Fire Foxes season has come to an end. Last season I remember the end couldn't come soon enough. It almost felt painful. Now I realize we experienced that for a reason. Without it, Secorra and I wouldn't have talked our fabulous husbands into coaching this year. It was all meant to be. I can't say enough positive things about the coaches. Aron and Sebastian outdid themselves. The girls all learned so much and had so much fun along the way. The enthusiasm at each and every game and each and every practice was evident. The girls dominated the season. The other teams only averaged less than one goal a game against the Fire Foxes all season. The girls ended the season with 4 shut-out games in a row and averaged over 10 goals a game. Just a side bragging note, my daughter scored the most goals on her team all season! Go baby! (I have also just been informed by my husband that yelling go baby is embarrassing and I possibly need to stop doing so....LAME) I'm so proud of Alyssa for overcoming what must have been some sort of mental "thing" at the beginning of the season and making her big comeback. Her love for the game is back!
Fire Foxes
After every goal the Fire Foxes scored they all hustled right back for another kick off. Always ready to go!
Season number 4 with the Getty's. Best season yet! Way to go Coach Aron and Sebastian!
We celebrated the end of the season on Sunday with their team party. It was so fun to see the girls get their trophies and end of year surprises. I even said a few sappy words about my husband and soccer husband. Why can't I ever get through saying anything nice without crying?The girls sang happy birthday fire foxes to themselves with their cake. What a funny group of girls, and better yet, what an overall great group of girls! I think all the kids, parents included, all made friends along the way. What more can you ask for?!?!? Well to be together again next season of course!
Girls singing happy birthday Fire Foxes, so silly!

Alyssa's Auntie K and Cathy came for a nice visit. I can't believe I don't have a single picture to post of their trip. I'm really slacking these days. Cathy hasn't seen Alyssa since she was 3! My how times have changed. Looking forward to heading their way in April for spring break. Last time we were there we celebrated Alyssa's 3rd birthday, this time we will celebrate her 8th! Yikes, how can that be?!?!!? Sniff sniff...
While Auntie K was visiting, Sebastian took Jakey to the desert. Went for a night, came back for soccer and headed back for another night. Jakey could hardly wait to go back. He apparently loves the desert. So obvious he didn't get that from me. He loved playing in the dirt and loves telling the story how the dune buggy got stuck in the sand and he had to call Papa Walt to save them. While they were away, Alyssa spent the night at her Nana's and mom was home all alone! That has never happened. My house was so completely quiet I actually sat in the dark allby myself enjoying the piece and quiet. I was even so kind to share my quiet house with Secorra for an evening of adult conversation and wine. It was like a vacation in my own home! If that is what a desert weekend entails I'm so IN!
Jakey's "buggy", same color as dad's
Apparently throwing dirt in the desert is hours of fun
Alyssa, Jake and I headed to Build-a-Bear Saturday night to meet some friends for some mom-kid time while the dads headed to the football game. Before we left Sebastian gave the kids the same speech he always does, "no sound, no clothes. Repeat after me, no sound, no clothes." Needless to say Alyssa talked her way into a FULLY clothed bear and Jakey couldn't have a Star Wars bear without the music. Jake only has one other Build-a-Bear, Camo. How is it with so many animals in that store to choose from he heads straight to the bear he already has. Luckily I talked him out of it, but couldn't talk him out of naming his new bear the same exact name as his other bear...CAMO. He's going to be the kid that names all his pets the same thing regardless of its species.
