Soccer Star

Our kids are playing Soccer at the church again this fall. We have 4 out of 5 playing. Sydney, Dylan and Macy are all on the same team...and Garrett is on the older team. Dylan has been a scoring machine. After scoring 3 goals in his first game, he told me that he was the BEST SOCCER PLAYER EVER....he was so proud of himself, and we were proud of him to...so we let him gloat a little... Then we all went to Bob Evans for lunch. He was sure we were going because of him being such a great soccer star. We'll talk about good sportsmanship tomorrow... today I just love knowing that he is proud of himself. :)

Soccer

Garrett, Dylan, Sami and Macy are all playing soccer this year. Garrett and Sami are on the same team and Dylan and Macy are on the same team. The games are played at the same time on side by side fields. It's a little crazy to watch everyone play, but the kids love it and we sit in the middle and try to catch all the major plays.

Garrett is doing really well. He has been playing soccer for 4 years now. He loves to be the goalie and make sure no one scores on his team.
Sami has been playing soccer for 2 years and seems to like it a lot too. She is becoming a great team player.
Dylan was a reluctant soccer player last year, but this year he is really getting into it. Daddy does warm ups with him and then he is ready to go and he is loving it.
Macy.......now Macy loves to run and will run and run and run, however, she's not so sure about soccer yet. She is hesitant and a little stinker at times. This Saturday she decided she'd like to play tag with the kids, or even better, she'd like to run past the goal out into the field behind where the team was playing...hoping someone might chase her. Hopefully she will calm down some and maybe she'll like soccer, we'll see.
Sydney is on the sidelines this year, and is quite sad about it. She geared up for the first game, with soccer socks and shin guards. She wanted to be right there playing with them. Next year she'll get to, but that is hard for her to understand.

Grandparents Visit

Gramps and Grandma Linda came to see Sami, Garrett and Dylan's last soccer game of the season. Garrett and Sami both got to play Goalie during the game, which is Garrett's favorite. Dylan wasn't sure if he was going to play at all, but eventually he joined the game. After soccer and some time at home, we went to the park and out for ice cream.
