random post

I think I may have forgotten how to take pictures.  I can't remember the last time I even used our camera.  That means no soccer pictures, no pictures from what we've been up to, and makes updating the blog BORING!  Perhaps I will try to remember this while we are out and about enjoying activities and friends. Note to self....stop sucking at this...

These are the random pictures I find on my phone after a car ride with Jake

Alyssa's last picture before braces

Brace Face! First picture with braces.  Still sitting in the chair at the orthodontist office.

Alyssa was asked to guest play for Albion this past weekend.  Her club isn't playing in a  tournament for three weeks so she was excited to have the opportunity to play.  This was the first time she has done this so it was new to all of us. Love that the first thing the coach says to her after showing up to the first game was why aren't you on my team yet.  This is the same coach that asked her to play last year.


It was fun listening to the parents talk on the sidelines that recognized her.  One of their defenders is a player Lis has gone against for several years.  Her dad told me, "Finally these girls are on the same team.  Whenever we would play against her I would always tell her just stay on her, keep her covered or else she's going to score." She had a blast playing.  She was even offered a spot in the two different carpool groups that run from our neighborhood if she would be willing to play on their team. Very flattering for her. She scored and/or assisted in every single game and had an overall great tournament. So fun to watch her play her old position. She was right at home.

Maya and her family came to watch several games. So sweet!  Maya also plays for Albion so she showed her support in her team gear.

And the Woodworths too!

Fun tournament. The girls were amazing as was the coach. They won all four games and placed first. She had the best time.  I even had to bring back, Go, Baby!!!
