Water Slide Back Yard Fun

The summer heat is winding down, but the kids still want to play in the water in the back yard. They really enjoy putting the water

hose on the trampoline and also down the slide. Last week our neighbor came over to play with them too. This day was especially fun because Greg had just mowed the yard and there were piles of clipped grass to make "pies" out of.

GO COBRAS!!

Well, Nelson is half-way through his third season with the Cobras and things are going great. Nelson has really improved over the last year and we love to watch him play soccer. The Cobras are amazing! I bet the other team looks at the schedule and cringes when they see "Cobras" next to their team name. Out of the last 25 games they have played, they have only lost one game (first game of the first season) and tied a game last season. Okay, thanks for letting me brag a little. :) We feel this is a really special opportunity for Nelson to be part of something so great.

Coach Clay is so encouraging and patient. The boys are used to each other now and are playing more as a team every game. Nelson is very defense minded. At our last game the Cobras were so far ahead that Coach Clay was wanting the other team to score (I don't think they made one goal,) but Nelson wouldn't let one ball get passed. He is like a trained robot. Coach: "Nelson . . . let the other team score." Nelson : "DOES NOT COMPUTE, DOES NOT COMPUTE." :) Here are a few pictures from the last couple of games.
