Soccer Saturday

The boys finished up their season today and even though it was a crazy, windy day, we all had so much fun!
D kicking it in from the sideline.
Dylan made a handful of goals this season, even though he had a few older boys on this team that dominated. He was really good at staying aside of the pack, and breaking away with the ball.  Several times he would dribble the length of the field to score, or almost (that David!) score goals.  The other half of the time he may have been dancing with his shadow. We're not sure. Either way, it was CUTE though! He also had a crush on a little girl named Olivia. I think we all did...she's one gorgeous 4 year old! The Blizzards went undefeated this season and D was well aware the fact.  He really has a thing about numbers and knows every kids' number on his team, what number K was when he was on past teams, and how many goals/wins/ etc. for every game.Today he kicked some good kicks from the sideline and zoomed to the end of the field and kicked it from his teammate who was trying to kick it in the wrong goal. He wanted to have the black lines on like a pro for his last game. D loving the Victory Tunnel...oh yeah!

Kaleb played in the big kid league this season where they enforce more rules, teach positions, and it was boys only. He had a new (meaning first timer), but enthusiastic coach, and this soccer mom may have talked her handsome hubby into assisting. After the first game disaster, I couldn't bear to watch another game, if he didn't! That said, it is amazing how far his team came from the beginning of the season. The Wizards were about half and half, I believe. Kaleb made a few goals throughout the season, had a lot of great defensive moments, and even got to play goalie for about a quarter every game.  Today he made the only goal of the game.  Coach Jay told him it was the play of the season. :)  K retells it by saying he used his "undominate arm" to block the guy and kick it in. He also did his uncs proud by BOOTING it 3/4 of the way down the field after blocking a goal. That kid has a leg on him!

Even though it will be nice to have our Saturdays back for a while, we're all going to miss our Soccer Saturdays!
