soccer, sailing and some more

I had mentioned soccer and then forgot to post last weeks practice.  The big first game happens tomorrow.  Bradley is on team Courage.  Don’t even get us started on that.  They are going to need some courage because they aren’t looking so hot.  It is just a little town league with no rules.  Essentially it is going to be chaotic fun for the players and I am sure we will be peeing our pants laughing at this half hour game of 4 and 5 year olds.  I would imagine it will be PC too where no team really wins or loses.

Here is Brad, who had been nominated Assistant Coach pretty much.  The coach is a coach of two other things so he spread himself too thin.  Bradley’s face lights up to see his Daddy coaching.  He scored a goal and looked at Brad and said “that’s because I am your best big boy Daddy!” in front off all the players.

Running Drills.  Brad also shows no favoritism and singled Bradley out and made him run the drill again to the black line that he fell short of running to the first time.

Gavin clapped for Bradley the whole time and shouted “Go Bradwee!” It was so adorable and I didn’t set him up for it.  They all put their hands in at the end and shouted “Go Courage!” Aren’t you motivated to have some courage in your life now?  Wherever you were lacking, go out and JUST DO IT! Love it!

It has really been raining here but this was on Friday when it was my laundry day anyways.  Bradley does this every time.  Once all the close are out he finds great use out of this laundry basket.  Here are him and Easton in their sailboat using his sword as a fishing pole and a paddle.

I know I forgot to write in the 9 month post that Easton is clapping now! Another adorable and wonderful milestone.

I went to put Bradley’s clothes away and found this.  We are hoping this is Engineer material.

Lastly, here is Gavin playing “Peek- A – Boo.”

I swear, it is the simplest things that make my day! He was playing with Daddy here.

B and E are just too cute in that sailboat! Can't wait for the game recap...C is "playing" soccer here too (for 2s and 3s) and it's hilarious. I was expecting no winners and losers too but it's funny to hear the other parents say things like "yeah, we really killed the Minnows last week!" Too funny!
