Sports Friday & Saturday .... yeehaa!

We went to the Owasso HS vs Muskogee game on Friday night ... it was a heartbreakingly close game that Owasso lost in the last 40 seconds by 1 point. It was a tough loss and an exciting game until the last 40 seconds.

Today (Saturday) was a busy sports day for us! First thing this morning, I woke up to rain .... not a good sign when the game that Ashleigh was cheering at was 9AM... thankfully, it was just down to a sprinkle or 2 by the time she had to cheer. Her cheer squad did well, but the team she cheered for lost. I think the girls didn't really care who won or lost, they just wanted to get some place dry :)

Zach's game was at 1PM at home against Miami. Our team fought hard against Miami and pulled out a win 13 - 0. It's a little too close for comfort when we are use to winning 35 - 0 (and counting, since they stop counting at 35 no matter how many points you score). I have heard that things get tougher in 5th grade due to kids dropping out, and making fewer teams. Our team stays pretty much the same every year only losing a few and then gaining about twice the number lost or more every year. Zach is getting more playing time this year and is doing well. He still has much to learn and still needs his confidence built. He plays wide receiver. We have been working on getting a passing game started this year but are still working on it. We have several wide receivers on the team. But I'll take the 13 - 0 win... a "W" is a "W"! We lost 12 - 0 a few weeks ago to TYAA Blue. So Z's team is 1 - 1 with 8 more games to go.

Allie is playing soccer this year and is playing for the "Ladybugs". Right now she is playing 3 on 3. My Allie usually couldn't run "if a bear was chasing her" and I am always giving her a hard time about walking instead of running when she had done the 5 & Under program during the spring. She ran the whole time and although she didn't score and goals, she kept up with the pack and even fought for and kicked the ball alot. Afterwards, I was telling her how proud of her I was and that I was proud why she ran the whole time and she said "you know why I ran? Cause you said that I couldn't run the whole time... so I wanted to prove you wrong!" Hey, if that's what it takes, so be it! And her having said that is further proof that she is definitly MY child and a "mini me" cause if you know me very well, you know that I am head strong and if someone tells me I can't do something, the more determined I am to do it... I don't know if they record wins and losses or not, but the Ladybugs won 7 (or 8) to 2....

Not a bad day, not a bad day at all! Oh, and Zach and Allie's games were under the blue sky. We all were so tired when we got home afterwards, our house was quiet... and for that feat to happen, we all must have been pretty tired cause my house is NEVER quiet.
