Soccer, Soccer and more soccer

Soccer is over at least until April. I love that my kids play soccer. I love to see them be part of a team, to play hard, to excel and most of all to love doing it. It is not that I love going to a soccer game every night of the week - because truthfully that gets a little old, but I love that they play.

Soccer season makes life hectic but it is only about 6 weeks then it is over. This year I enjoyed it a bit more than past seasons - I think because I had it easy. I wasn't coaching (YEAH!!!) and I only had 2 players and they played on opposite nights. So even though I had 4 games a week, I only had 1 game each night.







In the past I have had multiple games a night sometimes at the same time in different parks. Which has been an absolute nightmare - especially the season I coached pregnant and with Ryan on my hip. So realistically it has definately been my easiest season yet - although it still made life crazy busy.



Taylor's games are getting later in the evening which means Rick made a couple of them. The downfall to this is that it is harder to take pictures because it is getting dark and the big lights they turn on don't work out that well for pictures.

Ryan's games were early enough that Rick was only able to come to 1 of them. Luckily it was his best game ever. I think he played extra hard for Daddy. He kicked the ball several times that game. I am usually ecstatic if his foot comes in contact with the ball even if just in an accidental passing. But he absolutely loved it. I am looking forward to watching him get better each season.


Taylor is getting really good. His games are really fun to watch - they are very competitive and perhaps it is just because I am his mom but I think he is one of the better players out there. He thinks so too and he's not to shy to admit it ( which is why our next fhe lesson should be on humility)
