I made a video of Irving explaining why Soccer is the best game ever.
Enjoy!
Bend it like Beckham! October 27, 2009
We were super fortunate to know people in high places (Hi Ashley!) and we scored amazing seats at the Galaxy Game Saturday night. We had gone to a Soccer Game (AKA: Football) in Europe in September, but we hadn’t been to one in our own city, so we thought it was a great opportunity.
Wow, we can’t believe what we had been missing! The game was sooo much fun! It’s fast paced, the athletes are literally sprinting for the whole time. They were flying in the air, slamming the ball with their heads and skidding across the field. It was awesome! And Beckham himself played almost the whole game! I had my eye peeled for Ms. Victoria Beckham too.. but I couldn’t find her. 🙂
And now I present the “Beckham Photo Montage”:
Here’s a video of part of the game!
In typical Kelley fashion, I was in the right place at the right time, and I was chosen to be in the Half Time Show!!! It was the “Soccer Mom Challenge” sponsored by Tide! I was on a relay team and we had to dribble the ball up the field!
Look at me go!! HAHA!
Mr. Pringles was waiting at the end! My team won!!! (I’m in the middle of these three girls!)
What did I win, you ask? A huge basket full of Tide stuff! Detergent, fabric softener, paper towels, razors, shaving cream, toothpaste and a toothbrush! SCORE!
Good thing I have a handsome strong husband to carry the prize!
And then to make an already perfect evening even BETTER…. this happened:
Yup.
Here’s a close up of the awesome Soccer Mom prize!
File under… you know you’re getting old when…
Helsinki: Scandinavian Glory September 10, 2009
Being in Helsinki was a much different experience than being in Russia. The mentalities of the countries are stark contrasts. 
Everywhere we travel, there’s at least one building completely covered in scaffolding somewhere. We always joke about it actually. I mean, it’s great they’re restoring these old landmarks, but I want to see it as it should be! 
We’re pretty big soccer fans (and so were all our Aussie tourmates), so when we found out that the Women’s Euro Finals were being held at the Olympic Stadium, we jumped at the chance!
Plus, I’m a sucker for Olympic Stadiums, I’d love to visit all of them before I die!
On our second day in Finland, we decided to board a ferry to visit the country of Estonia. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump away!
