Its Football and Soccer Season!!

                                                                        

I know I said I would try and update this every week, my intentions were good but I just need a extra 10 hours in the day to get stuff done.  We have been busy with soccer, football and school.  To catch everyone up to date....Ashleigh did great in cross country, especially since she decided to do it only to keep her endurance up for soccer.  She competed in districts, a few weeks ago and with over 250 kids she came in 48, and had her all-time best score, we were very proud of her!  She is loving soccer and she is playing a new position, goalie.  I have to say that I am probably more nervous than she is when she is defending the goal, but so far she has played two games and no goals have been scored on her!!  (It helps that she has awesome defenders helping her out too)  In her last game they won 4-0 and she scored her first goal of the season!  She is doing well in school and has lots of friends and is a very socially active teenager.  Jake is having a great football season, they are undefeated for a 4-0 record.  His last game they beat the team 77-0.  He is still playing linebacker, offensive line and special teams.  He loves to tackle and has had some great hits this season.  Delainie started soccer a few weeks ago, she was very excited to play with her new team, I even had to force her to not wear her shin guards and cleats to bed.  Her first practice she refused to play, but her second one she loved it.  She had fun with her coach and learned how to dribble the ball and take a shot at the goal.  She is loving preschool and her best friend is a little girl named Ryan.  Leah is our little eating machine, and does pretty well being dragged all over to sports practices and games, she is a trooper!  Ryan is somewhat getting used to staying home with the kids during the day, he does have a new-found respect for stay-at-home moms.  I am patiently waiting to hear if I have gotten accepted into nursing school and recently just passed my boards for my CNA.  We are looking forward to celebrating Ryan's birthday tonight, with a cake made by Delainie!
