Soccer Season!

Soccer Season is in full swing, and we have been so busy, I'm finally posting pictures now, and its half way thru the season. I love watching them play, its SO competitive and so am I, so I'm screaming my head off. Last week, I was so into it, I didn't see Jake kicking his own soccer ball right out in the field during the game...oops...hee hee!

Parker in action! He is on the "Black Knights" and without him, sadly, his team would be horrible. Parker gets very frustrated, because Parker is a great player and gets all the goals, but he does it alone. His team has a lot of first timers, so Parker gets very upset, when they lose. Last week, he worked so hard in the over 100 heat, he came out crying cuz he was sooo tired and hot...poor guy, he gave it everything he had. He might look small, but he is a huge threat out there. Its so fun to watch!

Marissa is now in the Under 12 division and its a huge step up. There are some BIG girls out there. But look at this picture..running in for a goal, with all orange players around. She is doing great this year, and is one of the top 4 players on her team out of the 12. Her team is called "The Blue Bomber Babes". She works so hard and has improved so much from the years past! She has had some awesome passes that were perfect set-ups for goals. She does great!

Marissa Rylee

Marissa is 11 and is a super awesome girl. She is so helpful it's like having an extra mom in the house. She stays really busy, and doesn't think she is busy enough. She is not only busy in the 6th grade, but she is in 4 after school programs. Photography, Student Press, Drama and Science Olympiad. She just landed the role of Modern Day Dorothy and Glinda the Good Witch in the school play OZ! She also just finished competing with Kallie in the Visalia's Most Talented Competition singing, Somewhere Out There. They won $25 and Honorable Mention. Her soccer team just finished their season as the 1st place team in their age group, then made it thru the next playoffs, and entered the area playoffs at the 4th place team. SHE LOVES SOCCER!!!

FUNNY THINGS KIDS SAY!

10-16-10 Kallie: Mom, is it your birthday? Mom: yep! Kallie: How old are you? Mom: 35. Kallie: 35??!!?? Does that mean you are a Grandma now??
Kallie comes downstairs in her dress up clothes. She says, "Mom, do you think I could make it as a model". I just started laughing...didn't even know she knew that word. :)
Kallie was looking thru some books today, and found a church book with Jesus pictured on the front. Kallie: "HEY, IT'S JESUS!!......Here Marissa (pointing to the picture), he is in your class, so you take this one."
Parker: Whats this Dad? Dad: A lighter, don't touch that! Parker: What does it do? Dad: Watch! (flame). Kallie: THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Kallie: I need to go potty. (she climbs on to the potty) Mom: Okay...go Potty! Kallie: I'll give it my best shot!!!
Marissa: Kallie what to you want to be when you grow up? Kallie: A BOY!!! Marissa: No, you are going to be a big girl. Kallie: No I want to be a big boy like Parker, and then I'll be a firefighter.
SANTA SCARE!! Today as we entered Target, Santa was sitting by the front door. Kallie saw him, and he waved her over. She went about half way, then went closer. He picked her up and she started screaming and crying. So after calming her down, and telling her Santa was nice, we continued our shopping. As we were leaving I thought we would walk by him again, but he wasn't there. I said, Kallie where did Santa go? Kallie said, I don't know, but HE WON'T BOTHER US ANYMORE!!
Kallie: Are you mad mommy? Mom: No, why do you think that. Kallie: Because your hairy black lines look mad. Mom: You mean my eyebrows. Kallie: Yah, those hairy lines.
Mom: Parker can you go get some toilet paper for this bathroom. Parker: Okay Mom! Hey Look Marissa, I'm the Toilet Paper worker.( As he poses with 2 rolls of toilet paper.) Parker: I kinda look like him too! (Who knows who he is talking about, maybe the janitor at school...it was so funny).
As I was strapping Kallie in her carseat, she looked at me and said "Is it my turn to drive Mommy?" I laughed and said "NOOOOO!" Kallie said, "AHHH Mom please;..you can show me!"
Parker: Look Mom I have a Prayer rock! Mom: Cool! Parker: I'm going to put in on my pillow. Mom: No, just put it next to your bed, and it will remind you to pray. Parker: No Mom, I put it on my pillow, so when I lay down, I hit my head on it, and go OUCH...oh yah, I gotta pray. Then when I roll over in the morning, I'll hit it again, and say OUCH, I gotta Pray.
