2 minutes

I just went to the bathroom. What 2 minutes?: )

Game 2

This morning, before 8am even, I was tackled and mowed over by about 9 little boys. I LOVED it. This is the stuff, man.Was so thankful for Coach Scott's pre-game drill.

It's fun watching these boys grow.Copeland, our youngest dude, played in his first game. As goalie, he didn't see much action, but a great way to get in the game. He was so proud to have a job to do. And what a great reminder that confidence is built in these young ones when they have a purpose. After the game, the Rockets cheer. Speaking of cheer, my mimicker was yelling, "Go Rockets!" during the game after hearing others cheer. That Zach is cute stuff.

Bake Sale

Thanks to Reece's wonderful teacher (who also provided this picture), the class held a bake sale today to raise money to help end childhood hunger in America. We walked up and they said loudly, "Bake sale for charity, fifty cents!"

I haven't heard how much they raised, but was thankful Reece was a part of making, wrapping, and selling the cookies. The kids were adorable.

Game 1

Well, I give up. I've got to start blogging the current b/c there is just not enough time to get caught up. I pray I am able to get back to it soon.

First soccer game under our belts.
While the practices looked a little shaky, the kids remembered what to do once they got out there. I think they'll get a bit less timid as the season progresses.

After the last practice, Reece prayed that night that he would play better in his game. He really did.

While soccer may be a small thing to pray for, God cares about it all and loves to hear us talk to him. So thankful for that sweet prayer!

He played nearly all game, and sure did get tired! I can see him try to get around the ball and play defense at times rather than going straight for the ball. Good stuff, Reece!

Grayson got in there too. He even got hit with the ball and kept it together and stayed in the game. So tough!

Coach Scott wasn't here, so Peter was in charge and Darren helped out. So much harder to take pictures with a VERY mobile Zach.
Thanks to help, I got a few...We are cheering; he's embarrassed but proud.
Precious boy!He thought he was really hanging from that pole. So cute!
