Soccer saturdays...

I have so much to catch up on over here.  Soccer started back in September, and after tomorrow we only have one game left.  Time has flown by this fall.  
The boys were thrilled to be signed back up for another soccer season.  This is Owen's first year officially playing AYSO.  Unfortunately he's not quite old enough to be on a real team so his looks more like the old parks and rec days of group practice then 3 on 3 scrimmage.  I keep promising next year it will be a real team.  He's been a good sport about it so far though. 

Owen's first day:



Scott's team this year is the Neon Ninjas.  He's had another wonderful season with a great coach and teammates. 


Owen hustling:

This was the week that we had a game for Owen, ran to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese (my personal hell) and then went straight back to the fields for Scott's game. 




Teammates:

Last year Scott never scored a goal, which he was super bummed about because he really wanted to (who doesn't lets be honest). He has really improved this year and come close several times.  Last week he finally scored not one, but two goals during the game.  He was so happy and proud but it was pretty funny because he almost didn't know what to do with himself.  He came over to me and Brian and high five a few teammates but then went back to business, he barely smiled over it although I could tell he was excited. 
This picture is of one of the times he almost scored.  Of course I have nothing from when he did actually score, but its not a moment any of us will soon forget. 

Cheers to another great soccer season and the holidays being right around the corner!
