Soccer part 2

We have now entered the world of two children playing sports. Macie started her first season of soccer on Saturday. I was not planning to sign her up, but they are having a league in our neighborhood. It is just one hour on Saturday morning. Jeff and Brad are coaching like they did for the boys. So, we are again spending Saturdays at the soccer field. I think Macie might end up liking it better than Carson. Here are some pictures of the cutest little player.

Walking down the sidewalk to the field. I don't know if you can see how big the ball looks over her left shoulder.
Getting a hug from coach daddy after one her own team mates stole the ball from her causing her to start sobbing.
You can not tell by all the parents of the field, but this is during the game. She is actually touching the ball. It took Carson a couple season before he got this close to the ball in a game.
The last two are of practice before the game. I just think she is adorable!

Click here to see some pictures of Carson's first game. It was just about 3 years ago to the day! He is on a year round swim team this year, so we don't have to be in 2 places at once very often. His first meet isn't until October 16th.

Busy day and Macie on the move

We have had a crazy day today. Jeff woke Carson up at 6:30 to make the 8 am meet and greet for soccer. All of the games will be at 8 as well, but they will be much closer to our house so we will not have to get him up as early. Carson was really excited and has been wearing his soccer shirt since he came home. Jeff said he thinks Carson will follow directions during practice, but he isn't sure how he will do in games. Macie and I went to weight watchers while they were there so I can not tell you much more.

As soon as the boys got home, we left for Stone Mountain. Jeff's company had an appreciation day so we went out for the afternoon. They have really made some changes since we were last there. It was so hot the only attraction we did was the train ride. I think we will go back in a few months and do some more. I would love to climb the mountain, but I will have to convince Jeff that he can carry Macie up on his back!

Both kids were beat when we got back to the car. Carson slept on the way home and then fell back asleep on the couch. Every time he does this he looks like he is made of wax lying on the couch! Macie of course thought she had enough sleep so she has been going since then. She is going to bed very soon!

Since Carson got a good rest, Jeff took him bowing with Carter and Brad this evening. He has bowled one time before when Rene' and the kids were in town. I am sure he is having a great time with Carter.

Macie is still working hard on crawling. She can get where she wants to go by rolling or leaping, but she really wants to crawl. If she can figure out what to do with her arms, she will be set. I have a little video of her moving around. You can see how she gets up on her hands and toes and tries to leap forward. Hope you enjoy seeing her!

Jeff spent the afternoon at home with the kids. I had to go work a consignment sale so I can get into the preview sale tomorrow night. It was actually fun to get everything set up for the sale. I have several things picked out for Macie. Hopefully, I will get in early enough to get what I want.

Jeff took the kids to get Carson's gear for soccer. This Saturday is the meet and greet with the team. They have next week off for Labor Day and then the games begin. It sound like they will have a game every Saturday at 8 am. We are going to have to get going as soon as we wake up to make it on time. Everyone is invited to come watch. I am sure it will be entertaining. There are only 8 kids on the team and 4 are from our neighborhood. Cole, Carter, Eli, and Carson will be coached by Jeff and Carter's dad Brad. Addison (Carter's little sister) and Macie will be the cheerleaders! I am sure I will make you see lots of pictures. (Dad I might want to borrow your camera sometime for a game)
