Sharks!




Thursday was Austin and Kylers first soccer practice.They met their coach and teammates and all the kids decided their team would be called The Sharks..
I forgot Austins ball on the counter so the start of practice was a little rocky.He kept wanting his ball and he had to take turns and use other peoples.Bad Mom! I will not make that mistake again.
After a few warm up routines he really started getting the hang of it.He and I are very excited and looking forward to the next practice , with his ball!

Funny Dads!






Tonight after swim class we had some play time in the yards.The Dads tried to teach the kids how to jump rope.Of course not a one of them are old enough for that coordination yet.Even if they had been the poor kids were never given a chance to practice because their Dads hardly gave them turns to try! They kept"showing" them how to do it.It was hilarious watching them play like little girls! Little girls with beer that is!

Dam You John Edwards!

I was so blind sighted by the admission of his affair. I may not have agreed with his position but I really liked him as a man and a husband.I thought he was a great guy and a very genuine one too but of course he turns out to be just like every other politician.
How sleazy do you have to be to cheat on your wife , the mother of your children who has stood by him and helped him in every aspect of his life , not to even mention all the while fighting terminal breast cancer! You sleazy sleazy dog..And no we don't believe you , of course the kid is yours!
Just when I thought you could not humiliate your loving wife any more , a love child!
I once admired him now I find him disgusting....

Ready For The Pro's!






This morning the kids completed soccer camp.I am so proud of these three kids ! They all worked hard every day and really soaked up everything the Coaches were telling them.
They each got a t-shirt and a certificate of what skills they had learned with a personalized note from Coach Gail.
I recommend the Challenger Soccer Camp to everyone! These Coaches were OUTSTANDING! Their first soccer coach will have some big shoes to fill in their eyes because they were really fond of them.Austin and Kyler told me on the way home how much they already missed Coach Ed.
This experience was fabulous for Aunt Taryn and I as well.It filled my heart everyday to see those kids learning a new skill and truly enjoying the moment.
We are all looking forward to the start of soccer this fall!
WAY TO GO AUSTIN,ALEX,and KYLER!!!!!

She has got the fever!

For soccer that is...
Alex is really loving soccer camp and told me she wanted to play on a team with girls..So I made sure she knew it was just girls and Kyler and Austin would not be on her team..She understood and was actually excited that it was just going to be girls..
So I got lucky and there were 2 more spots open so we signed her up.
This fall is going to be nuts with both their practices , games,plus Alex's regular dance and gymnastics every week.
Oh well , they are excited and that is what makes me happy!

Soccer Camp..Day 1..




This morning was the first day of soccer camp.The kids had to get up at 7am,that is WAY early for them.Once they stopped complaining they soon got very excited!
The first day went great.The kids learned all kinds of fun ways to kick the ball around.I can not say enough about the whole British Soccer organization.These coaches are awesome with the kids.
They are already pumped for tomorrow..
