Oh Soccer! My Kiwi team is getting better that's for sure! We have finally started listening to us(Coach B and I) and getting that ball towards the goal. These last few games the kids really have opened up and tried kicking some butt! Only 2 goals were scored on us the last game. I am getting a killer workout, running up and down the field for an hour! Its fun, but I am so ready for it to be over! Its actually a lot of work, but fun work!
Hayden is a great player, of course. He is driven and focused. He wants to make a goal so bad! He was goalie today and blocked 4 attempts, he was a very proud boy. Hayden and a girl named Emma are a great team, she reminds me a lot of Emily. A couple other kids are really doing well too! Its great to see the improvement over the last month!

Hayden finished up his year at Shooting Stars this last week. What a great program it is too! I wish I had known about it long ago. He made some great friends, Mackenzie and Lanita, always together! He excelled in his swimming--making it to a higher level than his age even allows! His teacher, Mrs Starry had so many wonderful things to say about him and how he will wow his teacher next year at kindergarten. She was excited to know that he is going to school at the same school as her son too. We celebrated with a swimming party for all the families followed up with pizza and ice cream. We even went on the waterslide, a highlight for Hayden. They built mar shallow sculptures on the last day which will always stick with Hayden I think, the boy has a deep love for marshmallows.

Congratulations Hayden on completing Preschool!!!
