It's soccer season again for Greyson.  
We got to go to his game on the second hottest day of the year.
Grey has a great team and great coaches.



There was a lot of water sprayed....

kicks and jumps

and concentration going on.
Go Purple Tornados!

Coach Geoff & Coach Geoff...

these two guys were roommates many, many years ago in Costa Mesa & Newport...
now here they are coaching their sons soccer team.

Geoff and Parker and Geoff and Greyson







I'm sure all those years ago they never would have imagined 
spending Sundays on a little soccer field!
It's nice to see things like this.

Father's Day...

Part of Father's Day was spent at the soccer field at Grey's game. 

The Moysa men...

Emme spent a lot of time with her poppa looking at ants and the bark on trees and
playing with a soccer ball every chance she got,

Geoff helped coach the team,




Poppa giving some after game encouragement



and off to get shave ice.

My husband is such a great father and a wonderful grandfather.
I love love all those Moysa men!

Soccer Air...

I love that my new camera catches action
shots...
soccer games are the perfect way to show that.





one side note*
with the sports setting, I end up with 400+ photos
because it takes them so fast.  
Yup, I do love my camera.

Soccer changes

I happened to have been here at the beginning of Lauren's soccer season.  Now that season is ending.  This last Saturday she had two games, a regular one and a make up one. 
The change in her from the first game of the season to this point is amazing.  She's feeling more confident in her ability, listening to the coach about positions and has discovered that she can run the field and kick that ball with some force.



We're so proud of you Lauren.  Good Job!

Saturday Soccer and a Surprise Visitor...

On Saturday morning we went to Lauren's soccer game.  It was such a good game, so close.  She was all over that ball. 
 Later that afternoon we went to Jack's game.  This age group is so funny!  They look like a swarm of bees following the ball.  I love that at the end of every game the parents do this and all the kids go through.
 Just when we were getting to Lauren's game in the morning, my phone rang.  It was our neighbor Ed!  He asked me where we were and I told him at a soccer game.  He was heading south to San Diego and was just in San Juan Capistrano, after 5 minutes away.  So I gave him directions to the field (which is right off the freeway) and he stopped by!  He was laughing at Terry and I, "glad to see you guys are keepin' it real, shorts and slippers".  Lauren got to see Ed and he got to see her play for a little bit. 
The sweaters, flannel shirts and long pants show that we were cold.  Hubby had a jacket that he hadn't put on yet.
My sister Penny had also spent the night with us, so she was also at the game.  Lauren had quite the cheering section.  It was really fun.

We also ran into Amanda, her husband Michael, their kids and her dad Rick.  Rick had been Traci's soccer coach for years when she was growning up.  Small world.
Mahalo Ed for stopping by.

Saturday Soccer

Last Saturday was the start of soccer season.  We got to go to both kids games which was fun.  For 1 quarter Lauren played goalie, which is very nerve-wracking, but she likes it.
This was Jack's first year playing.  In his age division, the coaches are allowed on the field with them.  It's the funniest thing, the kids just run around in a swarm after the ball.  He had a great time!
Go Swarm and Go Ninjas!

the "animal"

When I was in CA, I got to go to a couple of Lauren's soccer games. This year she has really "gotten it". After this game she called her Poppa and told him she played like "an animal".










I love the look of determination on her face. She's really had a great time this year, ( we think part of this could also be that she's feeling better). Spider Chicks...you rock!

soccer 2008

This was Lauren's 2nd season playing soccer and she had such a good time. This team was made up mostly of girls from her school. Going to these games really brought back a lot of memories of the Saturdays we spent at Traci & Geoff's games. Not much has really changed, except now they really don't have the felt banners that some mom glued together. The new versions are so nice...fancy and made by a company. Progress!

Good Job Lauren! We're so proud of you.

I'm going to try and use this new format to get some of the "kazillion" photos posted from my trip.

Aloha,
Jane
