Preston's First Soccer Game

I can't believe my little boy is old enough to play soccer this summer! Preston played in his first soccer game on Wednesday night. His team has actually already had three games, but we missed them since we were at Disneyland. The organization we are playing in, Spyder soccer, is pretty disorganized, but they stress kids being active and having fun. And they seem to be having a great time!

Somehow I ended up being slated as the "co-coach" for his team so I was pretty busy during the practice/game too. How hard can coaching three year old soccer be, right?! :)

Here are a few snapshots from Pres's first game. This picture was actually the very end of the game. For some reason (probably no nap and over excited), Preston had a melt down at the end of the game and didn't want to shake the other teams hands. This is him sitting in time-out taking a break to calm himself down. Once he heard there were snacks, he was good to go! :)

I love this picture that Darron took!

Coach Jen giving a pep talk to Preston and his cousin Max before the game! :) Notice Preston clearing out his sinuses so he could breathe good during the game?

Preston and cousin Max before the game! There are also three other little boys from our church that are playing on the team, but they couldn't make the game that night. The boys were so excited to play together.

They are truely like brothers. I hope this is the start of many sports seasons together!

And where was Payton during the soccer game? She was attached to her Aunt TT that she hadn't seen in three weeks. She would hardly leave her side....until the end of the game. While passing out snacks, we noticed she was missing because she wasn't right in the middle of the food. We looked around, and she had vanished to the other end of the field with the other team. Uncle Scott ran down to get her and found her in the middle of the team with three juices and two snacks tucked away in her arms! That's my outgoing, carefree, eater of a little girl! :)

I'll try to post some Texas/Disneyland pictures later tonight or tomorrow so be sure to check back. But for now, it's off to more laundry and cleaning on the house. Does it ever end??
