G-O-A-L!!!!

the Airplane soccer pose

I have been excited for this moment ever since we found out Brody was a boy! Greg and I both grew up playing sports and I couldn't wait to see our little guys trying different ones out.
Our first one is soccer. The kids were kinda thrown into the game on Sat. because the first practice was rained out. (It has rained SO much lately. In fact it's raining right now.)
Anyway- We met early for the kids to run a few drills and meet each other. It was SO fun to watch. I know We're totally first timers, As you can tell from the bu-zillion pictures and video, but Greg and I totally had a blast watching Brody play.



Waiting for his turn to kick
Look at him! What a pro.
Brody with his buddy Evan. We didn't even know he was going to be on his team. Another friend from school is also on the team. Brody is so happy!



I think all the kids did a pretty good job. There is one little boy (Noah) who you can already tell will be playing in High school. He was the only one who was focused and fighting for the ball every-time. The best was when this little boy was following his team mate, who had the ball, toward the goal. Just when our team was about to score, Noah grabbed his team- mates jersey and pulled him back because he wanted to make the goal. It was so funny!



Getting ready to start the game.
Tate really wanted to play too.

So fun, I love the enthusiasm! We love sports for our kids too. It's so much fun for everyone involved. Keep the pictures coming, you never can be too proud, when you're a Mom!!! It just reminds me to get out there and take more pictures. Poor 2nd and 3rd children, I totally went overboard with Carson, and need to do better on my cute little girls. :) Thanks for the reminder....

Soccer is the best with little boys. They have such a blast and the games are hilarious! It is fun to catch up with your family through the blog! We changed ours after the move to www.PAellsworths.blogspot.com

You know, Your husband broke my thumb as we were practicing before a soccer practice. i had a cast up to my elbow for weeks! I still hold a grudge. I told him I didn"t want to be goalie. Darn you Greg!!!!

Too fun... boys and soccer! Jonas tried soccer a year ago and it was a joke... he spent most of the time spanking the coaches bum and climbing the net. Maybe we should give it another try since he is a year older... I have to say I love the idea of watch your boys play a sport with the cool uniforms and everything... super fun. My favorite thing you did was the "after game interview" with the thumbs up... GO BRODY!
