With the beautiful Spring weather last week each of the kids only played one of their two soccer games. Keiera was so upset that her first game was cancelled. It was only raining and they could still play! We had to convince her that she really didn't want to play in the VERY cold rain. It was nice not having all the games to run too, but now they'll have to try and reschedule a LOT of games. Chad had an EMS training early Saturday morning and so I got Skyler ready for his game at 9 a.m. Keiera thought she'd like to go, but after being there and getting our feet soaking wet just from walking across the VERY long grass, she was ready to go back home. I had forgotten chairs and water for Skyler anyway, so I took her home. Skyler played great--he wore out quickly, but he knew what he was doing. His team struggled, but only lost 2-4. Skyler scored on a penalty kick and had several other great shots. Alex's team was next--we just had to move fields. Chad had gone home and gotten her. She always surprises me when I watch her play with how aggressive she can be. Her team also lost there game. She did get one great shot on goal though! Next was Jaydon's game clear out in Wellsville. I took him there because Keiera's team started 15 minutes later in Hyrum. Jaydon's poor team got trounced! They lost 1-10+ and I seriously think the other team had 20! Jaydon finally made one goal after MANY attempts from him and another boy. He and this other boy would kick the ball from the half line to the goalie! Hopefully the teams will improve!!! Chad said Keiera played GREAT! She even scored 2 goals. Their team won! She got the ball away from a little boy both times and went around him to score! Wish I could have seen her. I will have to miss her game tonight as Jaydon plays at the same time again! She is even doing better listening at soccer practices--can't say much for some of the others though.

So we are full into soccer again. When the weather is nice, it is fun to be outside watching the games. I hear it is suppose to snow again this weekend though! With Chad working on Saturday, maybe it would be nice not to have to get three of the four kids to soccer games. Skyler doesn't have one on Saturday, which is great. He gets to go with the Scouts on an overnight camp and then a 10 mile bike ride on Saturday. I still can't believe he is going to be 12 in less than one week!

I'm sure there will be much more soccer to write about next week!!! :)
