Soccer season is drawing to an end, with only one week left, and I realized that I hadn't posted any pictures of it yet!
Jessica was on the red team and her coaches were a pathetic husband and wife duo. (ahem...cough..cough:) They were so pathetic, that by the third week in, they'd almost entirely "passed the buck" and asked their awesome, teenage, next door neighbor to take over. Just wait though- it gets even MORE lame then that. Not only did they totally flake out on coaching, but they failed to actually TAKE their daughter to soccer 4 WEEKS in a row!!!!
Losers much?
In John's and my defense: Way back when we registered the kids AND volunteered to coach, John had not yet been called into a Bishopric, I had not yet been called to my calling, the busy-ness of May and June had not yet hit, and I was still some what of a "keener."
A lot changed between then and now, you know?
Despite our jumping ship, we still think the Red Team ROCKS, and we think our awesome, teenage neighbor is the coolest coach ever! (As you can see, John still likes to get in the game whenever he can:)
Jessica has ...well...played about half the season, so there's not much else to say.
Saturdays are BUSY ok?!!
She doesn't seem to mind though, as she has told us that she "well...likes soccer and stuff, but basketball is really her thing. Basketball and animals, are her thing."
So why force it? If it's not "her thing"- it's not her thing! haha.
Sam, on the other hand, is a soccer maniac.
Not because he particularly excels at it, but because he really does love it.
(and really, he can hold his own:)
Last week, he kicked the ball and it hit a kid in the face. That kid left the game with a bloody nose, so that was kinda awesome of us. ;(
For the most part though, he's a real team player, and LOVES to run all around the field celebrating with any one who will join in his little party.
If he happens to connect with the ball in the process, well...that's just an added bonus!!!
