Soccer Weekend

Last weekend was another soccer filled weekend for both Everly and myself. Everly had a game Saturday morning and won and then I went straight from her game to my 6 v6 tournament. I wasn't really quite sure how far we were going to go in the tournament but we ended up winning the whole thing. Not bad considering we barely put the team together just earlier in the week. I was soooo exhausted by the end of the last game. They were short games but we had like 6 I think. I had just enough time after we won to get one quick beer with the team before heading over to Everly's second game for the day. She won her second game as well but really didn't seem to get involved as much as I would have liked. Sunday morning we woke up to rain and her game was delayed an hour. I needed that extra sleep. She played much better in her last game. She had one goal and several other shots that were just wide. I just wish it didn't take her 3 games to warm up!

Aspen comes for the donuts!

Such a fun weekend with these guys!

Soccer Pictures

I finally got Everly's soccer pictures in. I wasn't going to order any but they were so cute and it is her first year playing competitive soccer so I ended up ordering them. She has really been liking soccer so far this year. She has a tournament coming up next weekend so I am excited to see how well she does. It kind of goes back and forth with her. Sometimes she has really good weeks and other weeks she seems to not get involved much. Although, even when I don't think she is doing that great, she always wants to go to her practices and games. She loves the girls she plays with and that is what is most important at the end of the day, right?

Weekend in Review

Last weekend we had a quick soccer filled couple of days. On Friday night we went to my nephews football game. The girls had fun playing together and watched almost none of the actual game. Saturday morning Everly had a soccer game. She played really well and scored 1 goal that she really had to earn. After her game I went straight out to my soccer game. I played in a 4v4 tournament at Octoberfest in Tempe. It was fun but pretty hot. We started out really well and won our first 4 games and then lost in the quarterfinals. After we lost we headed over to get some beers. It was fun having some German beers and hanging out for a bit. Saturday night Justin took Everly to her first Coyotes NHL game. They got free tickets, free hats, $1 hot dogs and $1 beers so they had a fun night. Aspen and I met my dad at Freddy's for dinner since he was in town. She was funny and kept saying "look at me Grandpa." Sunday morning I got up and knocked out an 11 mile run and then kept it pretty low-key the rest of the day. We went grocery shopping, did some cleaning and homework and watched the Cardinals game. It was a great little weekend!

Weekend in Review

Last weekend was filled with soccer and running. I had a game on Friday night and then Saturday morning Everly had two games. We had been kind of struggling with seeing much aggression from her. She loves playing and never complains about going to practice or anything. She just wasn't getting that involved out on the field. During her second game though, something clicked and she scored 6 goals. It wasn't like the other team was bad or anything she just was in the right spot and knew where to put the ball. I think it was much more fun for her and it was definitely more fun for me to watch. Sunday morning I had a 10-mile run with my sister for our half training. The weather was perfect. We taper down this week to only 7 miles so that will be nice. Sunday night we had dinner at my sister's and it was a great end to the weekend.

She played the club that I used to play for!

Weekend in Review

I had a lot planned last weekend so I took off Monday in advance because I have a lot of time to use before the end of the year and I also wanted to have some extra time with the girls. On Friday I left work and went straight to my sister-in-laws for dinner before we saw Death Cab for Cutie at a new venue downtown, The Van Buren. It was an awesome show although it felt like it went by really fast. The next morning I took the girls to Everly's soccer game and then we hit up the mall on the way home. It was actually really good to spend most of Saturday alone with them since I was going to be gone again Saturday night. Saturday I went out with my sister-in-law to our friend's birthday party. It was Disco themed and we had a blast. We drank way too much champagne but it was seriously such a fun night. On Monday Aspen and I had some alone time and it was really nice. We went to Costco and story time and picked up lots of new books for her sister to read. It was a great long weekend and I have a short week before another long weekend next weekend!
