COACH DAVE
dave volunteered to help out with abe's soccer team and they put him as head coach. he is doing a great job. it's the first time he has coached any of our kids. he enjoys planning out the practices, the line-ups, making up plays with abe, and most of all wearing tiger orange! they finally won a game. abe scored three goals and everyone worked hard...one kid played so hard that he threw up after the game. go tigers!!
blue thunder
goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal!!!
kai made 15 goals! 
kai is on the blue thunder soccer team...it is his first time on a team and he is loving it! he wears his jersey pretty much 24/7, counts down the time until his practice, and he is the first one ready for games on saturdays (working the hardest to get shin guards and those big soccer socks on.) at this age the teams don't keep score but kai knows and informs me at every water break. last game blue thunder won 20 to 1 with kai, who didn't ease up at all, scoring 15...it gave us a chance to focus on having a humble, good sportsman-ish attitude and getting some assists. it pays to have to keep up with an eight year old brother all the time and it's a huge bonus that this age division plays with no goalie.

(this is a little confusing because both teams wore blue...blue thunder vs blue whales)
NICE EFFORT, KAI!!!

mother-daughter book club
i'm happy to say our mother-daughter book club is still happening. a few nights ago sadie and i hosted. sadie chose for us to read the sixth harry potter book. we met at the theater and watched the movie...sadie and her friend dressed up in their griffindor robes but then got embarrassed and shoved them in their bags--it was such a tween moment:) after the movie we headed back to our house where dinner had suddenly appeared (thanks to dave) and we discussed the movie vs the book. we drank butter beer (root-beer/creme soda floats) and ate all-flavor jellybeans. it was a fun night and a great group of girls/moms.
random things
life seems to be moving pretty fast and i haven't recorded a few moments that i always want to remember. if i don't write them down, they will forever flee my mind and be lost. so... here is my random list that won't make much sense to anyone but me, but hopefully will spark a memory in years to come. maybe some day when life stands still i will add a few details.
kachina ceremony at old oraibe
max's stitches
moab trip, hiking to delicate arch with my mom
camping at joshua tree national park, laguna beach and the aquarium
"nong"-- the word max says for water
abe asking dave if he and adam had been using his skateboard
our first trip to a skate park
kai's first soccer game, the first play, goal and cute look.."what? no goalie, that will be so easy!"
max and hopscotch
max swimming
dave and the "hot daddies"
