Soccer Star

Jamie scored 11 goals in yesterday's soccer game. He also assisted in two other goals. He is so much faster than most of the other kids, he is definitely ready to move up to the next level. He's having fun.

A Serious Problem Has Been Detected...

This is sooooo not what you want to see when you turn on the TV with plans to record the Broncos game. The "serious problem" was translated by tech support as a hard disc drive failure which necessitates a new DISH receiver. It should arrive on Wednesday. I was able to record the game on the other receiver, though, so it wasn't a total loss. We were still able to watch our Broncos WIN!!!

Fall Soccer

Jamie is playing soccer again this fall. Parks & Rec changed the format of youth soccer for the fall season, making it more compliant with Colorado State Youth Soccer. There are some major changes as far as field size, team size, etc but, it is a good move for the overall soccer program in Alamosa. It seems like a step backwards for Jamie but, he's having fun. We are having to hold our tongues and allow him to just have fun. We will definitely be glad to move up to the next age level in the spring!

Harvest Moon

So, I somehow lost an entire day this week! I vaguely remember Tuesday because Jamie had soccer practice and it was Shelby's birthday. I also had an online class on Tuesday night and was supposed to preregister for another class (10% coupon expired on Tuesday), which I totally spaced out until Wednesday. You can imagine my shock when I went to do these things on Wednesday to find that I was a day late!
I did somehow manage to watch the moon rise on Tuesday, though, and take these photos. I couldn't get my tripod to cooperate, though, so it was frustrating. I took at least 50 shots but only these two were good. Thank goodness for digital!

Sunset

This was the view of the sunset from the backyard this evening...

The Return of the Tooth Fairy

Jamie's other top tooth has been hanging by a thread for a couple of days and today he complained that it was hurting. Tonight, before bed, he asked me to pull it out. Jamie was so excited that the tooth fairy would be coming again, although she didn't have much of a warning.
