My little piece of the world. . .

President's Cup . . .

The ARFC Freedom 03' girls participated in the President's Cup this past weekend and what a weekend it was! Saturday was a good day - cold - but good. The girls won the first game (4-1) and lost the second game (0-1). Sunday was even colder w/ the breeze but they tied their first game (1-1) which put them in the finals (it's all based on this point system - I barely get it - lol). So the final, final game of the season was upon us. We had to play the team we lost against the day before. Half time the score was 0-0 so both teams came out full force the second half and we scored!! The one and only goal of the game - winning the Cup!!! The girls were jumping up and down and the parents were all screaming. Did you hear me? So proud of them :)

Here's some highlights of Hannah . . .

 

Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine . . .

Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine . . . PICTURES TAKEN!!! That's right!! I was downloading the pictures off my camera to our computer and noticed it. It doesn't go to 10,000, it starts over at one. So here it is . . . the 9,999th picture I took.  It's Jordan playing soccer this past Sunday :)

Boofest . . .

Even though Hannah is still wearing her sling, we let her play a few minutes each game at Boofest. It was something she had been looking forward to for months. It was a lot of fun to see the girls dressed up and we had a parent make our scarecrow display - very cool!!

Here's Hannah playing.

Our scarecrow display ~ Jason, me and Hannah (and Hannah went as a pirate for Halloween so it worked out perfect :)

Even though the girls won 3 games and tied 1 game (no losses), they placed 3rd. Glad to see they were still very happy about it!

Jordan scored again . . .

I think this is a lucky field for him - he scored a few weeks ago on this field too!!

That's Jordan in red getting ready to kick the ball.

As a defender . . .

it was awesome to watch Jordan take the pk kick and score the one and only goal at the game on Saturday ~ plus they won 1-0!

  

  

It's official . . .

Soccer season has begun . . . for Jordan #18!  Their team played a great game this past Saturday and they won. Jordan even scored a goal - as a defender!! Go Yellowjackets!!!!!!!!!!!

 
 

 

Davis . . .

With all this soccer, we definitely get to see cities that we've never been to before. Of course we've driven through Davis but never stopped for anything (other than that flat tire I got over fifteen years ago while driving home by myself - but that's another story). They have very nice new soccer fields right in the middle of the corn fields :)  When you think of Davis do you think corn fields? Me neither! But there are a ton of them!

 

   

Pleasanton . . .

Though we had two days of soccer, it really felt like a mini vacation with friends. We had a great time and the kids loved staying in a hotel and swimming!

 

   
 
     

Jamboree . . .

The girls played in the Folsom Classic Jamboree this past weekend. Hannah scored 1 goal - yah for her!

Here's some highlights of the fun!
