Closer...

A tennis ball is clearly not a basketball. Marshall is working on dunking and should be able to throw it down by the end of summer.

Moriah loves soccer

Moriah finished Winter 1 today. She had the privilege of working with Sydney's coach, Matt Iverson. We are so impressed with her skill, effort, and speed. She did step-overs, scissors, and multiple push Maradonas today against a first grade team. Way to go, Little Hammy!

Thanksgiving

Today we celebrated our first Thanksgiving in our new home. The tree is up. The house is decorated. We had a wonderful 24lb bird today. We all have so much to be thankful for.

Soccer > Baseball

Thankful everyday that our kids play soccer and not baseball.

 Gladly up until midnight tonight watching SKC lose their first round playoff match in penalties.

Varsity minutes

Marshall played nineteen minutes in the second half of the VARSITY match on Monday evening. He almost found the back of the net but ended up with an assist. 

New club. New team. Another medal

At the end of last soccer season, Sydney informed us that she was ready for a new challenge. After several conversations with her, she informed us that she wanted to play with boys. Sydney has always had the desire and drive to play soccer at the highest level. She believes that in order to reach her goals she must push herself.

Sydney now plays for KC Legends on a U12 boys' team and a U13 girls' team.  She is currently developing more foot skills on the ball while playing against stronger and faster players. 

Her team won the CSI Tournament last weekend. She had several goals and played an integral part in the team becoming champions. 

Sydney has a framed picture in her room. It reads...

Dreams don't work

Unless you do!

She lives that motto and we are so proud.

Ooooh Liam

Daddy and daughter at One Direction. Sydney finally got to see her precious Liam. 

4th of July

Sydney played 3 soccer games in the morning. We then returned home for food, and fireworks. Moriah loved the smoke bombs. In the evening, we headed to town for a concert and to enjoy the night-time firework display.

New house = New Projects

Edith Greene

On Friday, April 10 Sydney Hammett represented Pawnee Elementary at the Shawnee Mission Hero Assembly. Sydney was chosen by staff for her inspired enactment of Edith Greene. If you know Sydney's passion for sports, then it is easy to understand why Title IX is so important to her.

Lexus Cup in Tulsa

Sydney and I headed to Tulsa last weekend for the Lexus Cup Tournament. 

Her team only allowed 3 goals all weekend. 

Sydney finished the tournament with 3 goals and 1 assist.

Sydney's team won all four matches and they were crowned U11 Gold Division Champions.

I enjoyed the father-daughter bonding time we had over the weekend and it was also nice to bring the "hardware" back home to Kansas for the second year in a row.
