Spring Sports ala Webster



Well here we are in the middle of one girls season(softball) and at the end of another(soccer).  Aubrey had another great soccer season and her team had a winning record.  They had a few tough games and some heartbreaking losses.  It seems to be the older they get the better the teams are becoming and they don't dominate the field anymore, which in my opinion is excellent. I think they need to earn their wins and it is good to lose.  It will make them better players and teammates when they learn to win together and lose together.  As much as I love soccer I don't know if Aubrey will continue with it.  She has caught the softball bug so we will take this summer to decide what she wants to do.  If it was up to me she would play soccer and stay in the sweeper position, a personal favorite of mine, but it isn't and whatever she decides will be fine after I shed my tears of course.
Bryttany has started softball this year and I think she really loves it.  She is on a great team that plays really well together. They had a really rough season and learned how to lose with grace but they are in the playoffs and they are 2-0.  It is double elimination and if they win their next game they are automatically in the final game.  WoHoo!  I can't say enough about her coach or her teammates, we just love them all around.  I feel like my mom sitting at the ball fields catching some rays, wearing flip flops(easily removed) so there are no tan lines on my feet.  It is amazing the memories you have from childhood and are always there.  So as much as I love watching Aubrey on the soccer field(truly where my heart is)  I do feel just as home being at the ball fields on a Saturday.

70's night at EVBC


Ok so this one will be totally short and I will post a few more in the up coming days.  It has been hectic around here with me recouping from surgery #2 and tons of physical therapy.  Three days a week for a couple of hours a day really adds up.  Bryttany has started softball this year and loves it and I think Aubrey might even try to play next year, we will see but more info on that later.


Anyway, Bryttany and a couple of her friends, Keegan and Emily went to the 70's night at church.  It is a great time as a parent to let your kids go a little bit in a totally safe environment.  It is fun and scary at the same time to watch her grow up.  I am so thankful she doesn't realize how beautiful she is(of course I might be a little biased too!) But someday she might and Kent really needs to watch out and maybe possibly put her into hiding...
