Ponies Run Wild

You may not know it from reading this little blog, but baseball isn’t the only sport being played by members of our family this spring. The Wild Ponies are back and on the loose, tearing up the soccer field! Keira only gets to be a Wild Pony ever other year. She’s a year older than [...]

More Than Just A Game

She looks like she’s having fun, huh? She was so excited that Grandma and Grandpa could watch her play. She was also excited it wasn’t snowing for the first time on game day this season!
She was so happy she scored a goal while Grandma and Grandpa were here

And it is more than just [...]

It’s Friday!!!

FINALLY! Whew . . . I can’t believe I made it . . .
Last Saturday was another “beautiful” day for spring soccer in the Rockies. Dude is wearing a rain jacket under his jersey; however, it could have been a t-shirt or parka at any time . . . we had snow, rain, sunshine so [...]

Spring Soccer in the Rockies

Well, soccer started Thursday, right on schedule Ya gotta be ready for anything in April! Keira did not wear a princess dress - it was snowing - but she did put on long underwear to be warm I suggested that maybe she would want to put some pants on over her long underwear [...]

The Ladybugs Are On Track

Well, I’m 4 weeks in to Ladybugs Soccer, and we’re having a blast! I will admit that I get a little frustrated at times . . . girls are just different than boys. Really - they are much more flakey. With boys, you had one or two that would just refuse to play - they’d sit [...]

Soccer Thursday

Well, it’s Thursday - which means soccer practice. My son will be joining his team, the Hurricanes this evening. Thank goodness they chose a good name!
I again will attempt to herd some cats
Wish me luck!

Ladybugs Soccer

Do you know how difficult it is to get 8 girls to stand in 2 lines so they can pass a soccer ball to each other? I do. It’s much like herding cats; cats that like to pick dandelions out of the grass; cats that like to watch the boys play soccer because their coach has a [...]
