MP #2 vs. Bethel

Saturday we played a Bethel soccer team. The buddies both played extremely well and we were blessed to have Landon's mom, my sister-in-law and her little girl to come and watch. Unfortunately, we lost, but the buddies were on fire, especially G. On the way to warm up, the coach thanked me for spiking G's hair so she could tell them apart. After the game they were so hot they both poured water all over their heads to cool off. You guessed it, G's hair fell down. The coach came up to tell him great job and stopped. "Great job G!", she said to S. "Wait.....who is G.....what happened to your hair? I'll never be able to tell you guys apart!", she said looking at me and laughing.

First Soccer Game 2011

We had our first soccer game of the fall season. The uniforms had not arrived so we were black and white. As was the other team, lol.
Even though we have moved up to the next age level, it appears there will always be a grass picker in every group. :)

Last Soccer Game

Saturday was our last soccer games of the 2010 season. Whew, it was way too long. We were all glad it was over, lol.
The kids and the coaches. Frontrow: Leland, Lena, Amber, Knox, Gage, Madison, Xerses, and Stone. Backrow: Colton, Kayla and Dillon.
Showing off their medals.
Cheesing it up. We get this week off and then basketball season starts.

Sam's

I have got to take a moment to brag about Sam's Optical care. When soccer started, we were told that Wyatt would not be allowed to wear his glasses on the field. I called Cabarrus Eye Center (our normal eye care people) and was told they could not see him until the end of October. Who do they think they are.....the dentist? Sheesh. I told them that was no good and why he needed to see the doc ASAP. But she didn't budge. So I called Sam's. The lady caught me off-guard by saying...how soon could you be here? So I signed Wyatt out of school at 12:30 and headed to Concord. We walked right on in. The only problem we had was Wyatt understanding the lady's very New York accent. She said, "Why-att....can ya reed the bwad?" "Hummm?" was his reply. I tried to contain my laughter. He later told me he wasn't sure if she was speaking English. Then we saw the eye doctor. We walked through a door into Sam's and ordered the Rec Specs and new lenses for his current school frames. And in 40 minutes we were back in the car. He only missed one block of school. It was absolutely awesome. And to Cabarrus Eye Center I say.....you have lost a few customers. Oh, Sam's just called, the glasses are in. Two days! Again, awesome.
