Player #1: Sydney
Team: Fireballs
Jersey Color: Orange
Jersey #: 8
Does she love the sport? Umm, we're still trying to figure that one out.
Does she love getting dressed up in her uniform? Definitely YES, but prefers wearing her shin guards over her soccer socks. She just "likes them that way!"
Player #2 - Spencer
Team - Tigers
Jersey Color: Red
Jersey #: 9
Does he love the sport? If you tell him the ball is a Bakugon and it will transform into something when it rolls into that mesh looking thing we call a net, then maybe he'll get excited for a few seconds.
Does he love going to practice? He usually falls asleep in the car on the way over and gets a little cranky to gear up that soccer fire within him.
Spencer and Mya
Sometimes we wonder if either of our kids will get into the game of soccer. This last game for Spencer was a morning (rather than afternoon) game and he ran the fastest he's run yet only so he could watch his shadow on the ground.
I do have to say that it's not THAT bad. There are hints of excitement in there every now and then. Here's a good action shot of our fireball.
And we do like to get out as a family to cheer on our little players. It's fun to be on the teams with good friends and see some of the funny things these kids say and do. Like kick goals for the other teams and the drama that goes on with the different age groups.
So, one particular game (I think even his very first game) Spencer was putting some great effort into it and the last five minutes of the game he and Mya collided and this is what he ended up with.
.
I wish I would have taken a fresh shot of it because it was protruding and was reminiscent (just not quite as bad) of the time he collided with his cousin, Anna, and his head looked like this.
Kind of like a 3rd eye. These two ran full force through our house and knocked heads. OUCH! I can still hear that crack sound!!! He hit his forehead (obviously) and Anna bruised up the corner of her eye. Luckily they stayed friends.
Now let's meet some of this year's soccer supporters. (pictures courtesy of Nicole Skidmore)
Saryn loves to go to the games especially so she can collect little sticks off the ground and build camp fires with her other little buddies. It's amazing how intrigued the kids get with a bunch of sticks.
We look forward to the rest of the season (or the end) of the season.

Cute post. Did Spencer's eyes used to be green?? And that shiner is out of control!
Adorable and so fun! I wouldn't mind soccer games on the weekends if I got to sit and cheer with friends...plus the uniforms are a darling plus.
mya is one tough girl giving spence a black eye like that:) he did great today. he was really trying. i think the video game bribe worked:)
So funny. I laughed about the bakugon. Or whatever that is called. I think you have convinced me to put off team sports for awhile. It still looks fun, though! It's just nice to be outside with your family. Saryn under the umbrella is so cute.
We are up at the fields as well. Taneal loves the game and Camie is annoyed that we signed her up so she has to go. The other kids LOVE to play with the sticks and acorns. Fun times.
