BIG SOCCER DAY and DAY 1 of our blog

Today was a big day in our household. A day to remember and a day to scrap! Haley has spent the last two weekends from 8 am to 9:30 AM (brrrr) trying out for a select soccer spot on the only U10 girls team in our town. Yesterday her softball pics were scheduled for 8:55! Ugh we were stressed because the soccer coaches has suggested that ev We everyone attend all for tryouts! We got up early an got to the high school soccer field 15 min early. She ran right out and started doing the dribble through the cones while I explained to him that we really needed to leave early to get the pics taken. Coach Steve told me to go ahead and leave now, it will be fine. Hummm I pondered it all day. Does this mean he is going to take her or does he already know he ISN'T going to take her??? Oh man. We did the pep talk about 'if you don't make it things will be fine etc' BUT! She did make it and he told her he knew the first day he saw her play that she'd make the team!!! YEAH...it's an exciting day here.Other happenings: Ed had to drive to Truckee three times this weekend to help Mike. He moved there from Florida this month and then the transmission on his truck went out! Geez, when will his bad luck stop! Soon I hope. I am going to try to post a few pics everyday for awhile so everyone can catch up on the great pics that Mandy is takeing. She has started up her photog business and we all wish her the best. She really is talented. And aren't we lucky to have a good photographer in the family again LOL She didn't take the bad ones!!
