Soccer Season

I signed Slade up to play soccer this year and he is loving every minute of it! He has his cousin Kleven on his team as well as two other friends. His coaches are his Uncle Chris and his preschool teacher's husband. His team had their first game this past Saturday and it was HILARIOUS! After a while Slade understood the point of the game but he just needs to work on going the right direction with the ball :) Here are some action shots:

He and his friend Jake had so much fun on the field together.


Slade was able to play goalie and he did great!!


Slade and Skylar used to play soccer in the backyard and before his game I was trying to explain the game to him and that he needs to run really fast, like daddy showed him... His reply was, "I think I'm faster than daddy and I can kick the ball harder too." Oh yes, he is his father's child! Its fun to see Slade out there playing soccer and I know Skylar would be so proud of him. Slade asked me if daddy was playing soccer in Heaven and if there was grass there with flowers. I said that I am sure of it! He was satisfied with that. He is such a joy!

You've got to get that action on video! Too cute. I love when they just run around kicking the ball while everyone yells at them what direction to go. I know Skylar was watching that game, snickering and shaking his head at all the goofiness. Go Slade!

How fun for Slade. I'm glad he has a fun activity that reminds him of his daddy. I'm sure Sklyar is watching Slade and is proud of him.
