    Tara & I were unable to attend Jayden's game today, so Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry volunteered to take her. They were pretty amazed at how fast Jayden has gotten over the past year, and that she can actually play soccer a little bit! She scored her team's first and last goals today, but that wasn't enough to secure her team the "victory". Although scorekeeping is taboo at this age group, we just can't help ourselves! Today her team lost 5-4, and once again she wasn't very happy about that. She was pleased with her two goals, however, so that made up for some of her disappointment. The score got closer this week, so maybe next week will bring on a true victory for her team...
