Upcoming events

The kids have a couple of things coming up that you might like to join us at.....

This is the last weekend of soccer!!!  Both kids will play in the Commissioner's Cup this weekend.  Games are Saturday 12/7 and Sunday 12/8.  Adam will play at Cherry Island 2A at 10:00 and 1:30 both days.  Briana will play at River View Park at 10:00 and 1:15 both days.  It's going to be cold out there so bundle up if you come!!!

Adam joined the school band this year and is playing the clarinet.  There will be a district concert on Wednesday, December 18th at Golden Sierra at 6:30.  He will also be playing at the Sing Along at Northside on Friday, December 20th at 9:00. 

Hope to see you all soon! :)

Bragging

So the kids are off to a great start of the school year. Just wanted to share a few things that they are up to. 

Briana just got her first progress report. She has straight A's starting off her 8th grade year (well actually 4 A's and 2 A+'s!!!) while playing two different sports. She's playing competitive soccer in Auburn and had her first game yesterday. Her team came back to win it 2-1. She's also playing on her school volleyball team as one of their setters. Her team still needs a little work, but she's stepping up to be a great player!

Adam is really enjoying 4th grade so far. He is in a 4/5 combo class and just started a new activity this week - playing the clarinet!  He is so excited about it, although I may be shopping for a good pair of ear plugs soon. :)  He is also playing competitive soccer. They had their second game yesterday, and even though they did not win, they played much better than they did the previous week. Hopefully they continue to make improvements. 

It's been a great start to the 13-14 school year. Looking forward to what's to come!

Soccer schedules

Soccer season is starting today!!  Well, it is for Adam at least, Briana's game just got cancelled due to air quality.  Just when I thought the smoke was gone, it shows back up for their first games. :(

Trying to type out their schedules for the next 3 months seemed a bit tedious, so here are the links...

Briana is on the 49er Xtreme team - http://events.gotsport.com/events/schedule.aspx?EventID=33272&GroupID=297246&Gender=Girls&Age=13
Her home field is Railhead Park which is in Auburn.

Adam is on the GNSC Drillers team - http://events.gotsport.com/events/schedule.aspx?eventid=33272&FieldID=0&applicationID=1902812&action=Go

Hope these work for checking their schedules.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Hope to see you at a game or two! :)

Tournament - 8/10 and 8/11

Briana has a tournament this weekend for soccer at Bear River High School near Lake of the Pines.  Just got the info tonight:

Saturday - game at 9:15 on the Turf Field (just past the high school on the left) and game at 1:00 at Bear River Upper

Sunday - game at 8:00 at Bear River Upper and possible second game at 11:30, 12:45 or 2:00 (depending on how they do)

Saturday Adam and I will be off to Fan Fest at Candlestick so we won't be there that day, but we'll be there on Sunday.  Brie of course will be there both days! :)

Soccer is starting!

The kids have both moved up from rec to select soccer this year, so we have been busy with practices this summer.  They both have seeding tournaments this Saturday, July 27th to determine what level their teams are at, so if you are interested in coming out to see what they are doing here are their schedules!!

Adam plays at Mel Hamel Park in Roseville.  The address is
10080 Crocker Ranch Road.  He will be on field 1.  His games are 20 minutes each and start at 9:00, 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, and 4:00.  His team also has to referee in between those games at 9:30, 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, and 3:30.


Briana plays at the Woodland Community Center located at 2001 East Street in Woodland.  She will be on field E.  Her games are 25 minutes each, and she plays at 9:30, 11:00, 12:30, 2:00, and
3:00.  I'm not sure if she will have any other duties in between her games our not. 

Look forward to hopefully seeing some of you out there!!!

First timer

Surprise - a post!!! :)

I've been awful about keeping my blog undated.  It can be so frustrating at times, I just avoid it at all costs!  But I thought I'd throw you all off guard a little bit and actually post something - ha ha!!

My brother got to come out for a very short but sweet visit.  We were sad about the reason but happy he got to come.

As he's never seen our pool before, the kids introduced it to him.  And any proper introduction includes a jump off the waterfall.  Luckily the solar has been running for a couple of weeks now so the pool temperature was about 80.  He didn't have to join the Polar Club (this time!!)

This was my favorite of the three of them.....

Looking forward to more of this.....hurry up summer, we're ready for you!!!

New date for Soccerfest

Due to the amount of rain we have received, and most likely will continue to receive tomorrow, Adam's Soccerfest has been cancelled for tomorrow.  It will be reschedule for next Saturday, 12/8.  Times will be posted early next week.  I will let you know when I find out!

Also, Briana has three more soccer games until her season is over.  They are all at EV Cain.  The time stated on the schedule was 4:00, but we have received texts the past couple of games that they wwould be starting at 3:45.  I'm assuming the rest will be as well.  Even starting at 3:45 on Tuesday, the end of the game was played in darkness!!  Crazy!!!

Brie - All Star Soccer

Oh geez, just when I thought it couldn't get any busier it has!! :)  Besides Brie's school soccer games this week, she is also starting All Star practice (4 days this week!) and just made the club volleyball team yesterday.  All Stars games will be played at Pleasant Valley School (lucky you mom and dad!) this Sunday, 11/18, at 9:50, 12:30, and 3:10.
