It's Soccer Season!!!

Soccer games started two weeks ago! On our first Saturday with ALL THREE KIDS PLAYING we had 4 games!!! (Yeah...we have no life until this season is over!) We pretty much spend all day Saturday at the field...but it is all worth it! The kids love it, and we love watching them play!

The real highlight this year is that Rylie is finally on the field! She was so excited to "finally be old enough"! Of course, she HAD to have pink cleats and a pink soccer ball...and she was in heaven when she found out that her team was purple! (The purple dragons to be exact!) An added bonus being that Sam, Lauren, Riley, and Luke are on her team as well! She even likes the idea that she and Mason are the same color...she told him that they could share socks...isn't she sweet! The first week she was a little intimidated, but this past week she got out there and was a little more aggressive! Mason is in the under 10 division again this year. He is on the Strikers. He's on the field this year, instead of playing goalie, and he's enjoying it! He was the stopper last week...playing midfield. This past weekend he was a defender all game and did a great job!
Parker plays for the under 8 "Flamin' Cheetos" (and yes...their team is orange!). He's been playing all over the place...but has really found his place as a goalie! He does a great job and isn't afraid of the ball...or the players coming right for him! He had a great game this past Saturday and even scored his first goal of the season!

So fun. We watch soccer every Saturday too because Meagan's oldest three are playing. It is so fun!
