This Ain't the Ritz

This was the sign posted in our "luxurious" hotel room in Flagstaff.

Lovely floral comforter only $80. I'm thinking of buying my mother in law one for Christmas.

Sheet set for the bargain price of $60 and blanket for $50. Ryan refused to get under the covers. He thought it would be safer to sleep on top of the comforter.

$25 for a flat pillow.

Where else can you find white scratchy bath towels that smell like bleach? A hospital maybe?

I guess they were fresh out of coffee makers and ironing boards. Too bad. I still have a lot of Christmas shopping to do.

O'Connor Lady Eagles

So Anna (with the help of her dad) designed the new practice shirts for high school this year.

Pretty sweet!

Kayla's team is amazing this year! So far they are 8 and 1 this season with 48 goals for and only 2 against. Right now they are undefeated in the state of AZ (7 and 0) with 45 goals for and 0 against. The pictures were taking in Flagstaff at the Soccer at the Summit tournament. They went 4 and 0 with 28 goals for and 0 against. What great chemistry this team has. Looking forward to watching their progress this year!

National Training

From what I could see from the parking lot, the girls showed really well at the training session last night. There were about 40 girls there. They had Kayla play defense most of the night. She said she got some good comments like, "nice tackle" or "great pass". One of the coaches came over and asked Kayla and 2 of her teammates for their numbers so I hope that is a good sign. The next training session is in November. They may or may not get asked back for that one, but they could be asked back in the future. Kayla went out there and did her thing so you can't ask for anything more. Depends what they are looking for. We are proud of her and the other girls for sure!

From the US Soccer Federation

Kayla was invited by the U.S. Soccer Federation to participate in the U.S. Soccer Training Center tonight. U.S. Soccer Training Centers are designed to replicate national team training camps. They are set up around the country to try and identify players for their national teams! As the National Governing Body of soccer in the United States, and under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee, they are empowered and charged with developing the teams that represent the United States in all international competitions such as the Olympics and World Cup. The training center program is an integral part of this process.

This is a BIG DEAL and we are so proud of Kayla! A few of her teammates were invited as well and we wish them all good luck as they go through this process!!!!
