Soccer Mom

It's official I am now a soccer mom. Sadly I still drive a mini van instead of one of the big Soccer Mom SUV's (no really I love my van!) Initially, only Lexi was playing soccer because they told me Zack was too young. But when I realized that half the kids on Lexi's team were younger than Zack I started makin' some noise! Turns out one of the kids (a kid who was barely 3!) wanted to quit so his mom and I worked out a deal with the Rec. Center to let Zack play in his place. So here are a few pictures of the most recent game.



Lexi gets pretty serious about the game!



Since Lexi has played a few more games than Zack she was really sweet to help him know what to do. I love that they are holding hands in this picture.



Here's Zack throwing the ball in bounds. I'm kind of hoping he doesn't knock someone out with that big ol' cast!



Tyson actually got to be the substitute coach for part of the game while the real coach dealt with a little potty accident with her son. (I'll bet he's also younger than Zack!) Ty did a really good job. At least he didn't get chucked out of the game!




What did Drake and Garrett do during the game. Drake had the bag of Marshmallows (healthy snack, I know!). He wouldn't let Garrett touch the bag or the marshmallows themselves but he would put one into his mouth occasionally. He ended up splitting them pretty evenly. Those of you who really know my boys are thinking "what! Drake was being the dominant one?" This time he was asserting himself so I just let it go.
