Indoor Soccer

Last week we started indoor soccer season for 10 games.

It was 1st game for me today.

Similar to futsal, there are 5 field players and 1 goalie, but field is more longer and we can use side wall which bounce off the ball.

Axel did good play and got the 2 goals today.

But I don't have any goal but 1 foul.....

After all we lose the game just only 1 point behind.

Then next game was Kevin and Spencer's team.

Both of them got a 1 goal!

But lose it also.

Anyway we will enjoy few months every Monday!

Halloween goods2 and Soccer!

This morning we got up with nice smell of bread which was made by bread maker.

We could have fresh bread in this breakfast. It was so tasty!!

Thanks Rituko!

And we saw the add for Halloween goods were more discount than yesterday.

So I went to shopping with all of kids again.

Haruki and Minami were so happy that they were in their bed room for whole this week.

We got light eye ball, skeleton, Jack-O'-lantern and so on.

During the our shopping, Ritsuko made "Melon bread" but its taste was not melon, just looks.

Kids were so happy to eat again.

After noon, it was Lasers game day.

Today we got lot of points, 8 points.

Axel got two points!!!! Great job, Axel!

I did not get the goal but passed good ball and maybe got 3 assists.

Next week is the last game of this season.

I hope we can win and I get the more goal!

After dinner, we set up the Halloween illumination by the window which was near by the entrance door.

And the kids who do "trick or treat" will be able to see them easily.

We are looking forward to Halloween!

Pretty busy Sunday

It was 5th of Yarkinicos golf cup in Ridgecrest today.

Recently I practiced a lot and getting better skill gradually.

I played Axel, K-san and Jeff.

It was nice weather to play golf, and we could enjoy playing.

I and Axel were leaded two of them and we got best score.

I got 100!

I wished to be under 100, it was almost!

I'm looking forward to next chance.

I and Axel were not able to attend awarding ceremony.

Because .....

It was Sunday, so Laser's game day!

We had game at Ann Morison park today.

Unfortunately we were just 11 people, so it meant we need to play all of 90 minutes.

There were no extra person!!

We had nice game, we got 2 points and lost one at first half.

Then we lost one and got big 1 score at second half, we won!

I had a big chance to shoot, no one was front of mine except the goal keeper.

But my foot had miss kick!!

I couldn't trust my right foot.....

I run and run today, I also run 5km yesterday, finally my leg was gotten cramps!!

Anyway I did my best to play both of golf and soccer, I had a good time.

1 of bad news, Minami had fever today.

I hope she can get better (and not flu) at once .

Halloween Shopping and Soccer

Today we got up early again.
And we went to shopping.
We are still looking for good things for Halloween.

We visited "Halloween Express", where is located Fairview and Milwaukee.
It was special shop for Halloween and open in the Halloween season only.
There were lot of scary skeleton and horror doll, so Otomi stayed on the cart in silence.

Recently Ritsuko was easy to shopping with Otomi, because there were many Halloween goods at several shop, so she is more silence than usual.

After shopping we tried Five Guys hamburger shop.



It was relatively-new shop, and recently it was famous for good taste and true to some one's reputation.

After lunch, It was Soccer time with Lasers!
Today, in the first half, I could not run as I expected.
Then second half, I tried to do my best.
However we lost 6 points and we had no points.
I felt a lot of frustration.
I hope we can have a good game and win in the next week.

Laser's 4th game day!

It was 4th game day of Lasers.

Prior to the game I and Axel went to golf practice.
If it will not be rainy tomorrow, we have round at somewhere.

Today's game was nice game.
We got point at first, and two points in first half.
Then we lost one by PK but near end of the second half we got one more.
After all we won four to one.

I shot the two shoot but not good, I had good pass for goal, so one assist.
Anyway we hope we can good game next Sunday.

GooooaLL!

It was Lasers game day today.

Today we had game Cassia park.

Prior to the game we had sightseeing at Boise down town on trolleybus.

Children were enjoying the tour.

I also was able to relax and small nap?!

Opponents team was tough team and we had balanced game.

We got point at first then the other side got the score again.

The near end of the first half, finally I got a goal!

That was not so beautiful goal, but I was so happy and it seems too much lucky!

The second half we got one more point and lose one.

But we won the game!

It was very nice game and I was so happy!

I hope I can get the point in next game!!

Lasers 2nd game

Today, it was Lasers 2nd game day.

Actually we overslept this morning and our breakfast was too much late then we had no time to eat lunch time.

The game was starting from 3 p.m., my family came to see game but it was windy and little bit chilly, then they got back home after first half was done.

We got a two score in first half, then second half we got five score.

I shot 2 or 3 times but I did not get score...

I try again next game!

Debut@Lasers

Today it was debut day in official real soccer game at Sunset park.

I and Axel joined my co-workers team "Lasers" from this season.

And it was first game day.

It was 45 minutes half full game, We're worry about if we can run and stand all over the game.

But member change was flexible, so we could take a rest to drink and refreshing.

Against team had good skill fast and good pass, so we lost 4 point.

I did my best and just one shoot, but it was no good.

Too much tired, but it was a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to getting point next game? next next...

My ankle !

I played soccer in a lunch break before two weeks and sprained left ankle.

I heard "Buchi!" and chatter from an ankle clearly.

I was not able to stand then.

My left foot became size of around 1.5 times of the right foot in the evening.

I went to hospital and fix it.

I did experience to fix an ankle for the first time.

I have a pain every day.....
