soccer.

P's first game was September 3rd. Salem really does a great job with their soccer program. The fields were packed with players and fans. The game kicked off with the National Anthem and a big deal introduction of each team. The players run out onto the field and a huge production is made by the mc and the fans in the stadium. It is really too cute. P's team didn't play so hot. They got creamed. I don't even know if we scored a goal. P and Jackson chatted on the field the entire game. I'm not even sure if either of them kicked the ball the entire game. They probably didn't even know where the ball was. It was still really cute. I just wish I weren't so competitive. I think I'm the loudest mama on the sidelines hollering at their child to "kick the ball"!

Jackson, Reese, and Phoenix. Love these kiddos and love their mamas.

Emma Kate and Granny.


She really wishes she could play. Too many times this season she has wandered onto the field and ended up right in the middle of the action. Where was her mama, I wonder?


Took these pics at their practice after pictures. They all looked too cute in their uniforms.

P, MJ, and Jackson. Don't they look so happy? I love this pic.



My sweet boy.

Soccer has been a ton of fun. P's not really into it at the games or practice but he talks about soccer all week and looks forward to it every Thursday and Saturday. I don't think he's meant to be a lifelong soccer player. He's not competitive enough. Maybe he'll grow into it or maybe he'll pick another sport to play next year. Either way, I'm not going to push him and as long as he's having fun, I'm a happy mama.
