My Saturday Warriors

We finally had a beautiful sunny Saturday for soccer games. It's actually the first really sunny day we have had since the season started. Also, as a huge plus, everyone (including me!) was healthy!! I was able to get a few shots of the kids playing.

I was only able to see about 10 minutes of Josh's game (Megan and I had to leave for her game), and I didn't get any really great pictures of him in action. Here is one, though:


His team tied, 2-2 against a Monrovia team.

Megan has been playing in the goal, and loving it. I HATE it! It just makes me way too nervous. I did get a great shot of her saving a goal, though:


Unfortunately, she got scored on right after this. Her game ended in a 2-2 tie as well.

Kyle had the last game of the day. He has been playing midfielder this year, which is a switch from the past 2 years. Here is fun shot of him:


This game didn't turn out so well for his team; they lost 3-1, even though they had so many more shots on goal than the other team. They just kept kicking it straight to the goalie.

It was a long day... we were out on the fields for about 5 hours. We didn't even think of sunscreen (dummies!) and we are all paying for it today. This picture was taken at Kyle's game. Barry never sits during the games. He helps out Josh's team, so he stands on the sideline with the coaches, then during the other games, he paces back and forth. I guess the day was wearing on him, because I got a rare shot of him sitting!


We have a deal with Kayti. She has been drug to the fields with us every Saturday in the fall for the past 8 or 9 years (I've lost count!), and has had to sit and watch everyone play. She played for 2 of those years, but hated it. This year, her Daddy told her that she could stay home from the games if she would clean the house while we were gone. She was all for it, so now, thankfully, we return home from games to a clean house!

Special thanks to Grannie and Grandpa for coming to watch all of the games yesterday! The kids sure did appreciate having you there!
