Let the games begin

Brennan, McKenna and Alyssa kicked off the fall sports season last Saturday with their first game. Brennan & McKenna are playing soccer and Alyssa is playing softball. Since they're at separate fields, I took M & B and David took Alyssa....hence the reason I only have pics of M & B.

Team Hot Shots - #4

I will make sure to get some of Alyssa at her next game. She's doing really great with softball and for the most part, enjoys it! She's also taking dance - tap & jazz - and is really enjoying that so we may have found her "thing" in life...for now.

Brennan's team played first and he was SO EXCITED!!! He likes practice, but he LOVES playing a "real game" - that's what he calls it! I know he's my son, but let me tell ya - he's fast.

Getting ready for the corner kick

He did a great job at his first game- didn't score any goals - but he sure did block a few. He had a really good time and at this age, that's really all that matters.

McKenna's team went 2nd and while they lost 3-1, they played a great game. They really played together well as a team and did a good job of staying in position. For her age group, that's what they work on the most and considering she's got a very "young" team, they're doing good.

Team Purple Dragons #3

The only downfall to the entire day was the incredible heat. Ugh - I'm not sure how those kids played :-) More games tomorrow - Alyssa has a bye - so I'll share some updates later on how they did.

I love your little "Soccer Stars"! Glad they are both enjoying it and that Alyssa finally found something that she loves too. Can't wait to see some pics of her playing softball!! Good luck to M&B at their games today!!

I love the pictures. You just amaze me with all the running around that you do for sports on top of everything else. I don't know how you do it. But I know the kids love it. I'm sure it is a lot of fun to watch them play.
