Soccer Soccer Soccer

Our lives right now are pretty simple. School, soccer and football. It seems that we are always going to either practices or games (because we are!) It is fun for me to watch my kids play. To watch them get better, to see them handle pressure well or get excited when they score or make a really good block. I actually love to go to these games.
I don't get to take pictures very often anymore. McKay really struggles at these games so I took advantage of this Saturday when my MIL came to help out. She held McKay while I took pictures to my heart's content.
Palmer love sports in any form. He will go to a soccer game, play his heart out, head to football, play his heart out and then come home and run around the house/neighborhood for the rest of the day. That kid has some serious energy. Palmer's team is called the Volcanoes.
It is fun to watch him get better and figure out what Josh is telling him to do. My favorite thing however is that he makes it a point to become friends with the other kids. After his games are over and while the other boys are playing, you can see Palmer running around with the kids he just played AGAINST. He knows all of their names too.
Hunter's games are fun as well. He also has some incredible energy going on.
The other teams get a little sick of playing Hunter's team. Hunter is pretty good and they have another kid named Sam that just scores and scores the whole game. Their name is the Alligators (so cute!)
I love to watch Hunter's face after he scores a goal. He walks around with a look like "yep I am cool" on his face.
And he is pretty cool.
I don't get to see Lincoln play as much as I would like. Josh coaches him so I go with Hunter to his games. Some times they are close and I can watch both games, which I love. 
He also has some serious skills.
His team doesn't have very many players so he usually has to play the whole game. That is a lot of running for a little kid.
I will be glad when the run from soccer to football is over, but I will miss soccer. It is very good to us. To me it just screams Autumn.
