GO DRAGONS!

Today was Will's first soccer game! What a hoot! Out of the 13 kids there to play the game, I think there were about 3 with skill. :) One of them was on our team and his name is Will... not to be confused with William.

Yes, there are two Wills on our team and during the first practice, the coaches were trying to sort out how to distinguish the two when coaching. My Will belts out, "Well, my real name is Will-YUM!" (not spelled that way, but that's the way it sounded.) So, my Will is William and the other Will is Will. Will has a major talent for soccer; William has a talent for dancing in cleats. LOL!

Check out his moves via video:

However, when he does get in there he does pretty well!



He even exhibits great sportsmanship by striking up a conversation with the opposite team. ;)



And clapping from the sidelines.



It was a nice morning for the first game, too... nice and cool (around 73). The parents were all lined up on their chairs and cameras. Each rooting a different child on. Jeff at one point told me, "I've got to calm down! My heart is racing a mile a minute!" LOL! Here are some more action shots that cause a dad's heart to race! :)



Click on this picture to enlarge it so you can see the HUMONGOUS smile on his face! In fact, I think he's smiling in every picture I've posted. He's having a great time!

Go Dragons!!

First Soccer Practice

We decided to give Will a shot at soccer. He didn't ask to play, but he's the type of kid that doesn't ask, but will do it if you put it in front of him. If that makes any sense at all... :)

We had fun picking out all the soccer gear: cleats, socks, shin guards, and shorts - the poor kid didn't have any sports type shorts! We already had the size 3 soccer ball, though.

He's got six kids on his team: 2 girls and 4 boys. This is the first year playing for all of them but one and this is the first year for the coach, too. I think that'll be great for our first year - just having fun and learning the rules.

So here are the pictures... I know that's why you're here! :)

Just kickin' it before practice

Team lap

Poor Nathan! He wanted to play so badly, but he was stuck on the sidelines with his parents! Ugh!



At least Daddy tried to have some fun with them.

Sign reads: No Animals Allowed!
I think we broke the rules by letting those three in there! LOL!~

Thumbs up!

Way to go Will! He had a great time, but said he was tuckered out and could sleep for a million years on the way home. :)
