Another Soccer Saturday

We are so fortunate that two of our soccer players are on the same team. Ella and Payton are on the same team this year, and they are so cute to watch.

Payton has been watching soccer and going to soccer practices for as long as she has been walking, therefore she has somewhat the advantage, and she's 5. She knows what to do with the ball and when to do it. Ella on the other hand, who's only 4, just has to go on the natural born athletic characteristics that she got from her parents. Soccer for her this year is a whole new game, not much like the football practices she's spent her life watching. They are both so cute and even work together now and then. Ella is probably the smallest on the team, but in her mind she's as big as everyone else on the field.

Here are my Calif. babies. I love it when they fight over sitting on my lap. Wade and Abby are only 10 days apart in age, and I think friends from before this earth life. They are always so happy to see each other. (Check out the new hair cut)

Weston and this week's addition, his cast. Not much gets this boy down. He's as tough as they come. He broke his arm, both bones, at lunch recess, and wasn't given anything for pain until after 9 p.m. Everyone from the school nurse, to the ER techs and aids were truly amazed. He was a little teary when I picked him up at school and was sweating from being is shock, but no hysterics or even crying.
He faced surgery the following morning very bravely while requesting a
Priesthood blessing from his dad and his grandpa.

Cute Kylie is a terrific soccer player. She always says that she doesn't want to play each year but she is really good and enjoys it during the season.
The games usually over lap and are always at different fields.
Here she's waiting to go to her game at her park.

In a way, Weston did us all a favor by not being able to play for the rest of the season, because of his cast.

Next week I'll get pictures of Kylie at her game and of Dane at his football game.
Stay tuned.
