Soccer mom!

Well I signed Brayden up for Soccer the other day. So I will litterally be a soccer mom! How scarry is that?!? He is so excited though! Patrick is going to be the assistant coach for his team, and Brayden thinks that is very cool. Patrick took Brayden to buy a Soccer ball and some shin guards yesterday, and Brayden had his first lesson in how to play soccer. He is actually pretty good at it...for a 5 year old at least. Patrick played outside with the boys for a few hours teaching them how to kick the ball, how to stop it, and how to NOT use your hands. Every time one of them used their hands, Patrick would make them put their hands in their pockets. That was pretty funny to watch them run around with their hands in their pockets trying to kick the ball. Conner is going to be sad when he realizes that he's not old enough yet to play on the team with his big brother. He thinks that he is going to play too! Hopefully he'll be happy to just play in the backyard with his dad and brother! I have no idea how to even play soccer, there is way too much running around for me, so I'm glad that Patrick is able to teach the boys a thig or two about it. But both Patrick and I are so excited that our kids are getting old enough to play sports!

How fun...I want to put Emily in softball, but I think she has to wait another year. Plus, she doesn't seem to have any talent for it. lol

Way to be a Soccer Mom! Your boys are so cute! I bet it must be nice to be able to play soccer OUTSIDE (we can't wait for spring!)
