We went to Flagstaff this past weekend and it was, oh so nice! It is still in the 100's here and to be able to get a little relief from the heat was very much welcomed. We went for one of Kyle's soccer tournaments. They played 4 games all within a 30-hour time period. It was a tough tournament with only 1 win out of 4 games. However, they had to face the #1 and #2 teams in the state, for their age group. They could have very well beat them both as the scores were within 1 goal during both games. All the boys on the team seemed to take a pretty good beating through all the games and most of them ended up (from what I know) staying home from school just to recover. It was some pretty intense and competitive soccer, for sure. We have another tournament that is only 2 weeks away. I hope everyone recovers quickly.
My hubby is the one behind all the pictures. I will have to see if he can share a few for me to post here.

"Do as I say, not as I do"
Oh my! Well, after reading my last post and then counting the weeks that we have been in school, I realized just how long it has been without a post here. Okay...I guess I can claim many excuses, but I would like to think of them more as just staying busy with family rather then excuses.
We have been really busy with soccer, soccer and more soccer. It seems like I am always saying that . But, hey, that's what we are all about right now. I just started playing indoor at a new place that is much closer to home. My outdoor season starts this Friday. I am the one coordinating everything for my team. I can not believe how hard it is working with adults. They are worse then kids. It is like a supernatural act to get them to even return an email. Uhhggg.
Kyle's season is officially underway, although it seems like it is never ending and therefore has never really even started. That kid is always on the soccer field, it seems. We started official games with an out of town tournament in California at Huntington Beach. Yes, I enjoy soccer, but soccer in Huntington Beach...ah, now that is double the fun! It was a rough tournament, but by the last game they seemed to find their groove, with a 5-0 win! Kyle's team also participates in local league play. This year, to everyone's surprise, the team was placed in state level play. It is an honor to play at that level, as it is by invitation only. However, for the parents it is turning out to be driving, driving and more driving. In the end it is a lot of fun and excitement.
Tyler is also playing soccer again this season. We thought that he would be returning to hockey soon, but that has not been the case. He is discovering that he really likes soccer. He played on an indoor soccer team this summer (you have to do indoor in AZ, it is just too hot otherwise) and loved it. I predict that once he finishes the outdoor season that he is playing right now he will return to indoor. Tyler has also discovered this past summer that he likes tennis. So, who knows what he will be doing next.
So, I know what you are thinking now...so what about the hubby and his soccer...well...no, there is no soccer for him. Our church has a triathlon team that trains and competes together. He is thinking about join them sometime in the near future.
Shifting gears a little....We are in our 6th week of school and things are moving right along. We are learning some cool stuff. I will do my best to share our cool stuff and experiences here. One of the assignments that I have for the boys is completing a blog post on their blog, at least once per week. Yes, even the kids fall behind with their posts. So, now that it is an assignment for them, I guess I should set the example and do the same myself. It is starting to sound like that aweful saying, "do as I say, not as I do". I don't like that saying, so I had better get to posting!
So, with good intentions, see you next week (if not before).

May Already?
Oh my! I can not believe that it has been a full month since I last posted here. Man, how time flies. So much has happened in this past month. Here is a quick recap of life around here:
-The biggest news and most exciting for us is that we finally are getting somewhere with finding a new (to us) home for our family. It seems that 99.99% of all homes for sale (where we live) are all short sale or foreclosures and that means WAITING WAITING and more WAITING...on the banks! We had an offer on a home that seemed to be going NO WHERE and then Bam! there was actually a home that came available that was a "regular" sale. We jumped on it and are now only 2 weeks away from closing and finally having someplace that we will be able to call "home". We are very thankful for the rental roof that is over our head now. Somehow it is just different when you know you have someplace to really call home.
-With April also came the end of the NHL hockey season and the beginning of the playoffs. Our awesome Coyotes actually made it to the playoffs this year and we splurged and went to their home games. It was so much fun and great family times and memories. They didn't make it past the 1st round but we still love and support our team!
-Sickness has hit our house pretty hard this month. We very rarely get sick around here (thank you Lord) but unfortunately most of the month of April we have all been fighting some sort of sinus and respiratory illness. We have gone through more tissue in one month then we normally go through in one year.
-Soccer was in full swing as well. Kyle spent most of the month in tryouts for next season. Tyler's team wrapped their spring season and I was right in the middle of my 2 seasons (both indoor and outdoor).
-In the midst of everything else we are still moving right along with school. Yep...we are in our 31st week of school and counting down until we are all done for the summer. It will not be long. The nice thing with home school is that we don't count down by weeks or days but rather by how many pages are left before finishing up the work in our books. It looks like, if we stay on track, we should be all done by the end of May. Woohoo!
I will leave you with a picture of us at a Coyotes White Out game. Fun times and lots of memories!

