Green Gators Soccer

Anthony's, one of the coaches that I coach with, father in law is a photographer. He offered to come and take pictures of our team and the kids since they don't take team photos in Ocean Rec. He did a great job!

Pumpkin Fest

Stu, Brandon, and Wesley were off on Columbus Day so Stu took the boys to the Pumpkin Fest at Delicious Orchards. Everyone said they had a good time there despite it being crowded from so many other people having the day off.

Last Weekend

Last Friday, Brandon and Wesley had spirit day at their school. They had to wear their favorite team shirt. Brandon chose to wear his Warriors jersey and Wesley wanted to wear his Pirates t-ball shirt.

Brandon's travel soccer team had a tournament in Wall last weekend. Their first game was on Friday at 6:00. They played so well. It was a tie game until literally the last second when the other team scored and the whistle blew immediately following the goal. They had their second game on Saturday afternoon in the pouring rain. They played really well again but lost again by one point towards the final minutes of the game. They were supposed to have two games on Sunday but they cancelled the Sunday games since it continued to rain all night and on Sunday. Brandon seemed to really enjoy playing in the tournament. At the end of each game they traded patches with the teams they were playing which was neat.

Wesley didn't want to stay at the game in the rain so my dad took him back to Point Pleasant with him. Wesley talked him into bringing him to the arcade.

After the soccer game one of players on Brandon's team invited the kids back to his house. Brandon was so excited to go. Julian's mom ordered pizza for the kids and they hung out and played. We went out to dinner with my parents. After dinner Wesley posed for some pictures with some Halloween displays at the mall.

On Sunday, we went to Jack's 3rd birthday party.

Soccer and All Dressed Up

Brandon had a soccer game last week. Unfortunately his team lost 3-0. Brandon got a soccer ball pin after the game from his coaches for playing good defense. He was really excited because he got to be one of the team captains which meant he got to wear the captain band the whole game and go out for the coin toss in the beginning of the game.

Rosh Hashana was on Monday. We brought the kids to the kids service in the morning. Brandon and Wesley looked really nice in their dress clothes.

Finally Fall

Last weekend the weather finally got cooler out. Fall weather is here! We had a busy weekend. On Saturday, Wesley had a soccer game. He had some good kicks and at one point kicked the ball pretty far down the field.

After Wesley's game we went to Toys R Us to meet up with Wesley's friends, Kennedy and Olivia. Toys R Us was having a lego building event. All of the kids who went got to build the candle holder from Beauty and the Beast and it was free.

Our town was having a fall fest so we went straight there from Toys R Us. There were bounce houses for the kids, tattoos, and games. Both Brandon and Wesley won goldfish since they threw their balls into the bowls.

On Sunday, Brandon had his soccer game. His team won 5-4.

We then went to Great Adventure. My friends from college, Jill and Chuck, happened to be there. We walked into Great Adventure and they walked by us. It was so nice to see them. I think the last time I saw them Brandon wasn't even one yet. We had a lot of fun at Great Adventure. Brandon and I went on the Joker which spun us upside down a few times. Both Brandon and Wesley went trick or treating where the characters were.
