Auntie Eleen took this photo of Janie and her two soccer buddies, Zoe and Aliya, at Saturday soccer clinic.
Last Day of Soccer
Today, Team Spain had their last game of the season. Janie did a great job as goalie (that’s her making the save) and almost scored at goal!
She had a lot of hustle and good footwork today.
After the game, the team met up at Linguini’s for a pizza party. Coach Henon also handed out trophies to all the girls.
Peanut sat with his buddy Evan while he ate his lunch.
We also got a cute photo of Zoe and Janie together. It was fun having Uncle Jimmy as our assistant coach this season!
As a special treat, Mama and Auntie Eleen walked Janie, Zoe, Peanut, and Aliya to the game store down the street. They have Pokemon card dispensers there!
For 75 cents, you can get 5 Pokemon cards from the machine. So fun!
We are so proud of our big girl. It was her first time playing on a soccer team and she made some big improvements throughout the season. She was also selected to play in the All-Star game in December but we will be in Hawaii that day. It’s too bad she won’t get to play but we still couldn’t be any prouder.
Soccer Game
Peanut hung out with Evan in the wagon today while Janie played in the soccer match.
Auntie Eleen caught this cool photo of Janie in action.
Official Soccer Photo
Here is Janie’s official soccer photo. We think the one Mama took came out better so we didn’t order.
The team photo came out well though!
Busy Saturday
Mama kinda overdid it today. We had a bunch of make-ups to do and they all got scheduled on the same day as Janie’s soccer game.
It started with make-up kung fu classes for both kids at 10:00 and 10:45.
Then it was off to Aquatech for swim make-ups for both kids at 12:00pm. We barely had time to grab lunch so we stopped for burritos on the way home and ate in the car.
Peanut was so tired that he fell asleep in the middle of eating his burrito. Poor guy. Once we got home, Janie had just enough time to change into her soccer stuff and Peanut continued to nap in the car parked in the garage.
We arrived at the soccer field by 1:50 to warm up for the 2:20 game.
Peanut enjoyed being a spectator and trading Pokemon cards with Evan.
Janie did well considering she was so tired from a full day of activity. However, her fuse was pretty short at one point and did better once she was moved over to Uncle Jimmy’s team to finish out their game as goalie.
Mama knows better than to schedule so many back-to-back activities in one day. We were so done after soccer that we also canceled on our dinner plans.
Soccer Practice
First Soccer Game
Team Spain had their first soccer game and it was against Uruguay. Janie played goalie for part of the game and then got to kick the ball around for the other part of the game.
We brought our chairs and wagon for a full-on sideline experience with everyone.
Peanut also rode his Strider around on the baseball field.
Here’s a photo of the team in their uniform! Uncle Henon and Uncle Jimmy are the coaches this season and everyone got a pair of matching red socks with paw prints on them. We will wear them at all future games together.
First Soccer Practice
Janie had her first soccer practice today and had a good time!
We are officially a soccer family!!

Good Times
Peanut seems to have a lot of fun at school. In the morning, he played soccer with his pals.
In the afternoon, he made bagel pizzas.
