Josiah's First Soccer Game~ Sept 9th, 2011

Josiah had his first soccer game on Friday and he loved it! His team is called the Comets.

He played pretty well for his first game and he scored the only goal for his team! They lost 1-4 but it was cool to watch them learn as they go. It was really the first time they got to play like that. The coach said afterward that he knows who his offense players are, speaking of Josiah, but that he can't play favorites and that he rotates all the kids to give them a chance. I like that. Especially at their age to learn to play as a team.

So Josiah gets $5. We told him every goal he scores in a game he'll get $5. That's enough motivation for him! It dawned on me while he was playing that I'm an official soccer mom. What in the world???? This can't be! Really!!! It's so weird for me to sit there and watch Josiah play soccer. Oh yeah, and we DO have the mini van.

I ran 6 miles today! I ran it in about 63 minutes. I ran some good hills. I took along some honey in a bag too for the half way point. It was nice to have. Richie ran in the morning before me and he did 13 miles in one hour 41 minutes. He's in great shape. I haven't been running as long and it's going to take me a while to get to where I want to be. I have my 1/2 marathon coming up soon and I'm not ready. I'd love to have a better base but I'm still going to try and do it. 6 miles was rough for me. That was the longest I've run since after having Josiah. Wow! Time to get in shape!

The boys had music lessons today. Elee for guitar. Josiah for piano. I have to order Elee a guitar lesson book. He really wants to play the electric, but he'll have to practice at home on his acoustic. The electric we have doesn't work right. When he gets older and if he still likes playig, then that will be something that we can get him later.

Richie ordered the ping pong table today. We are getting excited for the Ping Pong tournament. We just sent out invites for it yesterday for our 4th annual. It will be on the 15th of October while Dad and Deb are here. Now time to get our costumes ready!

Can't help but thinking I'll be slightly stiff tomorrow....better stretch before bed.
