Saturday's

So for the last month this is the typical Saturday for the Amasio family. We get up around 7am or earlier. It just depends on where Joshua's football game is. All of his games start at 9am, but he has to be there at 8am. So if we have to go out of town, then we are up much earlier. So this week it was at our home field, which was nice. They played Bountiful. It was a great game. Joshua ran 40 yds for a touchdown, his 2nd touchdown of the year. We lost by 1 point. It was 13-12. Kind of a heartbreaker loss. They played so hard! Joshua has worked so hard. In the beginning when football practices started him and Lloyd would come home after and work on the plays and study the playbook. I am so proud of him. He plays tight end on offense and middle linebacker on defense and is also the punt returner on the kickoff returns. He does great and seems to love it!!


So usually the football games get over close to 10:30. Then we rush to get Savani and Joshua to their soccer games. Yes I did say Joshua. When we signed him up for both sports we didn't really know they would overlap this closely with each other. I know what your thinking. There was a talk I think last conference that spoke about not over scheduling your kids. I think I am a little guilty of that this time. So most of the time Joshua has been able to get to his soccer games at half time and play the 2nd half. He loves soccer as well. The league that we are in when you sign them up, it is for both seasons. So in Spring there will be no football to interfere with soccer for him. So he made it to his 2nd half of his soccer game and scored 7 goals for his team. They won 9-1. He is great at soccer. We had 2 boys that used to live next to us that are Hispanic and that's all them and Joshua would do all day long is play soccer. Joshua learned so many skills from them.

Savani and Joshua's games are during the same time. So me and Lloyd have to take turns watching them. It was sad because I ran over to see how Joshua's team was doing and left Siera to watch Savani for a minute. I ran back just in time to have Siera tell me that Savani scored a goal. Sooo funny! You never know what will happen with 4 yr olds that are playing. Most of the time Savani just flirts with the boys on the other team and doesn't care what's going on with the game. What can you expect with that age???


After Joshua and Savani's games we have about a half hour break before Siera's soccer game starts at 1pm. We hurried and ran to Wendy's and got some lunch before her game started. My sister Tara was in town and her and my Mom were kind enough to spend the day with us.



This is Siera's 2nd year playing soccer. We started her at about age 4 and then never put her in again until now. I wish we would of left her in. She is doing very well though. She is a great defender. I love soccer because it is such great exercise for the kids.




After Siera's game we usually get home just in time to start watching football on TV. This week BYU had a bye and so Lloyd took the kids home for us and my Mom, me and my sister Tara went and pampered ourselves with a pedicure. It was a fun day. We have been so lucky to have such nice weather throughout on these Saturdays. I am just hoping it last through October. Thanks Tara for hanging with us a little bit before you had to drive home back to Vegas. :) So is anyone else have crazy days like this? I guess it will just get busier as they get older. I love it though and wouldn't change anything. It's been so fun watching all of them!!

Sounds crazy!! Mine's not that bad. I'm glad I don't have two games going at the same time. Nik and Kowhai have clashing schedules with rehersals for the play for her and his games, but Phil and I just split up. The last two Saturdays were crazy crazy cause Kowhai had two birthday parties each Saturday. It kind of makes life fun though doesn't it? Can't count on Saturdays to be family chore day anymore, that's for sure!!

Hey Kristi-
Life is crazy. My boys have soccer and flag football on the same night, same time - we just split up and each take a game. Add in dance, church activities (and callings), bithday parties,play dates and let's not forget school and homework. We have officially become the typical, over scheduled, american family.

Sounds something like my life, except take away football and add dance for Aubrey and Drill Team for Kelle, Yikes! I wonder how we make it most days as I am sure you do as well. PS my favorite picture... the pedicure, looks great! Maryann

It was so fun to see you! I'm glad I was able to see some of the kids' games that morning as well. And I'm so happy we decided to do pedicures. I needed it soooo bad! Love ya
