Soccer

Our lives have become engulfed in soccer.  With both kids playing this year, we now practice two days a week and have two games on Saturday.  We hit the jackpot for the first games this past Saturday because both kids played at the same location right after each other.  I know this is probably the only time I will be able to enjoy that luxury and I will probably be missing most of Brinley's games due to taking Clayton to his (since Jason coaches her team), so it was nice to get pictures of both kids playing this past Saturday!

 

Clayton is playing with the 4/5 year old team since after he went to camp this summer, it was determined he was too good and too aggressive to play with the 3 years olds.  It was a good call because he is still pretty dominant over the 4/5 year old as well....his Daddy is so proud! In his game, he scored the only 4 goals for his team.  He loves soccer and would play/practice everyday if we let him!

 Of course, he spends most of his time talking/narrating what is going on!

Brinley is in her 3rd year playing soccer.  They have moved up to playing 4-on-4 on a much bigger field.  It amazes me the level of play the girls are doing compared to last year! They are playing positions, passing the ball and strategizing! She scored a goal in her scrimmage last week, but did not get one for her first game.  With the bigger fields, defenders, etc, the scores are a lot lower than last year.
