end of soccer

saturday was jack's last soccer game...

i am sad- i really enjoyed soccer

so much that i am trying to talk him out of playing t-ball this spring

and playing spring soccer...

i know

bad mom, let him choose

so i stopped begging and told him OK ;)

here he is warming up

and here he is getting ready to play (please note the tongue- it helps)

i think this is my favorite, this is my sweetest son, setting the ball up and letting

his team mate take the ball and kick it in the goal... he is too sweet

and already working the girls... his dad must be teaching him things i don't know about ;)

here he is seriously thinking about kicking the ball

and then kicking the ball

and there you have it

soccer is over.

for this year ;)

basketball here we come

and here is a pic of the only kids who played the last few games...

luckily they only play with 3 kids, right?

poor kids, i made them look into the sun for the group photo...

year 1 of paparazzi soccer mom is over

i hope to be greatly improved for round 2

so this was a sad little time for me saturday
sure i had a great time taking a ton of pics
but then it was over
luckily bama beat lsu and the mister was happy {i would prefer them both lose}
although the game was so close and exciting
i thought he may have a heart attack while watching it
lucky for him he's married to a forester who gets CPR training on a regular basis

Soccer Game #2

Was a muddy and humid mess... but oh how fun it was! And super exciting! I am hoping we will skip tball this spring and jump right back into soccer. I think I was meant to be a soccer mom. Who knew???

I think this was his 2nd or 3rd goal... setting up

getting ready to kick the ball into the goal...

and SCORE!!!!!!!!!! Way to go #5!!!

We ran into Jack's neighbor friend, who plays on a different team.

I ♥ soccer almost as much as Jack.

And I'm thinking this Saturday I may get out of my chair to get pics of the front of my kid playing soccer and maybe I should get the video camera out of the closet. We'll see. I can't wait.

His First Soccer Game

Was fun,

busy,

exciting,

and HOT.

#5 of the Patriots (or Eagles, I'm not quite sure which one his coach is going with but we won't get into all that) played his heart out and came SO close to scoring several goals. Looks like I'm going to have to do some research and start working with him in the backyard, which will be good exercise for me, right?

And as we were leaving the park, one of those orange kids passed us on the walkway...
I saw him smiling once he saw JR...
Not a sweet little boy smile...
And as we passed him, he did a thumbs down and BOOED my son.
Luckily, my son saw a friend from school, a cute little girl, and was totally interested in her.
I, on the other hand, saw it all and it took all I had not to correct that child and teach him sportsman-like behavior (this is the edited version of what I wanted to do).
Mister tells me I need to get used to it because that's just how little boys are.
Wow, really? I am not impressed and not sure how I am going to make it through years of sports with JR without saying something I shouldn't to some other persons child!
I'll let you know how next week goes.
