So here my boys are in all of their soccer glory!!! We have had a lot of ups and downs with this soccer playing. Their first day they were suppose to practice it was cold and so we tried to meet coaches which didn't go so great since they didn't have enough coaches for all of the players. Both of our boys started on teams that had coaches but we only got to meet topher's. Practices are suppose to be tuesday and games are on Thursday. So we went to the field again on thursday and there was very little practicing going on. It took almost the whole time trying to figure out where we were suppose to be. We finally found Topher's coach. We couldn't figure out where t.j. was suppose to be though. They had actually moved him teams and he has two teenage girls coaching him. This wouldn't be so bad, but they don't really know at all how to work with children or even very much about soccer. T.j. doesn't really notice but sometimes it makes me crazy. I guess i could coach but I'm not sure what to do with Pearson and Creedance, so i guess i just let it go!!!
Topher didn't really like his first game last week. He played his cousins team which wasn't really the problem. He had to guard a kid his cousin calls the midget. But what this kid lacks in size he makes up for in aggresiveness. Topher got hurt twice and decided he did not like games. It all ended up being better today at his game though. He scored five goals and is in love with soccer again!!!!
T.j.'s game started 20 minutes late, do to the coaches and most of the kids on the team being late!!! He did awesome though. He usually doesn't run very much(harder for him than most). But today he was all over the field. He even tried to get to the ball, which i have been trying to get him to do since the beginning and he has not seemed interested at all. He was very excited when his Grandma and Grandpa Hopkins showed up to watch him and maybe that is why he tried harder!!!!In my last post i wrote that Toph is riding a motorbike by himself. I finally got Tyler to switch the pictures from raw to jpg so i can put them on!!! So here they are!!!
We went up to my parents cabin for a weekend a little while ago. We played hard! Topher can now ride a motorbike all by himself. We stained one side of the cabin. We went into Yellostone Park. We even went on a hike with all of the kids. This is us at Fairy falls. Pearson and Tj didn't do to much hiking but i think they had a good time anyway! Thanks to my dad who ended up toting T.j. most of the time!!!!
Oh here is a picture of T.j. riding his bike without training wheels. We are so proud of him for doing it since it is alot harder for him then some of the other kids!!(Sorry about the weird line on some of the pic's something is wrong with my camera!)
I have been canning like crazy and taking the kids to all of their functions! oh yeah we went to the Pocatello Pump last weekend and we camped out for a couple of nights!!! it was alot of fun! Here is a picture of me and pearson on a little hike we took. I took a ton a pic's of kids and tyler climbing but i took them with his camera and will have to wait to down load them or more correctly until Tyler downloads them onto the computer.
