Lazy Saturday

We had a whole lot of nothing to do today, so this is what we came up with.

It's all fun and games until the competition gets the best of everyone. ;)

Fall Soccer

First soccer game of the fall soccer season. Where did this long-legged fast runner come from? Jack is playing with his good buddies Parker and Hudson this season. He's giddy about it.

This was Ben's first time to play "organized" soccer. They played all the time at the orphanage, so he's pretty intense. He's happy to be on Mr. Greg's team with Turner and Elin. :)

(He was also in the middle of practicing with the children's musical...if you noticed the blue jeans and cowboy boots)

Happy 4th of July

You'll have to tilt your head to watch this. Maybe we've got a baseball player...

Soccer Game #2

Jack had another soccer game today. He played against his friends - Parker and Campbell. He did much better this game. I'm a little surprised his competitive nature doesn't come out a little more. He has as much fun hopping, skipping, waving at the sidelines, and chatting with his friends as he does playing the game. You can hear Elin saying "Go Jack" in the first video. So sweet.

A Point for Me and a Point for Me

We signed up Jack for One Goal through a neighbor church. Last week, we went and bought him shin guards, cleats, and soccer socks. Needless to say, we've been practicing. Tonight was absolutely beautiful, so we played soccer outside tonight after dinner. We're kicking the ball back and forth and he said, "Five points for me; zero for you." What? I didn't know we were keeping score. Okay. So I kicked the ball right past him. He misses it and starts running for it. While running, he does a little twist and then kicks the ball. Assuming he was going to say, one point for me (Angie), I decided I'd go ahead and claim it. Before I even opened my mouth, he says, "Two points for me!" And so the conversation begins...

Angie: How in the world did you get two points? You missed it.
Jack: Oh that doesn't matter! Did you see that really cool thing I did? That got me two points.
Angie: Do you know how to earn points in soccer?
Jack: By doing really cool things.
Angie: No, you have to kick the ball past me, the goalie. If I miss it, you get a point.
Jack: Hmmm. Well, you're out of your goldie box. Now I get a point.
