Soccer

Saturday was the last day for soccer this season. We had a couple make up games that morning. Then each of the boys made the all star team in their division because they are so awesome. Our day started at 9am for the first game and we finally made our way back home STARVING at 7pm.

Marcus did great in his game. The other team can't score when he is in the game. He is a defensive ninja, whenever the other team was about to score, he just appeared out of nowhere and stole the ball.

Jason had a rough season this year. His team, for a lack of a better word, well, they were horrible. Halfway through the season they were moved down a division so that they could be a bit more competitive. Even so, they never won a game. It was very hard for Jason to not give up and quit but he stuck through it and we are proud of him. He finally snagged a victory in his all star game and was elated.

I think he is glad this season is over.

Nathan had a good season. His team was very competitive and were a force to be reckoned with. The only hiccup in Nathan's season was a couple of weeks ago when he got ejected out of the game. He pushed a kid on the other team that had blatantly pushed Nathan several times throughout the game but the ref never saw the other kid push (of course). Nathan finally had enough and pushed him back. I'm not saying he was right because he wasn't, but, he wasn't in trouble with me either. He should have told someone what was going on instead of dealing with it himself, but I am glad he stood up for himself.

Here are the all stars in Nathan's division. Nathan is on the kneeling on the right side. Since his game was at night, I didn't really get any good pictures of his all star game except for this one.

This is Marcus and Coach Marvin. Marvin has been Marcus' coach for the past two seasons and he is the best. Marvin and Marcus are best of friends and they are both undefeated for the past two years! Here they are comparing muscles.

It is always bittersweet at the end of the season. I love to see the games and they have so much fun. We meet make new friends and meet more neighbors. But on the other hand, practices are no fun with three kids. We had practice times that overlapped and were at two different locations so that was always very stressful. I was a very frantic soccer mom at times. It is definitely worth it and I can't wait until next season!
