killer whales, blue whales and blizzard

these are the soccer teams we've been supporting this spring. how lucky that every uniform is blue! (we'd have fared better if they were red!) megs and isaac played with the same teams they were on last fall and did great! they still love this game--even after basketball and volleyball seasons this winter, soccer still gets the most love. matt and i look forward to their games every saturday, so excited to see our offspring out there, living out the dreams we have for them (that is meant as a joke)
mallory was the newest addition to the saturday morning schedule. she finally got her shot at soccer and pranced her way up and down the field. she played on a team with lots of friends from the ward and was a little less intimidated than we expected. this is a shot of her scoring her first goal and the after-goal high five from coach (yes, i said COACH) mom (that is a whole other story)




she's gotten less and less nervous with each game and starting to figure the whole thing out. she's my best listener out on the field which i am SOOOOOOO grateful for with 6 4-5 year olds out there at a time who need lots of direction. we didn't win many games but learned a bunch in the process (like get your small kids in a league that doesn't have 6 4-5 year olds out on the field at a time)
well, another season, come and gone--and none of us wanting it to end (except for the coach;)

Blue Whales must be a popular team name...that was Jackson's team last fall. We haven't had a red jersey yet either.
