Super Soccer Saturday

Yes, I know most of you will say, no it's super football Saturday, but in the Yerger neck of the woods we are fully engrossed in soccer and today we had our first games. Tristan was up first at 1130. I had no idea that the boy was a genetically altered soccer superstar. Although it should be in his genes, you just never can tell. He scored between four and five goals and I stopped counting, plus by that time Jack's game had started on the next field over and I felt like a bobblehead trying to watch them both. Jack scored two goals and kept yelling, Mom you need to watch me! Unfortunately a parent on the sidelines of Jack's game had a seizure about 5 minutes into their game so they were delayed and cut short, which is really okay for 4 and 5 year olds anyway. It all went pretty well and everyone is racked out now, tired from their first day. I think Jack liked the ambulance the best and Tristan probably enjoyed the hamburger from the concession stand but all in all it was a success. Savannah has popped tooth #3 and is threatening to crawl, although her favorite mode of transportation (besides me) is rolling herself from one side of the house to the other. No one is safe and the dogs find themselves hiding in strategic locations, like under the table or outside. School is keeping me very busy, it feels like flight school again, but a bit harder with all the kids and my tag team partner so far away right now. We talk to him all the time via email and phone, it really is amazing the technology these days, I just don't know how people did it in the past. We already feel like there is a hole in our lives without Jaesen here and without the constant chatter with him it would be so much more difficult. Ah, but look at me getting philosophical, at least I can hog the whole king size bed, watch my shows and not have to hear him say, you're going to bed now, but it's only 9:30? Plus the kids are happy with grilled cheeses and oatmeal a lot more than he is :) Ba, I know you are reading this, I love you!!!! Other exciting news, our big watersnake is back in the pond, and my first two tests are on Monday. I have to go study now, enjoy all the new pictures, there are ones of Jaesen here too that he just sent me the other day.
