GO SPAIN!
I grew up in Spain, so my childhood includes late nights of soccer playing and mornings of sleeping in later than any semi-productive American (even teen) would dare. I can't apologize for my fútbol frenzy, or my love of the Spanish Selection Team (AKA. La Furia Roja= The Red Furry) because that just wouldn't be quite right since I am in no way ready to renounce this insanity. Especially not now that it has affected all the members of our family. For the games we are all wearing red, right down to the chickens, who dyed their combs red just for the occasion. We had no idea (note: NO IDEA) that España would make it beyond their first loss...but lets not go there since we only have on thing in mind right now:Spain winning the World Cup.
The final game is Sunday, we'll see how they do. I know I will be sweating, shaking and just out of control the whole game. Oh, and after it is over we'll call our cable company and get rid of this cable for the next four years at least :)
So can you guess what we have been up to in the back yard !?
Watch this video to get the full energy behind this game:
With a win Spain would not only have won the European Cup, but also the World Cup!!

Your kids are so cute!
I’m not a fan of soccer, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Spain. :)

I can’t believe how much Ezra has gotten into the the World Cup too! He loves it and even asks to watch it during the day when Ross is at work. Grace is even throwing her arms up now and saying. “Gowww” (goal). Very fun times! I love the pictures of the boys playing soccer. Miss you all!

It is the same with the boys, they sit and cheer- and yesterday they even watched the whole game a second time when Brad got home! Loving this soccer insanity right now.

I love finding fellow soccer fans and your kids are too cute! I’ll have to butt heads with you on the final though, I’m a huge Netherlands fan.

I LOVE these pictures! And I am now cheering for Spain, don’t tell andrew.
Oliver makes a very good looking soccer player, kind of looks like a little kid from the 70s. I am not quite sure about Jackson’s choice athletic attire ;)

I wouldn’t say I was cheering for Spain from the start, but my hubby was sure they will reach the Finals :)
I was a bit disappointed at Argentina’s sad loss…
Your babies look so cute! And they look taller!
