Futbol...American style!

Out of protest from Allison and non-stop begging from Isaac, we signed the kids up for Spring Soccer. 
 Allison discovered she actually really really likes soccer!
 and got REeeeeally into it.
okay, not as die-hard as the boys, but she was warming up to that idea by the end.
 She's a surprisingly AWESOME goalie!
 Daddy coached her team half of the season...while Mommy did the other half.
Gathering for "the cheer"
 Good game, guys..
So proud of this trophy!
Team snapshot...glad we got this since half the team left before the "pro" pictures were taken.
See that glowing happy face...yup. LOVE.

 Isaac L.O.V.E.D. every single minute

Daily he would ask if it's soccer today
 He always had the BIGGEST grin on his face.
but especially when Daddy was taking his turn coaching.
Yes. We coached both teams. NO way would we do that EVER again. 

 Isaac is doing a pre-game head patting to his teammates.
Pre-game warmup.


Out of the two teams, Isaac's was definitely WAY more fun to coach AND watch. The kids and parents were so much more laid back and just there for fun.


 Aside from soccer consuming our lives for a good FIVE weeks, we'll definitely do it again. The kids had a blast...

Soccer is such a fun sport - is it because nobody has to stand in one spot except for the goalie (that's just murder on little kids), nobody has to shine to have fun, nobody has to stop running and when our guys were little, it meant eating as many orange wedges as they could cram in their little mouths during halftime. Do that at home and it was no big deal, but break out the oranges at the games, and you'd think they'd died and gone to heaven!

Looks like you've had a fun spring!
