I'm just saying...

"All, to, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression." Thomas Jefferson, the third President the United States, the principle author of the Declaration of Independence, and one of the most influencial founding fathers.

Mickey Cox Cowgirls

Lanais is about to finish her soccer season as well (note previous post). This is her 3rd year playing and she mostly plays goalie and forward. She has scored a few times and has had countless saves in the goal. I never thought I would have a goalie for a daughter. Everytime she gets scored on I feel it 10 times worse than her. She is slowly showing some passion for the game, she gets angry when they are not doing well and she gets very excited when they do (for those who know Lanais well,you understand how that is significant) She has played with the same core group of girls for 2 seasons and it is a fantastic group of kids. Lanais is extremely busy between soccer, dance and school but she is handling it really well. I am very proud of her hard work.

Mickey Cox Rockets

Hunter played his first season of soccer this year at Mickey Cox. Scott and I coached his little team and it was SOOOOOOOOO much fun. Basically "soccer" at this age is three 5 year olds versus three other 5 year olds on a very tiny field all mashed together fighting for a little bitty soccer ball and trying to make into tiny little nets. It is a total free for all, and very funny to watch.

Hunter turned out to be a good little player he understands the field well, he has really good ball control, he gets the difference between offense and defense and does a great job of changing back and forth. Hunter made many new friends as did Scott and I. We are looking forward to many years of watching our kids play sports, this was just a taste.
