Soccer Soccer Soccer

Monday-Friday evening for the past 8 weeks have been on the soccer field. Mom LOVES watching her kids play, but I am excited for a little break!

Zack was a little culture shocked when he started to play this year. He was not used to 12 kids on the field, twice if not three times the field size, and goalies! He noticed quickly that it was going to be a little tougher! At first he backed off, but at the end of the season this kid was tearing it up. He almost scored several goals and if he was not on, his team suffered. He had, and i'll be honest, a terrible team. They were cute grass pickers, but they lost EVERY game. Zack was the defender that kept them from getting super squashed every game. He did so well and had so much fun! He is already asking when we are going to sign him up again. I was so proud of him for not giving up! Mom needs a break from everyday at the field, but it will come again soon enough!

With taking all 4 kids myself some Tuesdays when Dan had meetings, I failed to have the hands to take pictures on the last 2 games....But, we will get more next time! He got a super cute photo for his team picture!

 Levi has always played in this league, and it has always been pretty tough. It has been good for him! He is the youngest in his grade, so typically he gets challenged when he plays. It is now paying off! It was a fun year to watch since he discovered his competitive side recently. No more distractions and all ball game now. He was so fast and was their best defender hands down and aggressive. He worked so hard for a goal this season, and got one on his very last game! He was so excited to FINALLY score his first goal in rec soccer...it is tough with so many kids, big fields, and goalies. There are only a handful of goals each game now, so it was so fun for his hard work to pay off in the end!
 His goal!


 His team picture was sooooo funny. He looks in pain, but he really does LOVE soccer!
