Thatcher is following in his daddy's footsteps and has started playing soccer this year! I'm no going to lie, our first game included not only excitment and husseling, but many, many tears as well! I think we got ourselves a bit overwhelmed, not to mention that it was absolutely freezing that day. ( I would have been pretty miserable too!) All in all is was really fun/funny to watch, 8 little boys, four and under running around the field with no previous soccer experience, sports knowledge or even a goalie! Thatch has done really well too! He has made 5 goals between his last two games (Although 2 of them didn't count! We're not going to tell him though. It's tough to listen to the whitle and just "stop" playing when you are being chased by other little men!)

Trying to stay warm, while waiting to go in again.

Getting his instructions from his coach!

Making a break away for the goal!!!

Closing in for the big kick.....

AND Oooops!
Steven, his little teammate, forgot they were on the same team,
AND that there were not any goals and bent over and grabbed his ball!
It was a total bummer, but extremely hilarious!
Can you see his dad's face! (He's the coach!)

Making sure to relax his muscles the following day,
by getting some good r&r!

B too, although he slept through the entire game all bundled up in his stroller!
PS
I would like to share with you how we got our team name. We were going to be The Cheetas, but apprently another team had already claimed that name, SO instead of choosing another name from the millions that are out there, they just threw a BIG in front of it and we are now The "Big" Cheetas! Our crazy creative are we!
