The Shooting Stars

Kate played soccer for The Shooting Stars. She was really excited about the name because it is the one that she voted for. It was also an exciting year because they were undefeated! It would have been a great season regardless of the name or record because they got pink and blue uniforms, and when you are 7 that is just really cool!

Warming up before the game.
Another pizza party!

The Pirate Sharks


The Three Little Hens is back! I have a new dedication to get this blog updated and stay updated! Remind me of that when I fall a month behind again:)

Another year of soccer has come and gone. Three months of Saturdays sacrificed, but the kids LOVE it and so we press forward, signing them up year after year. This was Buzzy's first year of "official" team soccer where they practice once a week and games on Saturdays. In the years he has played before, it has all been on Saturday only. He looked forward to practice every week and of course the games. Since Buzzy doesn't have any brothers, I think he espcially loves it because it is his guy time, where they wrestle and hang out..........a brotherhood of sorts. We got lucky because two of his friends from his primary class were on his team which made it all the better. At the beginning of the season there was disention in the ranks as to what to call the team. Half of the boys wanted "The Pirates" the other half wanted "The Sharks".........I know you are awed at the creativity of these names and I will tell you that at least half of the teams we played were named after some variety of shark species. So the coach made the executive decison to name them "The Pirate Sharks" which was perfect and actually made for a really cute banner.
Buzzy is in the middle.

Better than actually playing the game was the ice cold Gatorade waiting at the sidelines.
End of the season pizza and trophy party. Buzz told me the reason he played soccer was to get the trophy and he was pretty excited about it.
Another year come and gone..................and yes we will be back for more next year, after all, it's all about the trophy!
