GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

Ok, well, not really.  But, we do have an official AYSO soccer player in the house!  (And an AYSO Official Assistant Coach and Official Team Photographer!)  Hayden is playing his first season of soccer and it's been fun.  He's definitely got a bit of a learning curve since most of the kids in his U7 (Under 7 years old) league have played for 1-2 years.  But, he's having fun and it's great to see so many people we know out on the soccer fields every Saturday.

Here's a glimpse at some of their practices and first two games.  Hayden's team is the "Golden Ninjas"  Would you expect anything else from a group of 6-year-old boys?!

Game 1!

Little brother keeps busy on the games on his scooter!

Game 2!

Ben found a buddy!  A teammate of Hayden also has a 4-year-old little brother!

We've got games for almost 2 more months, so there will be many, many more pictures to come throughout the season!

Ben's First Day of Pre-K

Big brother wasn't the only one to start school recently, Benjamin had his first day of preschool this week!  He's at the same school as last year and he LOVES it!  He also has the same teacher his brother had during his 4-year-old preschool year.

We set up for a few front-porch pictures before we walked down to school.  I was delighted that he picked the shirt Grandma sent him :-)
