School Soccer Team...... UNDEFEATED

The school soccer team finished the season undefeated. They won all 6 games, John made an amazing save in the second half and was congratulated by the opposing coach. The boys all played fantastic and battled on until the end, they played Horizon today who were also unbeaten. Play offs now are on the 3rd November. We will have friends here from Liverpool to come and cheer them on too.

Old Enough to Bike Ride to school......

So Sam has been driving me insane for months about riding his bike to school. Finally, I decided that maybe he is old enough to cycle to school by himself, although letting him go off on his own my heart was in my mouth........ John does not want to cycle he is still going to have me take him in the car to school. Sam is ready to set off, and here he is off on his own. He looks such a big boy on his bike with his backpack and helmet on, he leaves the house at 8.05am and it takes him about 10 minutes to get there. Also he gets home the same time as John and I walk through the door. The boys are off now for 2 days so we are just gonna relax and chill out might take them the movies and hang out at the pool for a few days to top off my tan...........

School Soccer Team 5 wins 0 losses

The school soccer team are on a roll we have won all 5 games we have played so far, only 1 more game to go. We played our only away game tonight at Bellalago and it was a tough game, the score was 3-1 the boys all played really well and they can all now taste the championship. Our next game is Wednesday 22nd then its onto the finals....... The picture is of John at Celebration soccer fields, I didn't take my camera to Bellalago so much for being a blogger I never have my camera with me. It happened the other night we came home from our friends and we drove past 3 huge black hogs out by the lake. We stopped to take a look at them and they just grunted and stirred at us for a long time before running off to the woods, after that night I said I was always going to have my camera with me..........!!!!

The Pink Swoosh....

So here it is, its Breast Cancer Awareness month and as promised Sam has changed his swoosh in his baseball cleats to Pink...... he is so thoughtful to keep remembering these woman who are suffering from this illness. Just a quick shout out to Jeanette my tennis partner, get well soon I am missing you on court, I keep losing on court without you, and you know how I hate to lose.......!!!!!!

The Eagles

Johns new Baseball team are called The Eagles. We are doing fantastic we have played 8 games and we have won 7 of them. We have a tournament that we are gonna play over the Halloween weekend, its going to be great, and our friends Karen and Alan will be here from England to watch the games. John is now playing in left field and is doing a good job, he has made loads of catches in the outfield and his hitting has really improved. The coaches are really good with the kids and John really enjoys this team.

Friends from the "pool"

We have hooked up over here with Robert Lacy and his wife Louise. Robert used to own Lacy Roofing in Liverpool and now has come over to Florida to live. They live over in Keanes Pointe and have a great house on the lake and have a Jet Ski, of course when the Birchy's arrive all hell breaks loose and everyone is ragging the jet ski around the lake, screaming and laughing breaking the peaceful evening. John took a little bit of persuading to get on the jet ski after Keith scared him in Grand Cayman, but once he was on he went off on it by himself and he was away he wouldn't get off. Rob is a massive Liverpool fan just like us and ofcourse the Liverpool flag had to come out to please Sam. We really miss the footie so it was nice to talk Liverpool stuff.

School Soccer Team....

I haven't got any photographs my camera isn't working but I thought I would blog anyway. Johns school soccer team is playing really really well. We have played 4 games and won them all. John has only let in 1 goal , he is doing fantastic. The goal he let in was a brilliant goal "Pepe" would not have saved it. John is captain of the team and takes his role really serious, he organizes his back line and tells the team where they should be. There are only 6 games in the season so only 2 more to go to make it to the finals which I think we have a great chance of winning. Great job John......
