Jadi's latest Soccer Game

Jadi had two games this week!
Monday night they lost. It was really cold, and I'm not sure any of the girls wanted to be out running around. Unusual for Texas in April, temp was in the low 50's with a cool wind blowing. The same time Jadi was playing soccer, Danny had a basketball game. There's a spring league put on by the High School Coach and Players. They're the coaches and officials. Danny's team lost, which he informed us was because the refs were cheating for the other team. (I think the refs may have been checking out the girls who came to watch the game.) I missed out on both games because I was losing a softball game across town.

I took Jadi to her soccer game last night, they played the very first team they played this season (4-1 loss) It was a very exciting game, scoreless through Halftime, good defense on both sides of the ball, girls passing and playing together. The other team finally scored with about 5 minutes remaining, and although we had 4 shots on goal, just couldn't slip one past the keeper. Our team has really improved since the first meeting, and we will see this team again...GO LADY LIGHTNING! I shot almost a whole roll of film. (See kids, before we had digital cameras, we had cameras that used film. Which after you took the pictures, you would put into a shoebox, wait 6-8 months, then take it to Costco, where they would print out double copies of each picture, whether you wanted it or not. Even if your eyes were closed, or it was blurry or someone was naked, you got copies of each picture, and you PAID for each picture.)

I should have those pictures posted to the Blog by Thanksgiving...Christmas at the latest.

When Melanie went to Oregon for Michael's sealing, I took Natalie and Carson to McDonald's one day. McDonald's Happy meals are running a Disney Princess / Pirate theme currently, and in Carson's Happy meal, he got a water/stick-on tattoo of Pirates of the Caribbean Skull and cross Swords. I put it on his arm. Now, almost two weeks later, it's still prominently displayed on his arm. He will lift is shirt up and Flex the Bicep for you to see his Ink. Again, pictures to follow by New Year's.

That's life as we know it.

We love soccer at the Smith house. Kaycee's allstar team is currently in second place. Kaycee's famous saying is "Girls kick grass"

Very fun! Sounds like you guys are super busy with sports.

Did I tell you Dan and I are the two newest coaches of the local soccer club? Wahoo.

Being in the 50s is cold to you, that's warming up for us. Today it was 53 degrees and the boys and I were taking advantage of it by going outside to play at the park. Looks like you guys are having lots of fun with all the sports. And yo ho to Carson, that's awesome!
