Summer Soccer

We signed the boys up for indoor soccer for this summer, which has no practices, just games on Saturdays. Casen is finally old enough to play, so we signed him up as well as Camden. Casen has been so excited to play and he and his daddy and Camden have been practicing.

Well, much to my dismay, when it was time for Casen to play his first game today, he became a crying, slobbering mess. UGH!!!! He basically refused to even walk onto the field while the other kids were playing. Shane did a lot of talking and coxing, but to no avail.

This is as close as he got to playing soccer

Still crying!

How Casen spent the majority of the game.

After Casen refused to play, despite Shane's attempts, we left during the third quarter. I will say, Casen is very stubborn. According to Shane's mother, he gets it honestly. Apparently Shane did the exact same thing when he was Casen's age. I will admit, Casen probably received a double dose of the 'stubborn' gene, however I know good and well I did not act like this. : ) Perhaps, next week will be better for Casen . .  . .

Camden's first summer game was a bit later this morning and he was excited to get back in the swing of things since he took off a season to play t-ball. He was really excited about his cool jersey - he thinks it is the coolest jersey around!

Camden started out a bit shy, but after he got in the swing of things, he scored a goal. Woo Hoo!! I will admit,I think this is going to be a rough season to watch because aside from one or two other of Camden's team mates, the other players lack focus. I am not seeing too many wins on the horizon, but that is OK, we are here to just have fun, right?
