyton, and Brynlei are all playing this year, which means four games every Saturday. Crazy? of course but it's what we thrive on:) Traevn's game was first, Nate is coaching his team again this year. They totally dominated the game and won 4-2. Then it was on to Peyton's game where of course he scored the first two goals of the game. His team won 3-2. Brekken's game was next. His team played their hearts out but didn't end up winning, although Brekken scored 3 of their teams 4 goals!! It was awesome, he is an animal!! The last game of the day was Brynlei's. It was so funny to watch all these little 3-year old girls out their playing for the first time. Brynlei did good for her first game, she isn't used to playing with all girls (usually she plays with her brothers). She was a little shy but still played really good and her team ended up winning. Good job kids! We love watching you all play. It will get a little crazier when Karter's basketball games start in October with games on Saturdays. Can't wait!!!
