McKenzie is on the 'Awesome Pickles'..the goalie extraordinaire! She's learning the positions and how to be aggressive on the field. She does really well as a mid-fielder. All that running and hustling around is good for the kids! The parents and coach of Kenz' team are a bit...out of control, to say the least. A lot of yelling and screaming--the poor girls end up crying and feeling defeated half the time. Sad, but true...haven't won a game yet this season.
Monson is on the 'Blue Cougars'. His coaches are two college guys that just love soccer and used to play for Cal State San Marcos' Cougars. They are great with the boys and a lot more light-hearted and easy-going than eehmmm {clear throat} others. Monson isn't afraid of the ball and is known for 'heading' and loves to skid out on the side of his hip...we keep reminding him it's not baseball. He's a good little player and rotates through every position, except goalie.
...And then the cycle starts all over again. The little girls keep themselves busy practicing their skills so one day we can taxi them around and watch them run up and down that field.
We're all sported out...We could choose to keep our kids out of sports, but then I'd have one less thing to complain about :). So I'll put on my happy soccer-mom hat, take pictures, gauk at their cuteness and just live in the moments...even the soccer ones, that will be gone all too soon. Well, at least until next season when I live in my car to cart the kids to and fro.

The Awesome Pickles is the greatest name for a team - absolutely inspired! I can hear the cheers now!
Wow talk about crazy, but fun Saturdays! They are so cute in their uniforms! Glad they are enjoying their sports so much.
Love it! I'm getting ready for the craziness to be over too.
I loved having you kids in sports - it was fun taking all of the family out to support each of you. Not only did the organized sports help each of you physically but you learned social skills and how to work with a team and take directions from the coach. What great memories! One regret of mine is that we didn't have you, Shay, in dance and voice classes because you certainly have those talents too!
A lot of kids now days don't know how to play - how sad they spend too much time being "entertained" - Glad your kids are enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, exercise, while learning sportsmanship.
Talk about BUSY! And I LOVE your photos!
I get my fabrics straight from the manufacturers. The only fabric I buy from the district is the minky swirl and chenille. There is a great store there though that carries all the AB stuff, some MM and some Heather bailey, joel dewberry, etc. It's called Michael Levine. I think it is on block 29&30 if you want to look on the map to find it. Good luck! That place is awesome!
You are so right, everyone told me that as my kids got older we would just get busier. Of course I didn't believe them, I just thought...no diapers and no stroller, how hard can it be??? We only have one in sports now and I can't believe the scheduling. I don't know how you do it with so many, you guys are superparents!
The Pickles Rock! Go McKenzie. She is an amazing goalie. Nothing gets past her.
