Tourney Part II

...it was horrible! all i have to say is 6-1 we lost & it happened mostly in the first 15 min of the game..

game III tomorrow...we are already out of the finals but have to show up for good sportsmanship...yeah team

wish us luck!

Tournament Day 1

It was a very exciting game today! Felicity goalied the first half of the game and not a single ball got through...unfortunately neither did any of their balls either. It was a very busy game with balls bouncing off the goal left and right for both teams. First half score 0-0

Second half was a little tougher and the other team scored out of the shoot! Chase was goalie and did a great job at defending her post but allowed to balls to go through before she was replaced by Felicity due to an injury. She stayed in the game as defense. Felicity did a great job when she took over but they were able to get 2 more goals. Only 1 injury for her, it was her elbow and she is alive and well as I type. Game ended 0-4.

Hopefully tomorrow's game will have a better outcome or the will be eliminated from the tournament. Wish City luck!

Golden Days

Hey everyone!

Sorry for not posting sooner we have been super busy with soccer and life in general!! This week was Mateo's last week of soccer, Felicity will continue on to Tournament next and hopefully we will be done with this crazy chapter by next weekend!!

Not sure if I want to do this again next summer, we have had no free time to explore Alaska like we planned. Mateo asked if he could try out for the comp team (competitive leagues) they practice and play all year long and even travel!!! We agreed he can tryout...we'll just have to wait and see if he makes it. We would be really excited for him if he made it but not too disappointed if he didn't.

This weekend was FMH Family Picnic and Golden Day Celebrations. Its been a fun and busy weekend, lots of activities...the parade, rubber ducky race, governor's picnic (go see Sarah Palin) and my favorite the Red Green Regatta. (duct tape & cardboard boat's floating down the river)

Karen and the girls are settling just fine, Karen got a job!! She is a Medical Imaging Assistant. It seems to be a really great fit for her and it has a nice career path in the hospital. She started mid-week & is enjoying it fine. The girls are settling down nicely in their daycare programs and have very busy days, everyone is exhausted at the end of the day. Karen is discovering quickly that have an excellent school system in place.

Not much else to add, I'm exhausted from our busy day and ready to sit down and watch some boob tube...we catching the new series "being human" on BBC looks promising.

Love you all!

3-Day Weekend!!!

Karen & girls
cheesin'

waiting for soccer practice to end

Felicity's new haircut w/out bows...we really love it!

Hey Gang!

So we aren't out fishing, camping, boating or swimming but we are enjoying ourselves. Robert has to work today & I went in for a few hours to catch up for next week. So we are pretty much hanging out around the house. Baby is napping and the big kids are watching the original version of Return to Witch Mountain w/Betty David!! They spent 5.5 hrs at Chena Lakes and 2 hrs on the soccer fields yesterday...they are tired, sunburned and dehydrated. I think a leisurely day is just fine!!

Beside the baby is napping and no one wants to mess with that! If he doesn't sleep no one is happy. So far today he has bitten Mia, punched Audrey, scratched F-City and nearly missed hitting Mateo. Enough is enough...off to nap!

We are going to b-b-q party tomorrow afternoon and Sunday we might go swimming for today it is rest and re-hydrating. Have a great 4th everyone & enjoy your fireworks! (remember we don't get to have them here due to the 24 hrs of daylight!!!
