Soccer, Soccer and more Soccer!!

This picture was taken right before Neal yelled at Aliya to push a girl that kept pushing Aliya out of the way! I supplied Neal with some appropriate phrases to yell out at next weeks game. Such as: "Great Job Sweetheart!" or "Good Hussle!" NOT "Aliya, if that girl keeps pushing you, push her back." I advised him to quietly call Aliya over and then, in private, tell her to push her back. :)

Today was the first Games of the soccer season! Landon is playing for the first time and so is Grant!! Having three kids in soccer is going to be a little hectic! I discovered today that I am not a very good Soccer Mom!! It was hot outside! A lot of people had those giant umbrellas. That will be first on my shopping list this week. I only had one Gatorade for each kid and NO WATER for three hours of games. Don't even ask me what I was thinking. Aliya and Landon slept at the Grandparent's house last night so I must have fried some brain cells sleeping in!! Grant is the young one on his team and he only made it through half of his game. We will see how next week goes. Aliya did awesome and had a lot of fun! Landon was extremely tired from sleeping at Grandma's, but he ran his little heart out. Every time he would kick the ball he would slide. I kept having to remind him that it's not baseball. Overall it was a good day. We were all tired and I hope next week is not so hot. Thanks Shanna for letting me share in some of your shade!! I strive to be as prepared as you next week. :) I will post more Soccer pictures and maybe some video in the coming weeks.