3v3 Midnight Maddness Under the Stars
Kyle was invited to play in another 3v3 soccer tournament this past weekend. Being that it is SO hot out here already this tournament was an all-nighter. It started at 4pm and ended around midnight. It was a late day/night but it sure beats sitting and playing in 100 degree + heat. Even though the days are hot the nights are still cool and very enjoyable. It was a perfect night for soccer.
Here is Kyle with his team. There are only 5 on the team. Aren't they so cute!
Here is Kyle with one of his team mates, Peter.

Another shut out and a new game of 3 v 3 soccer
Tyler recorded his 8th shut out as a hockey goalie this past week. Yeah Tyler! I am so proud of you!
Also...
This past week, we have gotten to learn and experience a new kind of soccer play (well new to us, not sure how long it has formally been around). Kyle was asked to join what is called a 3v3 soccer team and has already competed in one tournament. One of his friends that he plays club soccer with decided to form and start a team that can compete together. There was a 3v3 tournament this past weekend and Kyle's team ended up taking 2nd place. Not bad for the first time playing. It was so much fun to watch. It is quick, very fast and usually lots of goals. Kyle had 8 goals in 4 games. Way to go Kyle!

Dream becomes reality
Playing Indoor soccer....That's right. I have always wanted to have the opportunity to try and my hand (or feet) again at playing indoor soccer. Well, last Friday I played for the first time after almost 15 years. It was great, a lot of fun and an exhausting workout! Can't wait until our next game. It is the perfect thing to be doing right now out here in hot and sunny AZ.
Made it to the finals again
Our soccer team made it...again...to the Championship finals game this season. We play for first place this coming Friday evening. We placed 5th (out of 6) at the end of regular season play and somehow made it back to the final game. wow!

Soccer Update
Ok Here are some soccer updates...
*Kyle officially finished his first year of club soccer. He is still practicing with the team to stay sharp for tryouts coming up in April. He had a great year and learned a lot.
*We are half way through our recreation soccer season. Hubby and I are coaching, Tyler and Kyle are both playing. It is a Family event this season. Overall our team is not doing too well. We have 2 ties and 3 loses. Hopefully we can put a win on the board before the end of the season.
*I officially started my adult co-ed soccer season today. We played in our first game of the season this evening. We won 3-0. woohoo. I love it!! It is SO much fun!!
*One of the major sporting teams that AZ DOES NOT have is a MLS team. There are many groups, organizations and people that are really pushing to bring MLS to AZ. So with all of the efforts they were able to get an MLS exhibition game here. We went to see the LA Galaxy and the Chicago Fire play last Saturday. It was awesome! That was the first time that I have ever been to an MLS game (or any type of pro soccer game). I would love to have a team here in AZ. I know, just another place to burn the paycheck. HA! But it would be fun!

Busy Times
Where has the first month of this new year gone? That is the question that I found myself thinking today. It seems like it was just the other day that we were fighting to stay awake to see the new year in. Now we are one month through it.
We have had so much going on that I feel like my body is literally spinning in circles at times. Between starting back to school and all the sports games and practices it is always something going on.
Yes, we did just get back from a nice little get away to California to see Mickey and friends. We spent most of last week walking the parks of Disneyland and California Adventure. We were so exhausted from all the walking that we almost felt like we needed a vacation from our vacation. HA! :) We had a great time but it has been non stop every since we drove back into town.
The night we got home we had just enough time to unload the car and then we were off to Kyle's soccer game. The next 3 days we found ourselves driving an hour each way to more soccer games. Kyle played in a tournament that was really far away. It was so far that most families from the team ended up staying at a hotel by the fields for the weekend. One of the days we had to be at the fields by 7am. I had to set my alarm for 4:30am that morning. Blah! (way too early or me). It was a fun tournament, they always are. Kyle's team ended up in the consolation round and won it. Overall, Kyle had 7 goals this weekend! He was on fire!
There is always Hockey on the weekends as well and this weekend was a big one for Tyler's team. They played the #1 team in their league and beat them with a 4-3 win. It was very exciting to say the least!! It has been a long time since I have seen grown adults jumping and screaming uncontrollably with such passion. hehe!! I think all the parents were more tired then the players from all the screaming, yelling and cheering.
Now looking ahead from here...we still have the crazy hockey and soccer schedules in addition to the start of a new recreation soccer team that the hubby and I will be coaching, and... Tyler will be picking back up with his song and dance group at church (more practices during the week to be at). Oh yes, these are busy times!

