Spring Soccer 2014

And.... call me crazy.

We signed Fulton up for soccer at 2.

He was not old enough to play (supposed to be 3), but bless the sweet lady over the soccer league that knows Alan and watched Fulton kick the ball around at every one of Ridge's games and practices last fall.

She probably felt sorry for me since I was enormous in the fall and then had a newborn and knew this kiddo wanted to play.

Initially, actually, on our way to sign up Ridge, we were not going to.

But, she talked us into it.

And, I thought we had lost it when I was writing the check for both.

But... I admit, it was GREAT!

This kid would've been miserable on the sideline not getting to play.

And, so would this momma.

Fulton did so good! And, he truly, truly, LOVED being out there.

He was so excited for every player on his team and had the biggest grin every time Jeremy yelled his name to go in and play. It was pure joy to watch him and I, yes I, loved every minute of it.

I'm thankful she talked us into (allowing) him to play.

Diaper and all.

Yes, we were those parents. 

Fulton scored at least one goal every game except one and he cried after the game and told me "I not kick it in the goal mommy." Bless him. He tries so hard.

Ridge also had a great season in the U6 league.

He has gotten quicker and is VERY COMPETITIVE.

I love how he tries very hard and goes after the ball!

Great job Ridge!

T-Rex's Spring 2013 Soccer

Here's my short Spring soccer season recap:

I wasn't able to take many pictures except with my phone, well, because I was chasing after little man and keeping up with the time. So, these are basically it.

So, here we go:

Ridge's 2nd season of soccer. 

It was much smoother.

 It wasn't as bad as herding cats as Alan described the first season.

All of the players knew more and played better.

And, all of them except for 2 new little girls were on his team last Fall.

Ridge did really well some games. He scored 4 & 5 goals a few games, and even 8 goals in one game.

(Daddy probably remembers more accurately than me)

But, you played really well. 

We had a few instances of having a difficult time keeping our hands to ourselves. 

When playing defense, you would want to use your arms to help get in there and get aggressive. 

So, we had a few talks about that. 

But, other than that, you had a lot of fun, got plenty of exercise, and Fulton loved watching you and your friends and can't wait to play himself.

We have really enjoyed soccer because they games are an hour max.

You're running the whole time. 

There's no down time in the game except for quarter and half time breaks.

And, it's early Saturday morning and we have the rest of the day to our family!

But, Mommy actually enjoys the weeknight games more :)

We love you sweet boy and we are proud of you!

You had a lot of fun and played with old and some new friends!

And, of course, Daddy and Jeremy had fun coaching you guys!
