Soccer Parents

Why is it that life gets so busy that you don't always have time to do the things you enjoy doing?  I thought I was back in the saddle, but apparently fell off again.  I am going to try to do much better about keeping up with this blog.  It's not like our lives aren't entertaining.  Between the girls and Ryan I have plenty to write about.  Here is one of the more recent things the Goebels have said or done that I find blog worthy!

Ryan- My wonderful husband got himself kicked out of his very first soccer game this weekend.  If you've ever been involved in youth sports you know it can be pretty intense...both on the field and on the sidelines.  Ryan and I really try not to be "those parents", but it's hard not to get caught up in it all.  Anna's team is currently trying to defend their title as state league champs and most of the teams they play are out for blood, literally!  Yesterday's game got a little out of hand.  (I had to miss the game so this is all second hand information.)  Ryan said he didn't say anything when Anna got a yellow card after a girl slammed into her, but when CC got hit in the head and laid out flat on the ground he just couldn't stop himself.  Here is what he said in his own words..."Ref...you've got to get this game under control or someone is going to get hurt!!"  The ref turned to him and told him to get out.  When another dad tried to back Ryan up he kicked him out of the game too.  Oh boy!  Ryan sat in the parking lot the whole 2nd half of the game.  The girls ended up tying 2-2.
