elijah's soccer game

the first half was really bad, except for zidaya scoring a goal for the other team we really didn't get near a goal. it looked like elijah was going to have another year like last year (making silly faces, picking his nose, running circles around all the other players, just bad)






but then mario said something to elijah, and he took off and stole the ball from the other team and ran it all the way down for a goal. it was so exciting!!! then he turned around and did it again!!!

it made the whole season worth it and it was only the first game! elijah now has new soccer shoed that don't hurt his feet so hopefully he'll do even better.




after the game we went to the coolest ice cream shop and the kids played for hours. they had sooo many toys there. it was great to let them play and we could sit around and talk.



we even had a live band!


hopefully it won't take me a whole week to update on our next game. it's going to be a busy fun saturday. we're going to the balloon fiesta in the morning, elijah's game is at 10:00. then we're going to hang out with my brother and his girls and then possibly a lobo game at 7:30 (we'll see how the kids are doing by then)