Wins All Around
That's the way...uuhh, uuhh...we like it..uuhh, uuhh!!
Yep that is right, ALL wins this past weekend. There was a total of 4 soccer game wins for Kyle and one hockey game win for Tyler. Kyle ended up with a total of 5 goals as well.
Way to go boys!!
Here is a picture of Kyle's team with their 1st place trophies!

Big Day
Today is another big day of sports here. As I posted in my last post (last night), we have two more soccer games to finish out this weekends tournament and in addition to that, Tyler has a hockey game today as well. It is going to be a busy day. I will try and post some more pictures here with all the updates on how everything goes. For now, it is time to get the day started!

2 wins for the team, 2 goals for the little man!
Kyle's soccer team played in the first 2 games of this weekend's soccer turnamnet today. They won their first game 4-2 and their second 4-0. Kyle played mostly defense in the first game and then scored 2 goals in the second game where he mostly played offense. It was a fun and exciting day. We will be headed back to the fields tomorrow to play in 2 more games. I hope they come away with some more wins.
Getting ready for his first game.
This was his second goal in the second game. Notice the ball in the net. Yea baby!

Recruited at my age? ...!!! What?
Yep, that is right. With our coed soccer season coming to a close this past week, many teams are already planning and preparing for the winter/spring season that is just around the corner. The biggest preparation is that of making sure that the teams have enough women registered on each team in order to sustain them through the entire season. It is mandatory to have and play at least 3 women on each team. So...with that most teams are usually on the hunt to fill their female spots as soon as possible.
Being with the same team now for years (not sure how many now), I have never even given thought to moving to another team...until now that is. The other day I was asked by another team if I would consider moving to play with them. After the initial shock wore off of another team wanting to have me on their roster, I actually gave it some thought. Being a loyal person like I am, I am having a difficult time making this decision. I am honored that another team would like to have me play with them, however I still really enjoy playing with my current team as well. Oh...Man... I am not sure what to do.

Kyle on New Club Team
With the start of a new season of club soccer play, Kyle was asked to move and play with a new team that is just getting started (within their club age bracket). This should prove to be a good move for him with some great opportunities down he road and much more added play time, too. We are excited to see where this "road" will take him. It is a very ambitious team so far. They have only had a week of practices and are already preparing to compete in a tournament this weekend. Wow! We shall see how they do in a few days.

The end at last
This weekend marked the end of 3 soccer seasons and a much needed hockey break.
I had my champion playoff game on Friday night. Even though we did not win we still felt like we were successful. Due to winning the past 3 (or 4) seasons, playing in the recreation division, we were forced to move up to the competitive division. Let me just say that the start of the season didn't look to promising for us. However, as each week went by we stepped up to the challenge and in the end, somehow, found ourselves playing for the #1 spot again. Wow! We amazed ourselves at how we all stuck together and ended up, overall, in 2nd place. The team that we played for 1st place is a great team and was known for "taking no prisoners" with scores like 5-0 or worse. However, in the last game we held them to a 2-1 final score. So, in our minds we still won.
Tyler ended his soccer season as well this weekend with his last game on Saturday. The score was 5-0, with Tyler contributing one of the goals. Way to go Tyler. He is really becoming quit the soccer player.
Kyle's soccer team plays continuously through the year until about March, however his first round of play also ended this weekend. They played a double header against two local teams. They lost the first (4-5) and won the second (5-0). (They took first place overall for this season.) Kyle also contributed toward the overall goal count with 1 in his first game and 2 in the second. He plays forward and most of his goals are scored on break-aways. He is really fast and usually out runs all the other teams players. It is really exciting and very fun to watch him.
Hockey is not over but on a 2 week break until December. Tyler played in a very exciting game this morning. They played the #1 team in the league and kept it a really tight game all the way to the end. They ended up taking the loss with a score of 2 - 3, but only because of very bad officiating. I am really not being a whiner with this one...really!!
I have never in all my life, of watching sporting events, seen a coach talk a referee into making a call that should not have been called. Yep, that's right. It was a young referee being intimidated by the other teams coach. The other team took a shot at Tyler (he is the goalie) with the puck sliding right behind him from one side to the other (from post to post). When Tyler realized that he had missed it he turned around and saved it on the other side of him. The whistle blew and the play stopped. Right after that a time-out was called and during that time the other teams coach disputed the call and convinced the referee that it was a goal (when it clearly was not). (I know it wasn't. I was sitting right behind the goal watching Tyler and saw it clearly....all the while the other coach was way across on the other side of the rink.) So, when the time-out was over everyone was confused (even the other team players) because the only ones that knew about the change in the call was the other coach and the scorekeeper. Even Tyler's own coach had no idea what was happening and let me just say...you could almost see the smoke coming out of his ears. He was MAD! It was amazing and unbelievable. I have never seen anything like that. I guess there is a first for everything. After all we are all human and intimidation does happen. Oh well. I hope we don't have the same ref's next time.
All in all it was a good weekend. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and the much needed break through the holidays.

