Go Dragons! (Part 3)

Trey made the 4th/5th grade soccer A team!  As one of only 1.5 Americans, one of only 3 4th graders and the tiniest player in the whole tournament, he helped his team win 1st place against teams from all over the country.  In the 6 games the team played, he allowed only 1 goal against them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Right after the final whistle of the final game...

 One of Trey's teammates is the son of this guy, Raul.  As in Raul one of Spain's greatest soccer players ever.   Really.  Goals in the world cup, Real Madrid, awesome soccer player.  He now plays for a local team.  He'd come out to watch his son and they invited him to award the medals.  Trey just giggled when he saw him.  At one point Raul found Trey and asked, "So, best keeper ever, huh?"  I guess he'd heard LOTS of soccer talk around his dinner table like we had!

Pretty sure that's how that commandment goes.

A New One For Us!

We celebrated the end of soccer season by signing up for swim team!

We've still got baseball going on but since the games are right across the street from where the kids swim it hasn't been too crazy.  We can have some kids swimming and some baseballing at the same time.

Saturday was their first meet.  Luckily we've got some seasoned swimming pro friends that helped us maneuver the chaos.

Trey and Bailey did great.  Jack enjoyed the show. Ty was home with strep (he'll have his swim debut in a couple of weeks I guess).

A Birthday Explanation...

Out of order? Maybe.  But birthday season around here gets busy.  For the record, Ty's birthday is in December (3days after Peyt's), Jack's in January, Bailey (and Robert) in February, and Trey in March. That totally gives me permission to post them all at the same time.  Happy Birthday, family!

Trey Turns 9

First Day of School (for two, at least)

#3 and #4 are starting 2nd and 3rd. Old. So very, very old (them, not me. I'm in denial)

Trey and Bailey were selected to perform in this year's talent show.  After much deliberation, they chose to perform "Dynamite".  They did a great job and by the end of it had the whole school singing along.  They've already started planning for next year.

Trey and Tyler played both soccer and baseball this spring. Too hard to choose, we let them do both knowing that spring soccer is pretty relaxed. Tyler once again played on the team I coached as well as practicing with and regularly guest playing for 2 other teams. This meant that with occasional double headers, he played as many as 5 games in a single day.

And what do Jack and Bailey do during all this? Jack is perfectly content with a bag full of super heroes, cars, and a ring pop and sno-cone from the concession stand.

Bailey was never without little gal pals who also tagged along to big brothers' games. It meant frequent play dates with some of her best friends from school and girl scouts. Not a bad way to spend an evening!
