Go For The Gold

Anything worth doing is worth doing well!!




Right??!



Didn't your Mom or Dad always tell you that?



We tell our kids that.



Along with practice makes perfect. I think Shea is getting the message.



First off, her friends Brandon and Brianna had a birthday party the day before Halloween. They did fall inspired activities and one of them was bobbing for apples! The kids were excited about this. Shea dove right in there. I think by looking at her face, it was cold!

She dove in again and VIOLA...

She was very happy with her self and we were proud of her for doing it. All the kids loved it. I could not convince Will to try. Smart boy, I guess.

This particular weekend was also the last soccer game. The kids have all worked hard all season long. Shea kept groaning when she'd have to go to practice. I would explain to her that if she wanted to get better and learn more of the game, she had to go. We went.



The kids were undefeated going into this last game. They played "the pink team". This team was good. The game was good! Exciting! I had no voice after, my throat hurt. We parents wanted the kids to finish perfect, just as much as they did. We quickly scored a goal, thankfully! That was the only score of the game. The kids played their hearts out. THEY WON! Champs! Undefeated! The coaches re-warded them with a bowling party. The kids were just as excited about that. Bowling, pizza, cup cakes...

And medals.  Each child received a medal, with our Cosmo's signature purple ribbon and a patch from the league they played in.  That was so nice!!!  Jen and DJ had each of the child's medals engraved.  What a keep sake and fore thought of them to do that! 

All the kids with their medals.  You can tell they are happy.  Who wouldn't be!!?

They had a very exciting season.  We parents were discussing that they may not get the chance to all play together again like this.  The older kids (in second grade) move up to the next league in the fall.  Enjoy it now kids.  This doesn't happen to everyone nor does it happen often.  We are all so proud of you!!!
