All-Star Soccer

Both Big J. and Little J. were chosen for the All-Star Soccer Team. The soccer league chooses a few excellent players who have good sportsmanship and work hard. Both boys were chosen from their team and they were very excited. The soccer league formed 2 teams from all the kids chosen and they competed in an all-star game. Big J. and Little J. were on opposite teams and they both played great. It was a fun game to watch (and not fun at the same time) since their game was played in the middle of a huge rainstorm. Everyone was soaking wet, the grass was totally muddy and everyone had fun. It was a fun game and the boys were proud to be on the teams.

What great looking brothers!

Soccer Season

The boys all did soccer again this season. I must say that this was a much easier season than last year. The two older boys got put on the same team (they are 2nd and 4th grade) and that made it so much easier. Yes we were at soccer practice a lot but not nearly as much as the previous year. Plus Tim with his new job was able to come to all the games and help out occassionally at taking kids to practice. This is little J.'s "game face". When he is into the game he is really into the game. He gets a very serious concentrated look on his face and he gets very focused.
Big J. was a good forward this year. He really seems to have improved a lot over the last year. Both the boys worked really well together on the team. They were good at passing to each other and working together to score. It was fun to watch their games.

Big T. was on a different team than the older boys and he really had fun playing with some of his friends. He is pretty good and he is only in Kindergarten.

My older boys acting silly. They were both chosen to be on the all-star team. I'll do another post about that wet, fun game.
