Soccer

Zach is in his first real season of soccer this spring.  He has has 2 games so far and it is so so fun!  He LOVES it and is sad when it's over.  I love it to, it's really fun to watch.  Our friend Hailey is the coach and she asked me to help out so I am the team mom.  Too funny.  Hailey was out of town the first week, so Cal got to coach.  He did a great job and the kids had a lot of fun.

Austin does surprisingly well on the sidelines.  He loves to sit in his chair and eat snacks.  If I yell to Zach, he does too.  He likes to watch and he is actually quite good at kicking the ball too.

The herd effect.

Zach scored one of the few goals of the game.  This was his celebration.

Zach was perhaps the only player to get the concept of defense.  He loves to play defense and goalie (there isn't actually a player who plays goalie at this age, so it is usually open).  He stopped 4-5 goals that first game!  Go Zach!  In the second game he would actually chase down players to get the ball and turn it back around.  I was impressed.

Capri Sun and orange slices after the game, of course.

Here are a couple of great pictures my dad got from the second game.

I see a lot of soccer in our future, and I love it.
