Soccer Season-we're in the thick of it...Hailey is playing on a year-round Matrix (AYSO club) team and Jake and Sammy are playing this year too. We couldn't put Sammy off any longer. When I asked Spencer if he wanted to play, the millisecond of hesitation prompted me to say, "Then No, you're not playing" Having three kids playing in one season is enough to keep all my weeknights and Saturdays busy driving the kids all over the city. On Thursday nights I'm in the car for three and a half hours straight-thus the aforementioned "suburban" spread. I actually drive a Tahoe, but the suburban part sounded funnier. I wouldn't do it if they all didn't love it so much. Hailey is a serious soccer star...we're hoping for a BYU scholarship in her future. She's so smart and aggressive on the field. VERY impressive. Jake is getting pretty good too although we're trying to cure him of occasionally running with his hands dropped effeminately from his arms, and from losing his jersey, ball, shin guards, etc.
everytime we have a practice/game. Sammy's having a grand old time running around the field in an adorable little pack of beribboned girls (of course, I made the team ribbons) and she especially loves the snack-big surprise. So, I guess my rapidly expanding behind is all worth it. What we do for our kids!
