Holy Cow, time is flying by. We have been so busy these last couple of weeks, I've neglected the blog. Things are starting to slow down, I think, or at least, they will be slowing soon. Sarah's soccer season ended last weekend, but unfortunately her game was rained out. The kids did have small pizza party though and got their trophies. In what turned out to be Sarah's last game, I let her keep her shirt untucked and she rewarded me with about 7 goals. Well, I am not really sure how many goals she had. At one point, she scored a goal and she held up all five fingers and looked at me, indicating 5 goals. I saw her score at least 2 more goals. Yvonne did not think she had that many, but I think she did. Here she is with shirt untucked, but about to score again!

One more picture of her playing soccer. You can barely see her face behind all that hair. Yvonne has solved the hair problem though and promises that from now on, her hair wont fall in her face. The hair was also causing a problem on the softball field, but apparently was not too big of an obstacle for her. In her last game, she got a nice ribbon that says, "Dynamite" and got the game ball. Is there any money for girls softball scholarships at UT? Hmmmnn. Finally, one last picture of her. Here she is fielding the ball. In this league, outs are hard to come by, so usually the bases get loaded and it is the pitcher's job to field the ball and out run the 3rd base runner to home plate and get an out. With her team on the verge of being outscored, Sarah single-handedly fielded the last three hits and outran the base runners to home, recording three outs in a row and securing the victory. For this, she got the dynamite ribbon and the game ball. Yes, we were very proud of her and yes, she knew it!
