it's official...

It's official...the boy were both offered spots on the U11 United soccer team!

 We are so proud of them...now we have to decide if this is something we want to do for absolute 100% sure!

United soccer try outs

 The littles and I headed out to Floyd's Fork for  United soccer try outs tonight! I begged and pleaded and killed them with kindness....and they finally relented and let Riggs and Rollins try out for their first level of a competitive team...Riggs was fine but with Rollins just turning 8....I had to really put my heart on the line to even  convince them to take a look at him....the girls and I waited with fingers crossed...just hoping they would give little Rollins a chance.....

 The boys tried hard....both of them.....

 They love soccer....even after the try outs ended...they stayed on the field...just the two of them...playing...just like they were in the back yard...

 This was night one of the two day try outs....and as the coach left the field I thanked him for his time and  especially for giving Rollins a chance...he told me right then and there that he would for sure offer them both a position on the team....
I was so happy...especially for Rollins who just wants to play...even though he is only 8...and even though he is little...Happy Moma....Happy boys!

United Cup

Mandy called to tell us that Colin and Jack had made it to the final game of the United Cup. The game was now and so we dropped what we were doing and headed to the soccer fields to cheer them on!  We were so glad that we did! I love it that Riggs wanted to support his friends and it was even sweeter that they won!

After a quick hug they did their BFF handshake! Friends till the end!

We are so proud of you, Col Ben!

He's back!

This summer has been about Riggs a bit...Riggs is the one who took to swimming on the swim team and Riggs has been preparing for cross country this summer too. It was so nice to get Rollins back on the soccer field tonight! As we pulled into Floyds Fork Park we geared up for United Soccer club!

 I dropped him off and watched from afar as he worked and drilled with his new team....

 Being so far away, I was unsure how he was doing...but the minute his face came into focus as he ran to me I could see my sweet, soccer playing boy was happy!

 Soccer and this boy get along just fine!

He's back...with short hair...but he is back!
