Spring is here!

Spring is officially here, and we have had a few beautiful warm days. I love it! Yesterday the boys had their first soccer game of the season. This is Alex's first season to play. He has been so excited at his practices, and he seemed ready to play his first game Saturday. However, as game time drew closer, he got closer and closer to Daddy and said that he didn't want to play. Thankfully after standing on the sidelines for the first half, talking to the coach for a little bit, to granny and grandaddy, grammy and daddy, he finally decided he would play. So, Alex played the whole second half of his first game, and he did a fantastic job! He ran around the field trying his best to kick the ball, and he did a great job doing it! Also, his 'girlfriend' from school was on the other team, and that was just too cool for him. I think he went a little easy on her though and didn't try to kick the ball away from her when she had it. :)
This is Isaac's third season, and he is enjoying playing more and more. I am so proud of him and can hardly believe how big he's getting!
It has been quite the beginning to this soccer season. Isaac and Alex's cousin, Lucas, is also playing soccer this season. So, it is going to be quite an adventure catching parts to everyone's games. Especially when they play at the same time! Lucas played first yesterday, and Isaac and Alex both played after him at the same time. Thankfully, the fields all three boys played on were close together. The grandparents sat in a central location and could see both Isaac and Alex's games.
Happy First Day of Spring to everyone, and here are some pictures from our first weekend of soccer in 2011.

soccer Saturdays....it's a whole experience, isn't it?! Last fall we had 4 games per day to contend with, for Spring, just 3...just 3! You feel like we do! Glad your little guy got out there and played. Is their season 8 weeks?

Their season is 10 weeks. This past Saturday was not too enjoyable to say the least. It was about 44 degrees and very windy. Not very good soccer weather if you ask me! :)