Never Would have made it doing NaBloPoMo!
Jeeesh! Wow it has been a long time since I last posted anything. Where has the time gone? Not sure...I guess if I had to quickly look back on things...oh yea...Hockey and Soccer (that's our life right now). I am so glad that I did not commit to NaBloPoMo this November and put the pressure on myself. Actually, I have never done NaBloPoMo. Maybe next year...or maybe I might pick my own month to try and post everyday. If I do that then it would be like training for when next November comes around and I might be able to do it. hehe. aahhh we will see.
Yes, it has been a lot of hockey and soccer lately. Things should start to slow down. Let's see, 2 out of the 3 soccer teams will be coming to an end after this weekend. The other one will be on break until after Thanksgiving. And Hockey...well the end of the season is still a few months away.
We have had a lot of professional hockey and soccer happenings too. Last night we went to see the ECHL Roadrunners play. Tyler's hockey team was invited to play in a scrimmage during the 2 intermission breaks. They all got treated like royalty, got to sit in the special seating area up next to the glass and even got free popcorn and drinks. And then tonight we are going out to cheer on our local team in the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) Division 1 National Women's Soccer Championship games. It is going to be another late night, but should still be a lot of fun.
We got some great pictures and video of the kids last night at the hockey game. I will get more tonight at the soccer game and then I will post them for you to see.

We have had a lot of professional hockey and soccer happenings too. Last night we went to see the ECHL Roadrunners play. Tyler's hockey team was invited to play in a scrimmage during the 2 intermission breaks. They all got treated like royalty, got to sit in the special seating area up next to the glass and even got free popcorn and drinks. And then tonight we are going out to cheer on our local team in the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) Division 1 National Women's Soccer Championship games. It is going to be another late night, but should still be a lot of fun.

Being sick is for the birds
For the first time in many many years I had to leave work early due to being sick (well the few years that I have worked in those many many years. hehe) . I could not believe that I had to do it. I work at a school and the last thing I wanted all the kids to see was me losing my lunch.
I am not sure what hit me but it was bad. I had a terrible headache and could not keep anything at all down. I am doing okay today, but after all that my body went through yesterday it is still trying to recover. I am very weak and sore. I am not used to being sick and it really sinks!!
I am going to try and play in my weekly soccer game this evening. I love playing so I am going to try. I will go and if it doesn't work then I can at least watch and cheer! We are down to the wire in the season and working our way through the playoffs. We won our last game so we are moving on to the next round, that game is tonight. We will see how it goes.

1 Win - 3 Losses
...that was how our busy weekend of games ended up.
The only game that we came out with a win was Kyle's Arsenal club soccer game. It was a close one but still the win, 4-3. We'll take it!

Crazy Weekend Ahead
Let the craziness begin...
In just a few hours we will be on the run and going non-stop. It is going to be kind of hard to get going after, literally, doing nothing the past few days.
Let's see...we have 1 hockey game, 3 soccer games and soccer pictures. And...oh yea...church, too.
I will try and update with pictures and comments on how it all turns out.

The Gecko's - Our new team name (for the next 9 weeks, anyway)
We have officially started another season of soccer. This season it is a family thing! We got it approved for Kyle to play on the recreation team that Tyler is on. So they are both playing soccer together again. And, not only are they playing together, but the hubby and I are coaching. The team came up with a team name of the Gecko's so I guess you can say we are all Gecko's now.
Here are some pictures from our first game.
