Soccer Season

This soccer season was going to be a busy one. It was Owen's first year playing and after Paige took a year off, she couldn't wait to play again!

This year Paige was on the U9 girls. You can't request friends this year - they pick randomly and this is the first year they keep score. Paige got put on a good team. They called themselves "The Green Hot Chili Peppers." Not exactly the easiest to yell out during a game - but they did just fine on their own. In fact they made it all the way to the play offs and placed 4th. John was the assistant coach and was really into it all. I think the competitiveness was really getting to him ;)

We took a picture the day the Green Hot Chili Peppers played Eliza's team - the Pink Panthers!
We were really nervous about Owen starting. How would he do? Would he run off the field crying? Would he listen to his coach? Owen did surprisingly well. He did have a few fits, but for the most part he loved chasing after the ball and when the kids would trip over each other and fall to the ground Owen thought you were then suppose to wrestle. Oh man!
I think he liked half-time and snack at the end the best!
Here is Owen - chasing down the ball.
We weren't able to make it to team photos - but luckily we caught a picture of the team early on in the season. Look at all these crazy boys!

I have to say - this season was really fun to watch!
