Are you ready for some…..Soccer (Thought I was going to Say Football, huh?)

Posted on by

Despite still being 10000 degrees outside here in Florida the calendar tells me Fall is around the corner. It is at that time I start signing “This is the most wonderful time of the year.” Anyone who knows me has heard me say a time or two or a thousand that September, October, November are my favorite times of the year; with Thanksgiving being my favorite holiday (I am my Daddy’s girl that way).

IMG_6560_filteredAlso this means we leave the wonderful sport of basketball behind for a couple of months and enter the world of soccer and cross country. My youngest one said he wanted to play soccer again and my two older boys will be running cross country meets almost every Saturday early in the mornings. This has been a new experience for my middle child, he is very athletic and sports minded but his enjoyment with running has surprised me. My oldest will most likely make the varsity team in cross country, he has been working hard on his speed.

This Momma is doing great with her running, but unlike her boys who run 5 miles a day I can only manage 3 miles every other day, and that is with my yelling “I can do all things through Christ” all throughout the last half mile. Oh if I could bottle up some of their endurance and energy.

My youngest son lost his final championship basketball game last night and my two older boys have their championship game on Saturday.  ItIMG_6604_filtered was bitter sweet for my youngest, he scored a lot of points and it was a great game.  But it is hard to win against a player who shots 7 3-pointers in one game.  This player was on their game and unfortunately on the other team.  Ah well.

My husband does a wonderful job coaching, I enjoy watching him with the kids and how they come to respect him and his coaching.  He will be coaching my youngest son’s soccer team also.  I praise God he had me marry a man who loves sports (hmm did I say that I use to curse it, anyways)…what I was saying is if the Lord blessed me with three boys I am so blessed he gave me a man who likes to be right there in the middle of everything they are doing.  When these boys are older I think they will realize what a blessing it was to always have their father there.

Well the pictures in this post were from last year, I will need to dust off my camera and get it ready.  Unfortunately I have not been as good using my camera as I was in the past, but sitting outside watching soccer gives me inspiration.

Hope all is well with you.  Do you like Fall if so what is the one thing you LOVE about the Fall season?

The first game was a struggle, my youngest played his heart out but his team ended up losing.

My middle son’s team was short some players, so my youngest was able to play soccer with the older kids.

My middle son is the one in red shorts.

This game rocked. My middle child scored 4 goals and my youngest scored 2, they won 8 to 6.

My three boys are currently playing soccer, my two oldest on one team and my youngest on another. Manly man is coaching our youngest.

I love this photo of my oldest playing goalie. This was his big save, then later on in the game he was able to score a goal himself while playing.

I am going to start wearing a shirt that says, “I did not dress my middle son.” Who in the world told him orange, baby blue, and red shoes matched? Good grief.

Last Thursday my youngest got his first goal. He was so excited, look at him run like the wind.
