Having 2 boys (and eventually 3) playing multiple sports at the same time can get kind of SPENDY! Dallin and Parker are both going to play baseball a little later on this spring and both wanted to do soccer again as well.
LUCKY for me.....we have fun and creative friends who agree that paying all of this money to let our kids run around to kick a ball was outrageous. SO...we have formed our own league! Check it:
* $20 for a soccer shirt and a picture
*games for 1 hour on Saturdays and both boys play games at the same time (Takes up less time on our Saturdays! Hooray!)
*Kids get to play in the actual games for the full game...no waiting to play!
*NO PRACTICES (I can't tell you how awesome that part is)
*Moms and Dads coach and ref (which they usually do anyway)
*Kids are divided up into different age groups and skill levels(Dal and Parks play eachother 3 different times during the season.....this could be very good or very bad :)
AND all of this takes place at the park in my front yard!
Doesn't get much better than that!
I figure my kids are little and have plenty of years ahead to play for expensive leagues! !
We had 50 kids sign up...crazy huh?
In other news Nate and Chris (a fellow team CF member) participated in their first time trial today. My man ended up getting 3rd place! Pretty impressive for a first time racer!! Proud of you Daddy! 
All this...plus we started working on the garden AND Conference! A crazy and wonderful day!

Sounds like a great day! The soccer shirts came out cute. Good job for Nate and I like the new car!
Oh wow, that soccer set-up sounds cool. Who thought of it? Is there anyway we could sign up or is it to late for that? Preston and Dallin would LOVE IT.
Way to go Nate!
Staci- I think you are brillant to start your own league. We have Dallin in T-Ball and Carter will play soccer in the fall when he is old enough, but they are easily 100.00 a piece. Add that up with all your kids, its a small fortune over several years. I am totally impressed with your mad thinking skills.
Very smart to set up your own league! What a busy Saturday you had. Good job getting all of that done in one day. Congrats to Nate on the race. Wow!!
Jamie,
A lady over off of Amity came up with the idea...we just offered our park and our bathroom! We had to start turning kids away when we got up to 50 but we will be doing this again next year for sure!
That is a really great idea for soccer! If i lived any closer to you I'd have Ethan join.
What a great idea! I've never thought of that. It's so true, when they are young, that's all they need. What an inexpensive way to give them a taste of the sport.
Way to go Nate! Staci, will you email me you phone number. Joe wants to talk to Nate about getting together sometime to do a race. Possibly the one around Tahoe?
