Soccer Days

Today was Lauren's last game for this season of AYSO soccer, but not to worry she made it onto the high school team so we have lots of soccer to look forward to. Grandma and Grandpa just happened to stop by after church to visit and decided to stay and go to the field to watch the game with us. Here is a picture of them with Ryan as the game was getting ready to start. It was pretty chilly out today plus very windy so everyone was bundled up.

This is a picture of Lauren's team, she is number 28 in the yellow scrimage shirt. Lauren plays goalie so she has to wear a shirt over her uniform so the ref and other team know she's the goalie.

The coach took her out of goal toward the end of the game since one of the other girls couldn't run due a hurt thigh muscle. So Lauren got to get on the field and run a bit which was a treat to see since she is normally in goal.

This is a picture of Ryan, the red one on the left, at one of his games a couple of weeks ago. He has a funny look on his face but that's ok.

On a different note, I made a couple of quick cards today. I was getting my October birthday cards ready to mail out today and wanted one with a bicycle for my brother and one with a motorcycle for our friend Steve. This is what I came up with, hopefully they'll like them.

That's all for now. Hope everyone is well.

Love, Kim

Galaxy Soccer Game

On September 20th we went to see the Galaxy Soccer game at the Home Depot Center. They have AYSO days which is the league of soccer that both the kids play in each year. The 20th was the night for our region so the kids received free tickets and we bought tickets for the adults. It was lots of fun. I was very excited as it was the first professional sports event I have ever attended. We met up with some friends at the arena. Lauren's team ended up with 7 of the players attending, so the girls of course had a great time. Especially screaming for Beckham.

This is Beckham.

Here is Alan and Lauren's coach, Mark, also a good friend. They look like they're having fun, what's not to like - a beer and a hot dog!!!

Here are the girls that went. From the top left it's Kirsten, Lauren, Hannah, Julia, Taylor, Kimia and the bottom is Abby (she's not on our team but all the girls have played together for 10 years now so they're all friends) and Alexis.

Here is Ryan with Collin

and last but not least here is Alan and I. This of course is taken as a self portrait with the long arm stretch for the picture which is why we look ohhhh soooo lovely.

It was a great night. I definitely can't wait until the next time we go.

Love to all, Kim
