Sand Dragons FC

Fran's team is doing really well this season and will be playing for first place in outdoor next month. We have a really good time at the games and the kids all have friends to play with.

 Fran has even tied with the most goals scored ever in the league! We had a "friendsgiving" at the field before Thanksgiving.

Francis also plays indoor twice a week and just won another Championship with his team. The range from 42-50 years old and they play teams in their 20's. Awesome job Sand Dragons!!

Random October

I've been busy sitting at soccer practices with my other soccer mom friends.

My Mom and I went up to Dewey to visit Cody, Ashly, and Bodhi. We stopped at Anthem for lunch and snapped a picture

Francis has been playing soccer on Sundays so we have fun at the field with friends after the game

I've been helping in Kora's classroom and went to lunch a few times with her

Snoho Tournament

Francis went up to Washington to play in a tournament with his team in July. He had a great time until he broke his collar bone, tore his rotator cuff and some whiplash from being tackled by a crazy 300 lb. dude on the other team. But he had fun with his friends and loved Washington.

Happenings.....

Francis and I forgot to celebrate our anniversary so 3 weeks later we finally found the time to go out for a delicious dinner at Flemmings. Seriously, I had the best lobster mac n cheese EVER!

 I met up for a girl's day with my good friends from high school and we had a nice lunch and headed over to watch a chick flick. 

 Kali got her hair done professionally for the first time & looks SO grown up! She will be a teenager on May 22nd!

 There is a teacher walkout right now so no sub jobs for me and no school for the kids. Kai went to a soccer camp for one of the days.

 some of his teammates were there and they had a good time. Kali went to wet n wild with a friend that day too.

 Kora and I went to Costco and watched the boys for a little bit.

 Kora has been LOVING her soccer season! She scored a goal in each of her last two games. She is a great defender and is not afraid to knock a person off the ball. We are so proud of her.

 And, last but not least.,,,,,,Francis' soccer team won the SUASL (Scottsdale United Amateur Soccer League) 40+ Championship. This is a BIG deal because this has been Fran's goal for 2 1/2 years now. After coming in 2nd place 4 times the team was SOOO happy. This is such a great group of guys on and off of the field. Go Sand Dragons!

Just kickin' it

We went to Mr. Beckers game on Sunday. It was nice weather, perfect for being outside.

Here is Kai watching Daddy play soccer in the same tree he was sitting in when he got hit with the ball. I gues this kid isn't a fast learner....luckily he did not get hit with the ball this time.

Francis is #5

Mr. Becker's fans!!

We went to watch Mr. Becker play soccer this weekend and Kai got a little bored after he ran out of snacks.

So, I gave him my camera and he took pics of his shoes....

the trees.....



the soccer ball.....

and Mr. Becker's cheering section (me, Kali & Grandma Kathi)

and he took 30 more pics but you get the point ;)

Busy Saturday

We had a busy day yesterday.

First, Francis woke up and went to soccer practice.

Then, I took Kali to a birthday party and then it was straight to the soccer game.

After that we were all hungry so we took the kids to dinner at Flamingo Palace--yum! And, dessert at Yogurtini.

When we got home the kids wanted to do some Yoga so we watched a Yoga class for kids online.

It was a busy day, so it was nice to wind down with some Yoga.

I just love spending the day with my little family :)

Our very own Becks

This past Sunday we got up bright and early to see Mr. Becker & his team play in the championship game! Kai brought a breakfast burrito.

#16 is our guy!
The game was pretty boring (seriously soccer is lame-o) but they won 4-0. When the game was (finally) over Kali said, "hey that one guy took his shirt off".
Guess who that one guy was??
Our very own Becks.

(he is one of the only guys I know that looks better without a shirt on)
Even thought I don't understand soccer I was really proud of him :)
Daddy and his team
VENDETTA!

Did I mention we just signed Kali up for soccer?? It's going to be one LONG season.
But on a happy note, Francis is her coach & I got her the cutest soccer ball & socks you've ever seen!

V for Vendetta

Mr Becker is playing soccer again.

He took an almost 20 year break.

I know you are probably thinking good looking, smart, athletic, great dad, handy around the house...where did she find this guy?

I am one lucky gal :)

But I have to be honest.

Soccer is SO boring.

Luckily I love this guy ;)
