Soccer time
It is the time of year for the kids to start playing Spring recreation soccer. Chet has been a coach going on 4 years now for every season of the year. In Fall I was his assistant coach. For Spring I decided I would just be a parent. Then after doing my Arbonne thing at Jessica's house, I received a frantic call from Chet. It seems that too many girls have signed up for his team. So needless to say we need to have 2 teams. Before I knew what was happening, I was signed up and trying to figure out a name for my very own Spring League Team. I am a bit nervous about this. I am not the most patient person when it comes to teaching kids soccer techniques. I tend to be more the disciplinarian. Chet and I will have our teams practice together, but will of course play games at different times. Infact our teams will have to play eachother a few times. It should be fun, and a good test for my Lenten promise of not being judgemental / controlling. Scott will help me coach so that will be neat. Most the girls will want to be on Chet's team I am sure, but I think I will win them over. Chet's team is called the All Stars, so to go along with the theme, although a bit corny, I think we might be the Shooting Stars. What do you think. If I can con my work to supply some uniforms they might be The Honeybucket Stars.

Here I am being a good coach. I can tie a pretty mean shoe.

Bailey was the lucky girl to find the Easter Egg hidden in a "fresh pile". He tends to do that every year!

Wow! This will be a test for your Lent skills :) What age group are these girls? Shooting stars sounds good. Just have fun and don't take it too seriously...you'll be a great coach!
I hope so. They are 10 years old. So I am coaching Kylee's team, I am sure Chet will take Mali though I would love to have her too. I think I will go with The Shooting stars. Aren't you happy I updated my Blog!!
I know I'm happy about the blog update. And I wouldn't be worried about your team. I think maybe you're being a litte judgemental of yourself, perhaps. You're actually a pretty good teacher...even with the heavy handedness. Kids these days are out of control, unparented. They need tough love.
Yay! I love the farm pictures!
Go Marjean! I'm trying like heck to remember the name of our old team.... Maybe I can even catch a game when I'm home this spring.
Karri, I am glad you looked up my page. We were the Praire Giants, though we were the smallest team in the league, those were the good ol' days. When I coach I have a hard time not "jumping in" the game when the ball comes to my sideline. I am serious too, I have actually flinched. I would probably end up on the news if I actually did it.
