Marcie In Goal For The First Time On Saturday September 13, 2008

On Saturday, Marcie's West Hills Orange Peels soccer team played against a team from the city of Aloha, Oregon. Marcie's team lost by a score of 6 to 1.

There was good news, Marcie was asked to play keeper (goalie) only 5 minutes before the game started. This was the first time she has ever played keeper and she did a fantastic job. She played the first half of the game and the Aloha team only scored two goals against her. See above video to watch Marcie's performance in goal.

Our Children Sell Lemonade in Beaverton, Oregon

Earlier today our children, Marcie, Ethan and best friend Marina decided to earn spending money by setting up and running a lemonade stand in Beaverton, Oregon. The kids named the business " Lemonade Stand Inc." and located the business on the corner of the street next to our home. 

The kids took full advantage of it being Sunday and St. Cecilia's Church being across the street from our home. The kids served about 30 cups of lemonade, mostly to members of the church. Watch the above video and watch the kids in action.
