| My little soccer champ |
 |
| So determined. |
 |
| Here comes Hankapalooza! |
 |
| What a kick! He even lost his shoe! |
 |
| Coach Mike leads a team cheer to start the game. |
 |
| Go Panthers! |
 |
| Evan, Reid, and Olin prepare to start. |
 |
| The Panthers have the ball. |
 |
| Coach Mike instructs son Olin on the strategy. |
 |
| We played Evan's sweet little pal Daniel's team. Daniel was in Evan's preschool class last year and just adores Evan. We really wish we would have put them on the same team. Daniel may be small, but he was quite a champ out there and scored several goals. |
 |
| Evan and Olin head back onto the field after a break. |
 |
| He looks ready. |
 |
| One of Hankapalooza's awesome goals. |
 |
| Evan throws the ball in. |
 |
| I love seeing him in action. |
 |
| That's my boy! |
 |
| Like a champ. |
 |
| Goal! |
 |
| There he goes again. |
 |
| Getting their pep talk from Coach. |
 |
| Evan's cheering squad. |
 |
| Our favorite soccer player |
 |
| Evan and his buddy Hank make a great team. |
 |
| Good game, blue and orange! |
 |
| After the game, Evan and Daddy taught Hankster how to play wii. |
It's crazy that I can actually feel the excitement in the air when I see those pictures. You're really making me want to sign Spencer up for soccer!
ReplyDeleteI totally recommend it, Natalie. It helps those wild boys get some of that energy out. Soccer is hard work, and Evan is sweating and exhausted after a game. Of course, he still doesn't want to take a nap, but he's pretty subdued. :-)
DeleteP.S. - I am so indecisive and just can't find a new background that is working. I wanted something for fall, but I don't really think the traditional fall colors work with my scheme and the beach header which I don't want to change. My favorite colors are yellow and blue so I though this one might work...even works in a little trendy chevron detail. Ha!
He looks like such a natural!
ReplyDeleteHe really is looking more like a pro this year...such a big change from last year! I think there is some switch that turns on in little boys' heads between 4 and 5! :-)
DeleteWhat fun!! It looks like he loves it!! My youngest was not so into it... his first year he was playing goalie and he was dancin' around doing the dance from the Evolution of Dance. Quite entertaining!! (He had learned it from my hubby & our oldest did part of that dance at her wedding during the father daughter dance, lol!! )
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this time!! They grow all to quickly and then it gets serious!!
Ah, Piper, your stories of your days raising your kids always make me smile...and laugh! They also make me excited for the days ahead (although I am also still a little sad to see them grow up so fast). If I could put in a request, could you do more blog entries about these funny memories of yours? I know that's a bit selfish of me, but they really just make me smile and I figure they'll make others too. :-)
DeleteI am (slightly) envious of your t-shirt and capris. We are totally into sweater, jeans and tights weather here.
ReplyDeleteAlso I love that you call Evan's friend "Hankapoloosa." I have to find one of Sam's friends I can add "apoloosa" to!
And we have the same road rug!
