Under 11 Mexican League Champions!

Congrats!
Preston with Special Award "Most Goals Scored" in League play!

Premier takes home the trophy!

OLE! OLE! OLE! The Under 10 (boys 9-10 years old) Premier team that Preston plays on and Jeff coaches has won the Under 11 (boys 10 -11 yeas old) Mexican League Championship. The games consisted of regular season play and then playing two different teams in an aggregate series of games. The final two games included a win by Premier 3-1 which put our team ahead by 2 goals. The boys had to play the same team and lost 1-2 but still won the tournament because it went off of total goals scored out of the two games 4- 3. The boys were so excited and the parents too! Jeff really loves working with the boys, he hugged each one of them as the gold medals were being passed out. Preston was awarded with a special individual trophy for most goals scored out of all of the teams throughout the entire season! What an honor . . . way to go Preston! I was proud of my boys (Jeff and Preston) and excited for all of the boys on the team as they played their little hearts out!

More soccer to come as both Parker and Preston will be playing in the Turkey Shoot Tournament starting this Friday! We will have 4 games on Friday and 4 games on Saturday!
GO TEAM!

Random Thoughts from a Pregnant Lady!

Thanksgiving . . . . is it all about the food . . .is there really a feeling of "THANKS"? I love this time of year. Yes, the food is great but it is a time of reflection as well. I am not a fan of being pregnant . . . but re: the food I will not have to worry about unbuttoning the pants, maternity jeans are great, nice and stretchy!

I was grateful for the reminders at church to have and show gratitude in our everyday lives. I am truly blessed and I hope and pray that I can be more diligent in showing my gratitude toward my family, friends, and my Savior.

I have appox. 5 weeks left until baby girl Judd arrives. I guess it is time to officially come out of denial! I still have been teaching dance. It is frustrating to not be able to bend, move, and stretch. It is amazing how fast the time has gone by. . . I guess that is because I just realized that a baby is really coming to our home in this last month. Yikes . . . .does anyone know of a really good eye cream . . . those sleepless nights are right around the corner!

I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving!

Kennedy . . . Not a Fan of Rodeo and "Lauren"

Preston and Kennedy were flipping through the channels on the TV late Friday night. All of a sudden from the other room I hear Kennedy crying, " They are killing baby goats why are they letting them do that!" I ran into the other room and she was clearly upset as tears were coming down her face. I looked at the TV to see what they were watching and it was a timed rodeo event where they rope the calf and turn it on their back and tie three of their legs together. I thought that it was so cute that she was so concerned for the animals. I tried to explain to her (without laughing) that it was a contest and the baby cow was not getting hurt. She still did not like how it looked and was concerned for the calf . . . . we turned the channel.

NAMES . . . . it is a challenge trying to find the right name for a baby. You try to think of all of the ways that it could be made fun of or if it sounds great for a baby name, but you not as an adult name. One of the names that we really like is our neighbors dogs name. Can we name our baby after a dog? We thought we narrowed it down to a "K" name. Our email address has our initials in it. P's, J's and and a K. Kennedy insists that we need another K name for her baby sister. We have brainstormed many names . . . some of the favorites are Khloe, Katelyn, Kylie, Kourtney, Kali . . . it is so hard to decide. Jeff and I started thinking of other names that do not start with the letter "K". So I decided to ask the kids what they thought about the name "Lauren". Kennedy immediately said "Lauren sounds like an old lady that has a uni brow". Obviously . . . I then realized we need to stick with a "K" name. Kids say the funniest things! If you have any suggestions, please share!

Runnin' Rebel Fever in our house!

It is that time again. Rebel Basketball Season. Jeff loves the Rebels and can spout off all sorts of Rebel Basketball trivia and history. He is a BIG fan! The kids look forward to the games and we have a great time going as a family! We love watching them play. The kids know all of the players by name. Preston ran into Hamga (UNLV's Center 7 foot something) at McDonalds while he was with his friend. He went right up to him and talked with him for awhile. The next week we ran into the Assistant Coach Shepard at Cafe Rio we talked with him for awhile he came over to our table while he was waiting for his food. Preston told him that he had seen Hamga at McDonalds. Preston proceeded to tell coach that Hamga was eating a Big Mac and french fries coach laughed and said that they were trying to keep him away from Big Macs.

The first game of this season took place on Tuesday. Before we went to the game Kennedy had dance for 3 1/2 hours and Preston had a soccer game in the Mexican League for the Finals. His team won 4 - 0. They are playing up a year. Preston had 2 goals and one assist. He played great! They continue their goal to win the league Championship on Saturday. I left Kennedy at dance to watch his game on Sandhill and Bonanza then drove back and got Kennedy then went straight to the Basketball game. The Juddbus was in service all night! We had a good time at the Rebel game. We have had the same seats for about 4 years and have made some friends over the years. (even though it seems we are in the Senior Citizen section.) It is great the kids have "Rebel" Grandparents we look froward to seeing them every season.

I don't know how many more of the games that I will be able to attend . . . I am afraid that I won't be able to fit in the seats much longer. Yikes!
