Soccer Stars

How do you know summer is over?  Soccer season starts!  This year we now have 2 kids in IMG_7974
soccer which means double the practices, double the games...double the fun!  Ella is so excited to now have her own uniform and it's been so fun to see her interact with her coach and learn a new sport.  Jacob has moved up into the big leagues on a U8 team, which means a much bigger field, actual positions (offense, defense, goalie), a referee, and keeping score.  We've had a couple of weeks of practice now, opening ceremonies were Friday night (Aaron and I had to miss it, but Grandma took them-stay tuned for next post for why we missed it), and their first games were Saturday-9:30am and 1:30pm.  We can pretty much plan to spend the next few months of Saturdays at the soccer park!

Glimpses of the kids at Opening Ceremonies...Ella is #5 and on the Bandits - Jacob is #10 and on the Mountaineers

Oh yeah, did I mention it was about 104 degrees during Jacob's game?  Hope it cools off soon!
