Speedsters!

I have been very remiss in not writing about the best indoor soccer team EVER!  The Speedsters!

Just a few stats: 

• The team record was 8 and 0, including 2 or 3 come from behind victories.
• Speedsters scored 40 goals and allowed only 13.
• Voted most colorful uniforms and best loyal fans (check out our cool socks!)

My dad (yes, Mr. Soccer Hall of Famer) was the head coach, and Joanie & I assisted.  We had two sets of cousins on the team (Anna & Alison plus Courtney & Megan).  I have yet to coach a team that played so hard, never complained, hustled & were so nice & sweet to each other.  It was so fun & exciting!!  Unfortunately, I had a "moment" during one game that Joanie will never let me live down.  I can't help when my competitiveness gets the best of me. 

Dad was so organized, thoughtful, skilled & amazing the whole time. I did hear some major competitiveness in his voice at most games.  He was awesome & we couldn't have done it without him.  I hope the girls keep this memory forever of their Grandpa coaching them.  So cool!

After the last game & an undefeated season!

Cute & competitive cousins!

Amazing End to Basketball Season

Incredible day of basketball!!  The girls made it to the finals of the B/C tournament, and they lost 7-6 (I know, it sounds like a softball score!) It was an intense game with serious defense from both teams.  We had so many shots that went around the rim but would not go in.  Unfortunately our tallest girl, Gabby, broke her arm in the 1st 2 minutes of the game which shook up the team for a bit.  Even though we lost, the girls were very proud of their performance on the court.  Now, on to softball.....

I'm downloading pictures as I write this blog....

Obsessed

I love the show, Parenthood, and I am obsessed with it!  I will not miss it on Tuesday nights at 9pm, and I can't believe I did not watch Season 1.  I actually purchased Season 1, and I am in the process of watching one episode a night.  It is my treat every night!!  If you need a good show to watch, then you need to start tuning in every week.  It is funny & dramatic & so real & just plain awesome.  My sisters told me to watch it last season, and now I may listen to them more often.  They know what they are talking about!  Ha Ha!

If this show gets canceled, I may lose my mind....
