Matthew's first soccer game!

Mike is such a wonderful coach - all of the kids smile the whole time!

Getting the kiddos pumped pre-game

Matthew LOVES the game ball!

Wedgie, mid-game. :P

The infamous rainbow umbrella - lets our team know what field we're on, since all 12 teams have grey tshirts on!

Not sure what's happening here...but I know how it ends....

...in a hug! Awwww :)

Matthew played so hard, he even lost a shoe!

Presenting his lost shoe to his coach/Mike

Being sent over to momma for a fix

He thought losing a shoe was hilarious!

Matthew goes in for the block!

Doing an after-game cheer for the other team.

Matthew giving out high-fives to the other team after the game.

Post-game wrapup. Mike always spends a few minutes after practice/games to let the kids know individually how proud he is and how well they did. He's a wonderful, amazing coach.

Ouch! Soccer Begins...

So the ouch has nothing to do with soccer. It's mom's ouchie - and it came from being macho and trying to move big furniture on my own...major goose egg on the shin!

Andrew's first soccer game of the season!

Matthew enjoys playing on the sidelines with Junior

First Day of School

Uncle Jon got up at 6 am on a Saturday to take Andrew canoeing the weekend before school started. Such a great Uncle!

Brotherly love on the first day of school! Andrew is a 2nd grader, Matthew is in Pre-K
