Spring Soccer

It's soccer season again. We roll from one sports season straight into the next around here. As soon as soccer is over, Tripp will start baseball (which is my FAVORITE). We were able to pull some strings and get Tripp and Makinley on the same soccer team this ONE time. We'll never have this happen again, so we are enjoying only having one game to worry about each week. Last year, I missed half of each of their games trying to run back and forth between the two, all the while wearing an infant on my back. The kids are doing a great job and they are undefeated so far.

I'm sorry. When did she get this BIG???? Holy Cow. And, I must say. She is a beautiful child. Not that I'm biased or anything.

 And, oh this one. He makes my heart skip a beat.

 Makinley actually had a fever earlier in the week, so we wouldn't let her run during last night's game. She was not a happy camper at all. She wanted to be part of the action, but we made her hang out as goalie most of the game. Not nearly as fun.

 Tripp plays great each game. He is all over the field and gets some great shots.

 Joey is coaching them. I love that he coaches our kids and that he has a job that allows him to do these things.

 See how bored she was. She was dancing, climbing the net, and doing all kinds of things besides paying attention to the game. But, when the ball came her way, she quickly got ready.

 Look at that face. Poor girl. We eventually pulled her from goalie and allowed her to play defense. She still wasn't running, but she was able to kick the ball when it came to her end of the field.

 And of course this one was trying to be a part of the action. She kept twirling in circles onto the field and I'd have to go retrieve her.

The season is already almost over. I love watching my kids play sports. I've got to get Makinley into tumbling though. She wants to practice handstands, backbends and walk overs each night. So, I've got to look into our local tumbling classes and get those started for her.
