First Soccer Game!

On Saturday the boys all had their first soccer game.  They woke up super excited and were dressed in their uniforms and shin guards about four hours early.
 
Tyce's game was first... 
 
 
 That's his coach, Coach Caleb...
His game was hilarious, they lost by about 30 goals and Tyce even scored one for the wrong team!  Hahaha, he was so excited after he kicked it in that he turned to the sidelines and gave us a thumbs up!  We did not have the heart to tell him his mistake.  When the game first started all the kids started running to one end of the field and Tyce just stood there in center field.  When we yelled GO TYCE he looked at us, put his hands in the air, and said "go where?"  Hahaha, he was oblivious to the game for the first little bit but then he caught on.  In his defense, he is the youngest on either team because you had to be 4 by August 1st and he turned 4 on July 31st so, although he's tall, he is younger than most kids out there.  The good news is he had fun and didn't give up! 
 My cute little soccer boys...
 The twins game was next...




They have a really good team (they were all together last year and undefeated).  Jackson and Josh are the only ones that have never played before.  I was really impressed with the other kids but also impressed with how fast my boys were catching on, especially Josh.  I think being on such a good team will really push them to learn and improve fast.  Josh really seems to get the game and is coordinated and fast.  Jackson had lots of fun and tried hard.  After the game they were both really happy (especially because they won) and are already counting down the days until their next game!  Here's to a good season of soccer!!!
