Happy Halloween

The little one's did their parade at school today and then we went out for Halloween with friends.  It was a chilly night but at least it didn't rain.  Kids had fun and everyone stayed safe, a great night of fun.

Not enough soccer?

Alex played yesterday, Emma this morning, but they just didn't have enough soccer I guess!  I mowed the lawn and when the leaves were gone their soccer field was clear!  Love how they enjoy the game and each other enough to go out and just play.

Emma's indoor soccer season starts with a bang

Emma's team won 10-0 and Emma scored a goal and had an assist in their first game.  It was good seeing her back in action after taking some time off from playing.

Izzy's first MSU hockey game!

Thanks to some friends I got to take Izzy and their son Gavin to an MSU hockey game tonight.  They played Lake Superior State University and won 6-0!  It was a great game, and she loved it.



A cold day of soccer!

Today it was in the low 40's with a lovely wind!  Izzy's first soccer season came to an end with a loss, but they were still 5-1-1, which is really good!  She played hard as always, and she improved so much during the fall session.  Alex's team also lost later this afternoon, but as always no one out worked him on the field.  He played well but they just came up short.

A little pumpkin carving

Did some pumpkin carving today with friends. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Kids got right in there and had fun!

Izzy gets her first goal!

Izzy got her first goal of the season today against Okemos.  They won 4-1, taking their record to 5-0-1!  Still have not lost a game!  She was so excited afterwards, it was really fun watching her enjoy it.

Izzy's soccer team beats the rain and Haslett!

This afternoon it was absolutely pouring but it didn't stop Izzy's soccer team beating Haslett and going to 4-0-1 on the season!  Izzy had a great shot on goal but the goalie got to it.  She played hard and had fun.  The girls were soaked but it's always fun when you win!

Alex gets asked to fill in for the U13 soccer team again!

With twenty minutes before game time the coach for the team a grade up called on Alex for a fill in.  Luckily we could do it, and Alex played great and even scored a goal.  It amazes me how good he is and how he can hang with kids almost two years older than him.  They beat Webberville with room to spare!
