What else was cool was he was told this evening he made 2nd chair out of 22 sax players. Good work!

I have to say I really enjoyed it and it brought back many good memories for me….

The coach has nick named the team “Navy Seals” because the league created the color bracket Navy for this team since they are all new to select soccer. Navy is the lowest color bracket.

Much to all our surprise the girls made it to the playoffs by finishing in 3rd for the season and in this tournament went to the finals and came in 2nd. (see other post about Goal or no goal for the truth on if they were the 2nd place team or not :-) )

Jeanee did some great work on the photo from the tournament with the team and we printed it out and gave it to all the players. Good times!!!

The ref thought no :-( But the ref is wrong so congrats to Krystal on her 1st soccer tourney goal…

(30 years ago.. shh, I was not supposed to put that on here :-) )

The more incredible thing about the dress is that Jeanee’s mom made it for her.

Hershey, our young black lab a couple summers ago had a serious problem with the lawn mower. She has since almost grown out of this habit :-)

This year we left a couple rows to shade the tomatoes. It does not look like a lot of work but it is a good workout for the entire family.
