I'm back and ready to blog......

I have been away from the family blog for awhile but I AM BACK! My computer bit the dust and I had to get a new one, plus my camera broke so I had to get it sent away to get fixed. Luckily the camera was still under warranty :)

I have been able to take some pictures of Deidra, Jana and Heather but didn't have a computer to post them at that time. So now it is time to play catch up.

However, I am going to start with the soccer pictures I took at the grade school tournament in Worthington on Saturday. They played 3 games and WON the CHAMPIONSHIP. Heather and Jeremy both played excellent and had numerous goals. The team played very well together and consisted of approximately 5 boys and 7 girls. I am not sure of the exact number maybe Heather can comment exactly what is right with that number. Obviously, they really didn't have the luxory to sub in and out much :) , they played schools with more kids and who fielded teams with more boys then girls and they still won. It was fun to watch, I went right away in the morning but Scott had to work but he was able to make it to the championship game and watch his cousins play ball.

THE SHOOT OUT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WIN ------

well at the end of the game it was tied 0-0, so they played an extra 3 or 5 minutes and it was still 0-0 so it went to a shoot out. Jeremy was playing on the field for the 3 games that day but when it came to the shoot out he was put in as goalie. He gave it all he had but the first two shots went in and we fell behind 2-0 as the opposing team als0 blocked our kicks.

However, then the excitement hit a fever pitch as he blocked the next shot, and we made out kick so it was now 2-1. The next shot he again blocked and our kicker made their goal so it was tied 2-2. Then Worthington had their last kick to try and put them back in the lead and Jeremy blocked it yet again so we were sitll tied 2-2 with one Chandler person to kick. So if you haven't figured it out by now, Jeremy was the final kicker. If he missed, we were still tied and would go into a double shoot out but if he made it we won the championship game - and he made the game winning goal.
