Time for Soccer

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on September 16, 2009

Our three oldest kiddos are now playing their very first season of soccer. Boy, do they enjoy it! Here are some highlights from each of their first games this last weekend ::

Julia’s First Soccer Game ::

Going for the goal!

Time for a break!

Lightning Cats hussle up!


Ethan and Zach’s First Soccer Game (in which Ethan scored a goal, with Zach making the assist!) ::

Photobucket
Go Dragons!

Photobucket
Ethan steals the kick, from out of nowhere!

Photobucket
Apparently Zach was the only one paying attention to the ball!

Photobucket
Halftime

Photobucket
“Good game!”


So, the Lightning Cats had a blast, but were worn out. And, the Dragons tied the game with the opposing team. What fun times, with perfect weather to kick off the season!

Looks like I’ve become that “soccer mom” after all …

That’s a ways off for me, but I’m actually looking forward to standing in the rain and cheering for my kids during their sports. I meant to say, it was great meeting you!!

Kaila can’t wait to play soccer. For now ballet is what she gets.

Julia is beautiful Chris. :D

See. Living life with our kids, we can have our cake and eat it too.

Thought I would always be soccer mom. Seems like I had six boys and all have channeled their competitive drives elsewhere.

The girls …. humf .. at the moment, it’s all music and clothes. Maybe they will like soccer when they like a soccer player :}

I have just launched into my first season of kindergarten-level soccer too…such fun to watch, and such a challenge to learn sideline restraint! ;-)

Hope you’re having fun Christine…the upside is that you look fabulous in your new role! ;-)

Came across your site, somehow. Stop by my place, I’m hosting a book give away of Max Lucado’s new book, “Fearless”.

I hope to stop back by again, as I am a homeschooling mom as well, to 5 kids.

Take care,
Amy
