Soccer season has begun!



I just call this Portrait of a Boy -- notice all the dirt and the smirk...there's a lot of attitude and personality in the this piece. ;-)

This is Abby after she cut in and took the ball away from two players on the other team...go Abby! She rocked!


This might be the one time Ryker kicked the ball during the game. Don't be fooled...he is cute and all, and it looks like he enjoys what he is doing. However, his sole motivation was candy!

It was a tie game...so they're off to a great start. They didn't win any games last year, and it was a fight to keep Abby in the game. So, why, you might ask, are we letting her play this year if she hated it last year. Well, she begged...and begged and begged some more. We told her if she whines or refuses to play, we'll take the $40, plus money for shoes, shin guards, etc., right out of her piggy bank. She has done great at practice and went right after the ball several times today. She also picked her butt and wrestled with her brother, but this is preschool and kindergarten soccer. They HAVE to show off like that or it wouldn't be real. ;-)
