Lillie and Samuel participated in Spring soccer this year and it was a lot of fun! Originally only Samuel was going to do it but when we went to sign ups Lillie said she wanted to play too. We let her but only on the promise that if she complained she wouldn't be allowed to start gymnastics in the Fall. Well, Samuel loved every minute of it. He got out there, ran as fast as he could, kept constant score, and did everything his coach told him to do. Lillie....went to every practice and game and didn't complain once. Needless to say, Samuel misses soccer now that it's over and can't wait to start again in the Fall. Lillie will be doing gymnastics since she passed her test.
We had a lot of fun going to practices on Wednesday nights and games on Saturday mornings. Here are some of my favorite memories:
~ Lillie was on an all boys team and said she hated it but really I think she had a lot of fun. She did use that as yet another reason than she needs a sister though. Apparently she is the only girl a lot and life is not fair.
~ Samuel's team singing their Tiny Titan song at every practice and game
~ This was a non-competitive league. However, in the first game Samuel's team was doing really well. Each time they scored a goal he'd run across the entire length of the field holding up the score on both his hands and yelling "NINE!!!!! WE HAVE NIIIIIIINNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!" or whatever the score was. His coaches had to talk to him. ;) That's my competitive boy!
Lillie is in the blue jersey in the back getting prepped to play goalie. That was her favorite position.
Cutie Pie!

The Titans with their end of game gift from the coaches. He really lucked out and got some great coaches this season. We're hoping they'll still be there in the Fall.
