Saturday soccer

Saturday morning was our second soccer game - still lovin' my kids. Here we are warming up before the game. I have 3 boys and 3 girls on my team. The other team had 6 boys, so I was a little nervous going into it. We did fine against them - if I have to admit it, I think they probably scored a few more times than we did, but we still had fun ... and we scored quite our fair share of goals, too.



Don't I look like I know what I'm talking about? :)

Shavannen :) This is a good friend of Savannah's whose name is Shannen and when I'm calling them, I have a hard time getting the right name out, so I just decided to call them Shavannen :) She's my "take-it-to-the-goal" girl and does a great job.

Next, we headed down to Hadden's game. Same general area, but a different field. This is Hadden's first year playing and he is at the U6 level - just too stinking cute for words! They play 3 on 3. Hadden is starting to get a little more confidence playing and is having more fun. He and Savannah have been playing in our "dirt" out front.

Is this not a priceless picture or what? Remember, they only have 3 on the field at a time. It's hard to imagine what Hadden might be thinking here! The little one who is more blond is a little firecracker, scoring machine! She knows what to do with a soccer ball. The other one is definitely in the "too-cute-for-words" category - just adorable.

A really cute tradition they have here - the parents line up after the game and make a tunnel for the kids to run under. The kids LOVE it - in fact, they ran through it twice.


After the game - still wearing the gear - smiling from ear to ear...


Completely unrelated, but Hadden found this cool stick bug on our property. It was the coolest little thing - anyone remember the stick bug in "Bug's Life"? I had never seen one before.

Two posts in one day is a record for me, I think. Hope y'all don't mind :)
