Soccer Star, Spring 2015

Oh, sweet, kind, fast-running boy!

Big Kicker.

Eliette was in Lil Kickers for Spring 2015.
Gage was a "big kicker" (heeeheee) last Spring.

Soccer Season 1: Done.

So, I was a soccer mom for a hot minute.

Juggling this non-competitive soccer with his competitive baseball was a little tricky, but baseball was the priority at that time. He understood. With baseball, you try out, you may or may not make the team, he had 5 hours of practice each week, tournaments, and it cost $$$. If baseball conflicted with soccer, baseball won.

So, how did he enjoy his first season playing soccer? He LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! (We are talking that tee-ball type of enthusiasm that I've missed seeing in this kid!)

Here are pics from the end of the season:

Yes, everyone got a medal. It's not competitive. You know what? Everyone getting a medal didn't make his medal any less precious to him. He loves it.

Love our little athlete!

First Soccer Game

First soccer game EVAH:

The games start with a prayer.

Gage learned rather quickly that he gets pretty thirsty during soccer games!

My handsome boy...

What did we do after soccer??
Got an Icee, of course...

 Whoops!

Soccer games go fast!
Things change quickly.
This mama loved it!

Did they win?
I can't remember. I've slept a few times since then....

Fall Soccer, 2014

Well, this Fall season, Gage decided that he wanted to try soccer. Fall 2014 was my first ever "soccer mom" season.
:)

Before his first practice:

 Here are a zillion pics from practice---because, you know----it was his first time....

How was it?
It was fine.
He really enjoyed it. The games are so fast! Things change like every half a second!

For soccer he plays in a rec league that is faith-based and not super competitive. It was a very easy intro into soccer and because of that, Gage wants to keep going with soccer in addition to baseball. Soccer may prove to be his Fall sport...
