Soccer season in full swing...

Here is a sneak-peak at our weekly soccer games.  Briggs plays on Tuesday's and on Saturday's. He also practices on Thursday nights.  He is the smallest on his team which is 4-7 year olds.  I know, crazy!!  He is very fast and often scores during the game; he has improved so much over the past year.  Cory tells him to find the best player and keep up with him and he will improve. Seems to be working.  

Ethan is on the little sprouts team and Cory is his coach. It was team pictures this past Saturday so I was able to get some fun ones of them.  Little sprouts is exciting.  You always wonder who of the 2 and 3 year olds are actually going to remain on the field during the scrimmage.  The week before last only 1 of the 5 little kids played on the field the entire game. This week we introduced bribery and it worked like a charm.  All five boys played for the most part.  You will see in the pictures that at times there was some prodding from Coach Dad to son Ethan and several of the other players, but it was, and is, always fun and entertaining to watch.  

Here's to all those soccer mom's out there!  I'm now one of you!!

All the kids wondering what to do with the ball....

come on Ethan quit playing in the dirt and go get the ball (I'm sure that is what he is telling him in this picture :)  I love it!)

Briggs looks so old to me in this picture.  Boy he is growing up so quickly.  Can't he just stay my little boy a little longer?

Smallest boy on the team.
