St. Paul Soccer tournament

The past four days have been a blur of soccer! I know people think we have time for nothing else but we actually do squeeze in a million other things on the weekend, like dinner with friends, cleaning rooms, shampooing rugs, going to parties, dancing to the dj, watching fireworks, working the beer cart (too fun C, thanks for driving over all the bumps!) going out to a sit down lunch as a family, washing the cars, getting new tires on the mini cooper, sleepovers (yes again, i am a sucker), etc! Etc! Etc!

This week we also had a fabulous evening and dinner out with Chris' Uncle Danny and Aunt Nikki who I have not seen in 10 years. They have not changed a bit and are as funny and friendly and loving as ever. Our kids who don't really remember them at all fell completely in love with them and performed, sang, dance and generally talked their ears off until I know they left exhausted!! I see a CA trip in out future so we can see them again (and not in 10 more years)!!!

And ok, ok, ok we spent a lot, A LOT of time at the soccer fields too! Kristen's team ended up runner ups in the 8th grade tournament. They won their B division bracket but lost to the A division team 3-0 in the championship game. It was sweet and sad as this will be her last St Paul tournament as next year she is on to high school. She was very upset, but came back graceful as ever and we could not be more proud of her as a person or a soccer player, she is so talented in so many ways!

Kate and Wil both won their championship games 4-0! Kate had some amazing saves as a defender. Wil played goalie and made saves that did not seem possible!

Chris and I had Three kids in championship games today (what other person can claim that?)who played their hearts out, their passion and sportsmanship make me proud to be their mom!!! WTG St. Paul!!
