And More Sports

Been a bit quiet around here on the posting....just haven't been up to much. The beginning of the school year always keeps us so busy. This year our schedule wasn't as crazy as normal since Cameron opted to play flag football for the school instead of soccer. The football schedule is way less of a commitment and happens right after school so less hectic.

Here he is ready to make a block in his last game - (they only had 6 - this one happened to be at Forestville school, my elementary school. So strange to be cheering for him on the same field I used to "cheer" for my school's team)

He really liked football and has been toying with the idea of playing tackle in high school (ugh! worried mom - I should have made him stick to soccer lol). Even though he enjoyed it, he really missed soccer and is planning on that next year. I'm excited he will be back on the soccer field. It's such a fun sport.
Cooper had a great soccer season. The kid can score goals! Not only that but is an excellent defender as well. It's always so fun watching him play.

4th in the tournament - yay Cooper!

The season is over.
We have a 2 week break then basketball starts. Both boys are playing this year. It's a first for the both of them so it should be a blast to watch!

Sports

Not a lot going on around here, just back to our routine and keeping busy with sports & homework.

The boys are enjoying their school year so far. Cameron really likes being in middle school. The big dance is next weekend. In fact we ran out and got him some jeans today for it. We realized he doesn't have 1 pair - he lives in basketball shorts no matter the temperature.

Cooper has been busy with "play dates" - we've had friends over both days of the past 2 weekends. Whew I'm gonna need some wine!

Here is Cameron warming up for his first flag football game.

Cooper on the soccer field. He is a great player - He has scored every game (I think) and often more than once. Go Cooper!

Eddie has been on a camping trip and will be home tonight. I've been solo for a couple of days. Like I said- I'm going to need some wine! LOL

Soccer

We survived another soccer season! It's such a crazy time of year - going from the kids & I being off to being so busy with back-to-school/work, homework (Cameron's 5th grade homework is approx. 90 min a night) and soccer season. We have 4 games and 2 practices a week which is a lot! It's all so worth it though. Both boys had a great season.

Cooper's team was undefeated the entire season including the Harvest Cup which is the tournament at the end of the season. Cooper is an amazing soccer player. He scored several (he thinks at least 8) goals over the season and often had the coach asking us "what'd you feed this kid?"

Here is Cooper getting busy on the field. I think the kid behind him should for sure take ballet class if he doesn't already!

Cameron got "drafted" by a different team this year. We were kind-of taken back at first because he has had the same coaches for several years as well as the same kids on his team. We then realized it was a good thing to get a new coaching perspective and to play with new kids. He embraced it. He scored a few goals over the season and played great as a mid-fielder. His team did great - this picture below is them celebrating their 2nd place regular season standing. Cameron is standing in front of the coach.

Now this was some celebrating ...Cameron's team beat out an undefeated team to take 1st in the Harvest Cup. It was a huge upset and even the other teams were celebrating for Cameron's team. You can see how stoked they were!
