And the team Ethan played was seriously competitive complete with pushing during throw-ins and pulling during break aways. It was something that you hear about but we hadn't witnessed it until this weekend. Of course the kids didn't seem to notice except Ethan who got mauled by the "attacker" on the other team and promptly told the coach of the other team who happened to be the referee. Then he actually talked to the boy. It's interesting. Does this happen all over the country? Or is it just here where people get really intense about winning?
I want to let you know that I played sports growing up, I have a healthy competitive nature and like to win and so does Buck. But at what point do you have to say, this is a crazy way to behave? I don't know. Just observations from a side-line mom. :) But, the kids are liking it and that's all that matters, right? Right. And they're exercising so that's good too. So, here's the pictures from last weekend.
And in other news, I'm scheduling my C section for the 24th of September. We are super excited to meet this little boy that I've known needed to be part of our family for so long. As you can tell I've nearly finished the nursery. I'm just waiting for a slipcover for the chair and ottoman and a few odds and ends. But, I have my bags packed and am for the most part ready for my life to change big time!!! Back to diapers and midnight feedings. Anyone is welcome to visit us on Saturday the 25th and meet little no-name Cash, I'll be at Ogden Regional. And if you have any good name suggestions for this little one leave a comment because we are still up in the air!

It is funny how competitive some parents are on their children's behalf. If they only knew how they looked and sounded to the rest of us. HAHAHA.
Seth was born on the 24th. It's always been a fun time for a birthday. Hope everything goes well...I'm so excited for you. We miss you guys.
Oh man I love those fish!!! I have sucha good idea now for the girls room! They have to share. :) How did you put them on the wall? Glue?
Glad the kids like the soccer! Hopefully the parents take it easy!
Double sided tape! But I'm not sure how well it's going to stay, a strong breeze could send them sailing... :)
The good news is most parents aren't like that. There are always a few crazies out there, though.
Love the fish.
How's the contractions? I'm assuming since I haven't heard from you that you are still pregnant! (And if you're not, you're in BIG trouble!)
Love you!
Yes it is! For one its hilarious and quite rediculous that you actually had to sign something like that....but in Abe group last year the younger ones, it was good, easy. But this year, Blaize, witht he 8 and 9...WOW! There is a little shoving and some of the coaches are really really into it......got the clip boards and everything.....our coach is chill, we do alright. My problem is watching Blaize and squelching my competitive nature... I have to remind myself of his age!! I just want him to get out there and tear it up....yikes. I think I need to get some adult league here for myself is what it is....LOL
