SUPER SOCCER SATURDAY and the DREADED KEEPER JERSEY



It is sad but it is true the fall soccer season is officially over.  This picture expresses so well my grief on the subject.

Well alright I'm a little more excited then I probably should be. Since my kids really do love soccer.  They love chasing the ball....


They love kicking the ball......



but most of all they love scoring goals.  However, what they don't like is "THE DREADED KEEPER JERSEY." None of my children are what you would call keeper friendly.  In fact when the coach says, "Who wants to be keeper?" My children are the ones that suddenly disappear. 

Putting them in a keeper jersey usually ends in looks like these. 


Keeping that in mind.. what was so amazing today is Andrew did an incredible job.  He ran, he jumped, he crashed into other players, he even took one ball right to the face saving the goal and not crying. I wanted to cry, I wanted to run out on the field and make sure he was ok.  But I've been told cool moms don't do those kinds of things.  It is hard work being a cool mom. 


I only wish I had all those cool pictures to show you.  But at last when it comes to action shots I am seriously laking in skills.  I tell Brent it is the camera and I need a bigger one with a really big, big lenses.  For some reason all I get from him is "uhh huu." 

So maybe it might not be the camera maybe it has more to do with the fact that I am jumping up and down screaming, "Get the Ball, get the ball, Andrew get that ball." Because you know he wouldn't know to get the ball if I wasn't yelling it.

Again it is tough work being a soccer mom.  Which is why I am looking forward to this little break before indoor soccer  begins.  Meanwhile, next weekend I will be putting on my swim mom hat because Sam and Andrew will be swimming in a meet.  Sam is excited since this will her first meet in over six months.  Andrew just thinks his coach is nuts because she signed him up for a 200.  So tune in next week for SUPER SWIM SATURDAY. 

I know, I know, how could you possibly entertain yourself without me. ā˜ŗ

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
