SoCcEr






Caleb played spring soccer this year, and he loved it. We have really noticed a difference in his skills and abilities since last fall. I've heard it referred to as bunch ball, because all of the kids just stay around the ball and run. It is so fun to watch Caleb develop and get into the game, he was able to dribble the ball down the field and he even scored several goals through out the season. His team won a lot of games probably due to the latin influence on the team, man those little tikes can play, but of course it isn't about winning and losing right. We are now into t-ball, Caleb had his first practice on Saturday where he received a t-shirt and hat with the team name of "tusks," trying yelling that out! Luke was so funny because when it was over, he crossed his arms around his chest and said "how come I don't get some." Meaning the hat and t-shirt of course, I guess those are the hard times of being the younger brother. Matt took these pictures, which are really cute capturing the essence of the soccer games, a little wrestling, some standing around and some action.

Awesome pictures! Looks like Caleb is really into the game. How fun! Hope you have a great t-ball season.

I love watching the younger kids play soccer. It's so entertaining and there's not a lot of pressure. About the siblings, the only reason why Michael (my second) played was for the trophy and snacks. He could care less about the game! We finally got to the point that the parents were bringing snacks for the players and their younger siblings!

It looks like you had a wonderful time on your cruise. We went on kind of the same thing but it was 7 years ago. This year we were going to go to Hawaii in December for our 10 year anniversary but we didn't get our pass ports done in time - yes you need them even for HAiwaii. We love soccer!

Everytime we go to your site and Emma sees all the soccer players she starts saying over and over again "boys, boys!" Should we be worried? :-)
