I have officially have become a "soccer mom"! I think I was more excited than Connor when we went to our first soccer practice and then to our first game! Connor's excitement was more about his new soccer uniform and shoes - none the less - my little boy was in his first soccer league!
The first game didn't turn out quite like we had anticipated. About 30 seconds after the whistle blew, Connor walked off the field and told me he didn't want to play. We tried to get him to go back on the field later in the game but he wasn't having any of it! I figured that there had to be hope because he told one of his buddies that he scored five goals and while in the car eating his snack he said to us,"Well that was fun!!" I didn't know where the fun was but hey it was a step in the right direction!!
THE JETS
The following Monday was the first day of school for both
boyz! Cooper is going to preschool at our church! We have started Mother's Day Out and Coop attends the 2's and 3's preschool room! I think he was most excited about eating lunch there with his other buddies!
Connor is at the same preschool that he attended last year and if you can believe this one - it is his last year!! He will be entering Kindergarten - what happened to my little boy????
Well it was back to the soccer field that next Saturday! We were feeling a little more
optimistic because he had fun at the previous two practices.....So here is the clip of the beginning of the game (Yes, I am the one screaming in the background, Yes, I know it is U-6 soccer) His number is 1! (How appropriate :) )
Connor played his best buddies team that day and both him and Levi had a great cheering section!
Connor, Levi, and Cooper relaxing with their snacks after a great game of soccer!
Already this year we have entered a new stage of life with our
boyz... they are growing up so fast! They are both in school, both in Sunday School, Connor attends Children and Worship, Kids Club, and choir at our church. He also is going to be taking a Spanish class while Coop attends a Terrific 2's and 3's class at Moving and Grooving! What fun!
They both bring so much joy and love to our lives...how blessed we are to be their parents!

I can't believe how big they are getting! Wish we could have been there for his games! Would have loved to see him "playing" soccer :o)
You are an excellent cheerleader. I love that you caught him making a goal. They both are TOOOOO cute. Handsome boys, we need to work on the arranged marriage....
Exuberant? Enthusiastic? No, I think the word I'm looking for is "over-excited"! You crack me up, but still I'm glad you caught Conner's goal on video =) I miss those boys and miss you!
Loved it! Yes, keep your voice for the high school soccer games where maybe he can get a scholarship somewhere for most enthusiastic mom?
