Soccer Season - 2008

This year it was Natalia's 3rd year to play soccer.  She loves playing!  Always looking forward to practice on Mondays and Tuesdays and games on Saturday mornings.  At the beginning of the season she wasn't too sure that she wanted to play anymore.  I finally figured out that she wasn't too thrilled about all the running that was involved.  This year was the first time to play on a bigger field and the first year to have a referee too. She quickly got used to the changes though.  At this level, we still don't keep score, except for a few of us moms :0)  ~Go Lemondrops!  

You Go #3!!!!

This was Carson's very first season to play soccer.  For the first 5 games (out of 10!) he wouldn't do anything other than follow Dave ("the coach") around or just stand there.  It was driving me absolutely crazy.  Good thing that he finally warmed up.  He enjoyed it after that point.  This year he was number #4 ("because he is 4" - he said)  and they were the Rocketboots.  How did they get that name? - You might be asking yourself.  Well, one day while discussing what their team name was going to be, one of the boys said "Rockets" and another boy said, "no, I want our team to be called Boots."  Dave, being the nice guy that he is and not wanting to hurt anybody feelings said, "how about Rocketboots!"

Soccer season is fun but I'm also glad this season is over.  We had to be at the soccer fields by 8:10 a.m. and would leave until 11:30 every Saturday morning.  In addition we had practice during the week.  It was a lot of fun, but glad for the break.

Looking forward to next season...
