Soccer Saturdays

Our Saturdays are once again filled with soccer. I think I can officially be called a "soccer mom". We have practices on Tuesday and Thursday nights and then games on Saturdays. Brody loves it and so do I!

Each season Brody gets a little bit better.  And I know I'm his mom but I think he is pretty good!  He scores at least one goal every game!

This season we decided to try a different team.  We buddied up with his friend Cooper and just waited to see who our coach would be.  When we got the first email from Coach Carlos I was a little concerned.  He speaks very little English and so I wasn't sure how practices would go.  Although there is certainly a language barrier, it has been the best season so far.  Carlos is so knowledgeable about soccer, so sweet with the boys, and has taught them more than any other coach probably could.

Meg and Case manage to keep themselves entertained while their big brothers practice and play.  I am so thankful they have each other!
4 of the five team members taking a rest!
He plays so hard and gets so tired!

He loves running over and giving Carlos a high five after he scores!
The best part is running through the tunnel at the end of the game!  They have won every game this season.  Most of them we are so far ahead that they let the other team play 4 kids and we play 3.  We got lucky this season.  With a great coach and 5 kids that can all play really well.  Brody likes it a lot more now that they are winning!
