Soccer..More Soccer and A little bit of Pig Picking!

I love fall..not only because it is the beginning of a new school year but it also signals the start of fall sports!  We were thrilled to find out that there was actually a league for Cooper - he even had his choice of tee-ball or soccer!  Connor chose tee-ball and Cooper was all about soccer!  Why wouldn't he though..he has been patiently standing on the side lines for two seasons cheering on his brother waiting for his turn!
Friday night we started the soccer season off right by going to watch my sister-in-law's boyfriend play! He plays for the defending NCAA champions, Messiah College!  With homemade shirts on we were ready to cheer our favorite player on!
And he did not let us down... he scored the goal to put the game into overtime (which they won)!
Our boyz are crazy about him!  I would say our family definitely gives him ......
The next day was Coop's turn..after getting some pointers after watching Geoff, he was ready to go!
Nate was drafted to coach on Cooper's field so he gave Coop some expert advice on what to do!
It worked because Coop was off with one thing on his mind...he wanted to SCORE!!
And he did, not just once but twice!!!  The only thing he needs to work on????  Not crying after someone else scores...on his team!!
I wonder where he gets that competitive edge to him...must be from his Dad!!!!
Later that day we went to a community Pig Picking!  It was great food,
great entertainment,
and even better memories...because we were together!
