A Sunny Saturday

Spring sports have begun! Again Nate is playing flag football and Mac is playing soccer. And again, Elly has not had the option to play.:) She would like to play soccer, but as her brothers weren't playing when they were 5, we decided to not add to our crazy schedule. Fortunately with Nate's games, she has two other little sisters to run around with. Here's some pics from today.

Here's some pictures of Nate on defense. I forgot I had my camera for the first half of the game, which is when he played offense. He did catch and run the ball for a touchdown though!


We were able to hit the park afterwards to play with some friends. This little one with Elly is a little sister to a boy in her kindergarten class. She loves Mel!


Later we headed to Mac's soccer game. You can see the weather heading in! It was beautiful all morning, but the weather man is calling for possible snow tomorrow. I hope not! In the first couple pics Mac is playing defense.


He then got to play goalie. I was a bit nervous watching him play there, being the last line of defense, but he did great as you'll see from some of his smiles. He stopped all but one...which was a great shot. Even getting a congrats at the end from a buddy.


Can you believe how big they're getting?! Nate still kind of looks small on the football field, but he is, and his team is mainly 3rd graders playing 4th graders. They're a good team, although they're definitely being challenged this season. Nate's learning that you don't always win and we've had lots of talks about still having a good attitude and being an encouraging teammate. He's an intense one! Mac's been fun to watch this season. He's getting more aggressive and persistant with his playing. HE looks big on the soccer field! I really can't believe how big he is these days! He's busting out of his size 10 jeans and stealing my flip flops. It's crazy...
