Journey of the Spirit 2

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.
