A day of soccer

Such is the life of a soccer mom and coach's wife!
Macguire had the first game of the day (be ther @8:45) and he actually scored a goal! He was so excited!!! He was much improved over last weeks game, he dribbled and kicked and did, well you know, normal soccer things! Unfortuately, his team lost like 20-5 or something like that, but he doesn't even know/understand this. He is only happy that he scored!
Kennedy played at 10:00 and 11:30! They won both games (even with a sub coach, since Corey was in Mobile) and Kennedy scored 6 total goals!! So she was happy as well. I am telling you this to give out a warning to anyone who might ever play against her, she is tough. I saw her flatten a girl today and the look on her face, well it was not love. It was something completely different. (although she did "take a knee" while the girl cried on the ground) But, she was playing defense and if you say "do not let anyone score" well, she doesn't. She's scary.
So, Emy and I endured all of this in th 97 degree weather and although we were both crabby and tired, it was fun.
Corey and his team travelled to Mobile Alabama and they played at their Homecoming! How intense! Well, they WON in overtime, and Corey seemed very happy. He is now 5-2, and this again makes him happy.
Well, Emy is crying from her high chair, I guess done with the fabulous gourmet (frozen) pizza I served for dinner!!! Got to Go!!!

catch up!

Yes, Kelly it has been a long time and there is always stuff to write about but no time to do it! Emerson is a computer magnet and if I sit down even for a minute she is in my room, then in my bathroom entertaining herself (which basically means unwrapping all my tampons, or licking all the cough drops, or at this exact moment, pulling out all the dental floss from the container( and this is unwindable)) So that leaves, nap time or bedtime and I really have so much to do during these times already...okay blah blah blah, everyone has their issues.
What I would really like to be doing??? Taking my kids to the country and walking through the leaves and picking out pumpkins, picking apples (something we did every year growing up), having campfires, baking treats, and generally just relaxing. Sounds like the life...where do I sign up? I love the fall, I dislike the fact that in the South fall is short and doesn't even start until November!!! Although since it has been down to 65 at night, people are pulling out all their winter gear. I am still sending Kennedy to school in shorts and a tank top (it is still 87 during the day) Funny things...
Kennedy has hooked up with another girl one year older then her and they are at the stables every day, caring for her (the other girl) horses. Kennedy is loving it, and we have already been asked for a horse for Christmas!! She is learning so much and the other girls mom, is very patient and a great teacher for Kennedy. She will ride this Friday, and she thinks it is about time! But she has learned to care for the horse and the stable (yes, mucking the stall) and she is excited to be rewarded by riding tomorrow! They also have chickens that lay eggs, and she is so funny "Mom they are brown!!" And she brought one home and cooked it for breakfast and thought "it is definately better than the white ones from the store!"
She is one tough girl on the soccer field!!!! Last weekend she scored 3 in one game and 1 in the second game. She loves playing and she is really good. Her cheerleading is taking 3 seat to soccer and horses! But she is working on her tucks, and is having fun.
Macguire... what a trip! He had his first soccer game last Saturday, in which he touched the ball once and that was only because someone accidently kicked it to him! He just ran along the side of everyone else (I think he was just protecting them!) but he thought it was so serious, and he was giving us thumbs up the whole time, like he had scored 20 goals!!!! He is sweet. At least he isn't twirling around on the field like Kennedy did when she was 4.
Emerson is sick! She had high fever and throw up yesterday, and although no more throw up, she still has a fever. So who knows how this day shall progress!
Corey is playing the #15 team in the nation today, and he is a little worried about how this will work out, I hope I get to go to the game! Wish my mom could come over and watch the kids! Oh yeah, she lives 10 hours away!!! Guess not.
Well, Emy has now brushed her teeth with both mine and Corey's toothbrushes, so I guess I should go and get her! Later times!
