our soccer season in a nut shell

We have had a crazy summer filled with games almost every night, but I have not been good about taking pictures of the kids while playing. (hard to take pictures while coaching!) My brother was at Isabel's last game and got some really good shots of her so I thought I'd share. Isabel has had a great season. She loves soccer (almost as much as gymnastics)and it shows in the way she plays. She really is so much fun to watch! She is usually the smallest player on the field, but is not at all shy about going for the ball, no matter how big the other kid is who has it. It can actually be a little comical at times. She has her last game tomorrow and they have not lost a game. WoooHooo!! (I'd like to think it has something to do with the coaching!) It has been a really fun season.

Bennett had his last game tonight. He is not as into team sports as Isabel is, but the truth is he is really good. I keep signing him up thinking he will start to like it, but so far it hasn't worked. If he ever decided he liked it, he would be the best kid out there. He was pretty happy that this was his last game. Oh well, I guess he is going to be our golfer. He does make a good looking soccer player though!

Evan has his last game on Thursday. I still don't have any pictures of him playing yet (coaching) but I will get at least one at the next game. He likes to play, but gets easily distracted. One minute he is kicking the ball and the next he is running up to me for a hug, or wrestling with one of his team mates. The last game I had to stop him from giving another kid a piggy back ride as the ball went right past him! It is so funny to watch him play!

Well that's our soccer season in a nut shell. I am really happy to say it is almost over, and our lives can get back to normal!! YEAH!! That is until basketball starts.....
