We did it! After a great regular season, we made the playoff journey all the way to the end and took the U10G Divisional Championship! Talk about an awesome feeling! Yesterday we had only one game standing between us and the championship game when we started the day and we cruised through that game to win 4-1. But as we headed into the championship game, I will say I was nervous. I was playing my friends team who had been undefeated all season..in fact his daughter was on my team last fall, so I knew she was a good player. We wished each other luck and started the game...I think the lead switched back and forth 3 times as we battled it out for the win. In the fourth quarter, we were down 4-3 when my forward who had been struggling all season to score, popped it in to tie 4-4...we went into overtime. In AYSO you are given two 5 minute halfs and then a shootout. I really didn't want to win by a shootout. First half started...right out of the shoot Maegan scored...her 4th of the game..next up Ashlyn! She has been playing Midfield all season for me because she is incredible at stopping the attackers and covering the mid field area...on a throwin the ball bounced off someone and deflected to her where she was centered on goal and slammed it in! We went up 6-4. Second half the other team scored one and then we were able to hold them to a 6-5 VICTORY! What a game...now on July 10th, we are off to The Parade of Champions at the L.A. Galaxy game! David Beckham here we come!

5th Grade Promotion...Off and Running!

Today Ashlyn took part in her 5th Grade Promotion. It was CRAZY to think that she is on her way to middle school next year. We are so proud of her and the student and girl she is. She made Honor roll again this year and recieved many other awards including, citizenship and track. I will miss her next year at the elementary school, but I am so excited for what the next few years will bring. Congratulations Ashlyn! We love you!

Proud Parents!

Friends Forever!

Among all of the "end of the year" activities for 5th grade, one is a field trip to Knott's Berry Farm. We left at 8:30 in the morning and returned at 7:00. We had a great time and outside of a splitting headache, managed to keep up with the girls. Pictured are Ashlyn's BFF'S, Kelsey, Ashlyn, Eva and Alex.

Precisions Spring Olympics

For the past year, Abby has been taking a combination of Cheer and Tumbling classes at Precision Gymnastics. She has loved it! This past weekend she preformed in their Spring Olympics. The cheer team preformed a cheer and routine. In the routine Abby was a flyer in a basket toss! It was great fun. I think this is only the beginning for her and her cheer career. Guess it's time to start saving! Here is Abby and her cheer coach Amanda.

We Just Can't Stay Away!

Yes, here are the "A" girls in front of California Adventure again. See after two years of having nonstop fun with Disneyland/California Adventures, we decided to take a break. Maybe wait a year before renewing our passes...so we let our passes expire. Well, that lasted a whole 2 months. Of course the year we decided not to renew we have family from both sides wanting us to go to Disneyland with them...so, yes you got it, we renewed AGAIN. We just can't stay away.

The Jackson Visit

Jake, Sarah, Kennedy and Pieper came for a visit over memorial weekend! We had such a blast with them. Let's see....Zoo, Concert, Palm Desert, Disneyland, oh and a little "bro-mance" on the side! Yes, Dave and Jake had a blast hanging out together. My girls loved being "older sisters," to Kennedy and Pipee and even their friend Ryan. Abby couldn't get enough. Thanks Sarah and Jake for spending time with us and sharing your vacation with us. We really had a good time!
