Actually our soccer season just ended. And none too soon. Braden had an injury* the morning of our last game and couldn't even play (too much pain killers to walk straight let alone run!). The Sharks had another great season. Of the 16 players we had last season 9 were back again and we got a few new friends, making it a family of players. I have to say our girls players are hands down awesome. We did have one kid who had never played before just tear it up. Amazing that kid was, when he showed up. I loved Wednesday practices because after one afternoon of chasing Berk out of the field and across the entire park 700 times I had the brilliant idea to stay home and have other Mom's spend practice there. So Steph and Randa would come and keep the craziness confined to my house and we had the bonus of chatting time! The kids all play well together, except when Berk threw a wooden building block at Blake- resulting in enough blood for us to summon Pops to see if stitches were needed (nope). Other than that we had so much fun.
The games were always an adventure. Either Berk would or would not run into the field. Generally he did, unless someone was there to entertain him with a ball on a nearby field. And Braden either would or would not decide he liked soccer and either he did or didn't make an effort. Crazy kid.
We just had our end of season party and Coach Rusty got to give out the trophies. I love all these kids- they are so funny! Braden is the oldest on the team and will move up in age bracket so most of them won't play under Rusty anymore. I am super sad!
Berk got a trophy out of the box- he can't wait for his turn to play!
The best Soccer Mom's out there- Randa, me & Steph
We think we may try T-ball next, since there is a lot more sitting and a lot less running- sounds right up Braden's alley!
*Braden's accident-He was riding his electric scooter around the yard and across to the neighbors drive as well and turned to sharp and went right into their rock slicing his pinkie finger in half sideways from his fingernail coming out. It is hard to explain what happened (Pops used the word evulsed---ICK!), and frankly I still can't look at it without throwing up in my mouth. Luckily Rusty's dad has an AMAZING first aid kit and has been patching him up all week. Not so lucky it was his right hand so he has trouble getting dressed, writing and basically everything else. Oh well. BOYS!

Hey Caryn, I am just catching up on Blogs but I wanted to say thanks for the darling necklace. I love it. That was so nice of Rhonda to have you make that for me. Also I loved your Christmas Card.
Sounds like a fun soccer season. Awesome dad to coach!!
I tell you being a nurse and all, I can handle most anything unless it is my kids or my hubby. Hope the little guy is doing okay!
Oh - I hope he gets feeling better and heals okay! When my kids start crying the "hurt cry" and I see blood, I have to look the other way. I can't stand it! I'm always so afraid to see what happened. :(
