Spring Soccer

Do you want to know a way to go completely crazy as parents? Sign three kids up for soccer!! Soccer is insane because they smoosh in one practice and two games a week for a month and a half. Times that by three and we basically eat, drink, and breathe soccer! This was the first and last time for us to be this crazy but at least the kids enjoyed it while it lasted.

Nick totally lucked out by having a bunch of friends on his team. He is not our competitive kid. He'd much rather run the field then get in and kick, but he had a blast hanging out with so many of his friends! He's decided that he's going to take a break from soccer and try some other things, which I think is great because I'd love for him find the thing that he loves!

Now Kade is crazy into competition and gets right in there. His one good buddy on the team moved away and so he didn't get to play with him for Spring soccer which was a bummer. He concentrated on getting goals and made at least one at each game and most of the time he made many more! This kid LOVES soccer!!

Skylar really loved soccer too. I think having two of her really good friends on the team intensified that. For never playing before, Skylar did so awesome, especially since a lot of the girls on the team had played for years. She had a lot of fun! She decided her true love is dance though and so this will probably be her one and only year to play soccer. I'm glad she had the chance! 
Ben helped out as assistant coach with all of the kids' teams, which meant that he was running back and forth from practices and games and in between fields like a crazy man. What a good dad! I wasn't sure we'd survive Spring soccer but somehow we did it! Go us!!!
