1st Season of Soccer

The boys played soccer for the first time this Spring. Overall, it took a lot of bribes and threats to get them to participate and focus, but I think they started to enjoy it a little more as the season progressed. Of course, I was the crazy mom with the camera at almost every practice and game, but I had to just in case one of them ends up following in their daddy's footsteps!

Here is our first official soccer pic of the boys sporting their brand new shin guards taken before their very first practice...

On the way to the field for their first game, I asked the boys to stand for a quick picture. This is what I got...

Here they were warming up before the game. We were all very happy with the Carolina blue uniforms, of course.

Ben and his serious high kicks!

Bryce getting hit on the bum bum...

After break, the boys didn't want to play anymore so mommy had to carry/walk them back on the field and then convince them to stay...

Their favorite part of soccer was the snack after each game, of course!

Luckily, it was sunnier and warmer at their next game.

More of Ben's high kicks!

I think Bryce was ready to kick some tail!

But, first, some warm ups and stretches before the game...

And practice kicks...

Can you guess who this is?

Wow, that looks pretty impressive...

The boys were ready to play...

Oops, Ben missed the ball with his high kick...

He got it this time...

Little Lauren was one of the super stars on the team...

Ben liked to look around while he ran...

Bryce and dad watching Ben play...

Mikey showed Ben some love during the game...

Go Bryce!

My handsome little soccer player...

I asked the boys to pose for me before a game...

They goofed around a lot at this game...

Ben dancing around on the field...

Some serious faces from my boy...

These two needed to be separated!

Giving Coach Mitch a high five...

Ben decided he needed a rest during the game!

Little ham...

A wink?

Group pictures after their last game...

We're now ready for the Fall season to begin!
