Jake and Baylee are both playing soccer this fall which keeps us busy. I am busy running the kids to practice, washing their stinky uniforms, trying to keep track of their cleats, shin guards and balls, and always making sure they have their water bottles filled. It brings back a lot of memories when I was a kid. Jake counts the days until the next practice and the next game. He is an aggressive little player. At one of his first games, his friend, Ty, was on the other team and they were talking trash to each other. After Jake had scored a goal, he walked up to Ty, chest to chest and said, "Who's the boss now?" I know he does not get that from me, he must get it from Travis. Baylee loves soccer also and has improved a ton from last year. We are still trying to get her to be a little more aggressive during the games, last week we said we would pay her for every goal she made. Money always works with Baylee and she ended up scoring 3. Travis thought we needed to be fair with Jake and do the same thing, I was nervous because the week before he had scored 6 goals, luckily for us he only scored 3. It is fun and we are loving every minute of it! I also am still playing on an indoor women's soccer team. Every time I leave for a game Travis tells me I better not get hurt. I can be a little competitive and pushy.

There is nothing wrong with being a Soccer Mom, Football Mom, Basketball Mom, or Baseball Mom...at least it keeps us all out of trouble! But I could do without the extra laundry, homework in the car or packing dinner to sit at one game, eat and wait for the next game to start! At least we are all in this together! :) P.S. our moto..."Kick Butt, Take Names Later!" J/K
