Soccer Mom and proud of it.

It was fun to have all our kids on "blue teams" this season.

The Saturday before Thanksgiving, the kids had their last soccer games. They were both at 9 am and even though we were leaving for Utah that day we decided to stay for them. I headed to Hanna and Carter's (their on the same team), and Jared who has been an assistant coach headed for Jake's game. Carter was playing awesome! He has improved a ton over this season and last spring. Anyway, he got a break away and scored an amazing goal!! I was so proud, that I started crying and screaming like one of those crazy banshee parents. I immediately called jared on the cell phone and told him. He was so excited and sad since he missed it. You see this was Carter's first goal after many seasons. He has been a great defender and goalie for years, but just recently has learned how to be an amazing forward.
The story doesn't end there.... 5 minutes later Jared calls me on the cell phone to tell me Jake just scored a goal too!! This was also Jake's first goal of the year. We were so proud too, since most of the season we have watched him play pretend games on the field and occasionally kick the ball when it worked into his schedule or happened to be nearby. Crazy!! Hanna was sad she didn't get to join in all the fun, but played great all season. Needless to say, we were glad we stayed for the last games. I love this sport, some of my happiest moments have been on a soccer field....and it just keeps getting better for this soccer mom.
