Soccer, Soccer, Soccer...

And other stuff, too.

Soccer has been so much fun this year. Just this week William and Judson played against each other, and it was so fun to watch.

I mostly have mediocre soccer pictures to share. It seems like either the light is bad, or the kids have commandeered my camera, or I'm too distracted by visiting with friends or family.

William is enjoying the game...

He gets in a few good kicks just about every game.

(I warned you they were mediocre!)

Trevor has really improved this year. Boy, that just didn't pack the punch I wanted.
Trevor has REALLY improved this year. I can't believe he is the same kid we watched last year. He still enjoys playing Forward, and gets some kicks in. But his new great thing is playing Defense.

Ok, here's a really bad picture...but look close:

If you look close, you can see Trevor (the little one to the left, with his arms out, kicking the -hidden- ball) running up to some pretty big kids...the ball is behind that person's head in the picture. Trevor has just become un-afraid of the ball, and of the other boys. He is DETERMINED to keep that ball away from the goal. It is so fun to watch him working hard and having fun.

Not sure who took that one, but I like it...Trevor looks happy.

We have had other fun on the weekends...

One of the boys had the idea to play Croquet a while back... that was a lot of fun.

I don't think William was swinging that at Samuel's head...There was a lot of "high-sticking" going on, though...

We have also enjoyed flying airplanes...

How fun is that????

Thanks for the planes, Grandpa!! (And the Croquet!)

William flies the most, but the other boys really enjoy it, too...

(And wasn't that a pretty picture?! What a nice yard for flying airplanes!)

Also, Tim built the boys a ramp for their scooters and bikes...

I'll just splash up all the pictures I have of that and let you enjoy their different faces and concentration...and notice when they get "air".

Lastly, we have been enjoying one of our new "toys"...a Cool Daddy Fryer. Man, have we had some good food lately. Or, maybe I should say "tasty"...not sure how good it is for us. At least it's good for morale... Good and tasty.

We made these wonderful donuts on a Saturday morning recently:

We got the fryer with Christmas money from Joe...Thanks for the fryer Joe!!
