Samantha & her friend Ashley! Their shirts say "SF Soccer Champs"Sam is not our best smiler, but we love her anyways!
Here in SF Utah after 3rd grade sports are not for fun they are for competition! Starting in 3rd grade you are drafted onto a team, some sports you have to tryout for also. Everyone makes it, but they kids do learn that everyone does not always win! Which is true in the world too! Anyhow, Sam's team Ambush won 1st place in the girls 3-4 grade level (against 7 other teams). Sam was a great goalie, surprising for her tiny size her first practice her coach called her the little-big goalie. She didn't love that until I explained to her that is was a compliment. Ashlynn's in 1st grade so she still played for fun!! She is a great defender, and a quick forward she almost got a goal a few times. Both girls played their hearts out, we missed a few games with our trips and family things but with 2-3 games a week per girl it's hard to make them all. Way to go girls!!

WOW!!! You have posted a lot since last time I checked, your kids are so cute. I bet you are happy soccer is over, that was a lot of work I bet. I still need to come and see you steps.
Good Job girls. I bet even though you were competing for first place it was still fun to play.
It'll be fun to know how your chore chart works out.
