Let the games begin

Our family will be living and breathing soccer every evening for the next six weeks. Tyler's first game was last night and Zach's was tonight. They both had a fabulous time playing. It was fun to watch them get in the middle of the action. Zach and Ty each scored a goal, so all is well in their little worlds!

Here's a sampling of photos from the first games. We took a lot of pictures this time but don't plan to bore you with a play-by-play of every game!


It's especially fun to have Garry coaching Tyler's team.



Tyler did a great job making contact with the ball. (This is the primary objective for four-year-old players. The second objective is kicking in the right direction...)


Goooooo Kraze!!!


Gavin isn't a fan of soccer. It was chilly and windy at Tyler's game and Gavin just wasn't happy the whole time. I finally walked him around the field and he fell asleep. Gotta love 6:00 naps.


Gavin and I skipped Zach's first game for the sake of my sanity. Tyler went along, though, and had lots of fun cheering on his big brother.



Six-to-eight-year-old teams definitely play the sport better than four- and five-year-olds.
It looks like Zach's in for a great season. Watching him play should be fun for all of us (as long as Gavin's in a good mood!).

Yay for soccer. Yay for Zach and Tyler! Yay for Garry...(he is looking GOOD!) And Yay for Mom who gets to schedule and handle the logistics and the fallout. Enjoy!

Soccer skills really pick up in that older age bracket. I notice it at my kids' games too. It's tough to be a soccer mom and even tougher when baby is not happy.

Wish we could be there. I really enjoyed going to Zach's games in Beaverton. It's a fun time of life. Go Zach and Ty! Garry is looking great! He is beginning to resemble his dad. Dad is looking really good too.
Gavin is getting so darned cute! One of these days you'll have 3 boys playing and he'll be more content.

Heidi, please don't think telling us about soccor would be boring. We would love to hear all about it.

I hope you're all having a good day.

Oh, we are so with you...and maybe Gavin can give Luke some lessons now!

Wow, every day is definitely a big commitment. Zach and Tyler are surely grateful to you, though, for getting them outside running around! Kids need to run around outside.

I wish it were chilly and windy here. Boo.

Hey Heidi... we just saw your comment (thank you by the way- you are always on top of your blogging!) AND WE ARE ALL GOOOD,but MISS you all! Isabel wishes you could still pick her up too. We are happy and thankful for your blog to keep us updated. Have fun with soccer season. We can relate to kids being difficult at games. Isabel was like that with Track, CC, Softball, and even her own soccer games! Miss you all. Enjoy your weekend

Oh Soccer! Why does it have to be in the middle of dinner time?! Oh well, other than that yea for soccer. Tyler did play really well, he was a little stud. Note to self: bring a jacket next time...
