Soccer Girls

Soccer is a sport I never learned when I was a kid, but I am definitely learning now. Matt played really well in his younger days, so one of our kiddos is bound to have soccer blood in their veins. Karley and Kenzie both played this season. Attending 2 games at 2 different times, made for crazy Saturdays, but I love watching my kids play sports!Karley has a passion for soccer and it is written all over her when she is out on the field! She has learned so much this season, including playing her positions well. Karley never made a goal, but she had great assists! Playing against boys is not intimidating to Karley. In one of the above pictures it shows her going up against a boy, who was bigger than her. When they kicked the ball at the same time it made a powerful SMACK...that's my girl!:)Kenzie did pretty good for her first attempt at a sport! She is super fast, which is only a plus in the game of soccer! Early on in the season, I told her I would buy her a candy bar for each goal she made...she got 2 candy bars!:) They both love their medals...that's what it's all about!

You Put A Smile On My Face With The Funny Things You Say

Kenzie got dressed for Kindergarten and she put on a turtle neck. When I asked how she wanted me to do her hair, she insisted I did it like a turtle's!:)

When Kynlee was just 5 years old, she had a friend named Sam. He was over playing one day, and when I asked her what kind of sandwich she wanted she said, "I want Sam...I mean ham!"

Matthew really has his heart set on playing in the NBA. He knows that they play games on Sundays, so his solution to making it to church and taking the sacrament is, "I will just ask my Ward if they can always meet at the early block, and I'll repent on the airplane if it is an away game!"

Mom: "Deep down I don't think it is a good idea."

Karley: "In your feet?"

Kenzie is a polite little girl. I overheard her talking in her sleep one night saying, "No thanks." She even uses her manners while dreaming.

Karley found one of her toys that had been broken and said, "Whoever did this is going to pay the bill!"

Driving over the Glen Canyon Dam on our way down to AZ, Kynlee said, "The beavers must have worked hard on this one!"

When Matthew was 2 yrs. old, we went to the airport to pick Matt up from a work trip. Matthew was looking out the window, watching the airplanes take-off and said, "Look Mom! That airplane is doing a pop-a-wheelie!"

Kenzie likes to pinch our cheeks and say, "You chubby cheeks." One day I had her in the shower with me and she pinched my behind and said, "You chubby butt!"
