Four games= four wins!

Today we had four soccer games. The day started out with two games at 8:30, which meant us leaving our house at 7:45 am. Noah and Aiden had games at the same time, so Aiden went to his game, and the rest of us were four fields over at Noah's game. Noah scored a goal and his team won 4 to 3. The other team came on strong during the first quarter and then our kids kicked butt and came back in the second quarter to tie the game and then scored one last time in the final quarter to win it! That's two for two for Noah's team. Unfortunately, since the games were at the same time, Jason and I did not get to see Aiden play, but grandma and grandpa were there for the second half. Aiden's team has had a difficult first few games. We have been beaten pretty badly. But today was a different story. Aiden, I was told, was awesome today. He assisted a goal with a perfect pass to an open player by the goal who scored. We ended up winning that game 2 to 1. Their very first win, and , boy were they excited. Then at 11:00 am we ventured over to Jinelle's game. She had told her dad that she wanted to score five goals this game, since she scored three her first game and four her second game. Well, we stopped counting her goals when she hit 8. We are estimating she made about 12 goals, give or take a few.....and she only played for half the game, which is a whole 14 minutes. She basically ran the field. If she was on the field, she was scoring. Then we finished up the day with Ari's game at 12:00 pm. Ari's team is pretty good. Not the best, but better than most. Ari was excited to play against one of her new school friends, Madison. They have been talking about when they play eachother. Ari was even more excited when she scored, and Madison was the goalie. Her team ended up winning 4 to 2. She was a very good sport and went over and told Madison good game. The entire walk to the car they were talking and giggling about how fun it was to play against eachother.
So all in all, it was a good game day. Four games, four wins, four happy kids. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera in all the hustle to get out of the house this morning. Hopefully I can remember next week. Ari has a bye next week, so no game for her. But the following week (While I am gone at Time Out For Women, Las Vegas) she has a double header and the other kids all have games as well....which means Jason and my dad have five games to attend and coach!
