the start of soccer season

the big boys ready for their first soccer game

the boys thought that it was cool that i caught them both midair.

mason is the senior soccer star in the house and is still just happy to be on the field playing. he seems to have a natural defensive sweep to his play (not that i know anything about soccer, but that is how i would describe his field movement).

first team huddle!

way more excited to play than to have his picture taken

the only reason that we were able to be there is because madelyn's softball clinic was cancelled as the boys were on the way to soccer (softball was at the same time). madelyn was a little bummed to miss softball, but i was super excited to get to be there for maddux' "first." she was in her softball gear at the game and learned a lesson in flipping your bill up...

manning was very into the soccer game

the kids were hysterical trying to 'shake hands' at the end of the game.  instead of lining up to slap hands, they were huddled and literally shaking hands with each other.

i had to take pictures with our soccer stars! maddux scored a goal in his first game! and mason scored two! it was pretty exciting to see our dynamos in action. love.
