soccer

Part of being a mom is sacrificing your Saturdays to watch your kids play soccer!  Jacob and Jenna are both playing Upward Soccer this year.  We have some positives and negatives about this league, and I think next year we will move to JUSA soccer.  Jacob is on a team with all girls (except one boy) who is afraid of the ball, so needless to say they are the bad news bears!  Poor Jacob has to play everywhere since they are afraid.  So far he has scored two goals!!  One Saturday it was very rainy and muddy and the girls didn't want to get dirty so they put Jacob in as goalie!!  He did a great job.  Jenna's team has a lot of talent.....almost winning every game.  The bad thing for her is since there are so many good players, she draws back and does not play to her potential.  Every game they announce the players and they get to run through a banner.  It's pretty cool!
