Soccer!

I feel like at this point in my life I spend a lot of time trying to work my way through things I'm not very good at.  It can be pretty demoralizing sometimes.  But there is at least one thing in life I know how to do well.  I know how to play soccer.  It has been refreshing being able to take Matthew to his soccer games and pass the ball around with him and shag balls during the practices.  Thanks Mom for making it possible by watching the younger three!  It feels good to spend time doing something I like AND can do well...even if its only a short time. 
Here is Matthew's soccer team getting their team pictures taken last weekend.  The picture lady was a little taken aback when we told her the team name was "Tiger Legos."  I guess she hadn't heard that one before.  :)  Matthew is standing in the back next to the coach.  Our coach this year is great.  He is funny and great with the kids.  When the team couldn't decide on a team name 'cause half the team wanted the name Tigers and the other half wanted Legos, he's the one who came up with the compromise, "Tiger-Legos" and suggested our mascot be a orange Lego with black tiger stripes.  He reminds me a little of my brother in law, Dana.  Hi Dana!

Sorry some of these pics aren't great.  My camera broke so I'm borrowing from my mom and don't know how to use it too well.  Still learning.

 Here are the kids playing.  Matthew is in a blue jersey with his arms kind of up.

 Points if you can spot Matthew here.

He had a lot of fun playing.

 Half time

 They play six minute quarters, so the game gets done pretty quickly.

It's long enough for them though.

 Matthew was very excited because he got to play goalie for a quarter.

He did a great job and stopped a lot of balls.

 And got to do a lot of goal kicks.

 I tried to encourage him not to get tangled up in the net

Here he is doing another goal kick
Good job Matthew and Hooray for soccer!!
