If you’re sick of us posting about soccer, have no fear. This may very well be the last post about it for a while, since we just had our last game on Saturday! It definitely dominated our lives for a month, because the games were held twice a week. But it was a great season! Pace undertook quite the job when he volunteered to coach the team. But the kids loved him, and I think Pace was glad he did it, after all.

Below are some photos I took when they were taking individual and team shots that you could order. I decided to just do our own shots Unfortunately, two girls didn’t make it for the team photo, but we won’t ever forget them.

Below they’re doing a team cheer they did after each game. Also, Pace distributed their gold medals after the last game, telling each one how they were important to the team. He said he hadn’t intended to do that, but he had to continue with each child after he’d started. To one particular kid who never paid attention and constantly wrapped his shirt over his head and such, Pace said, “You were…. memorable.” All the parents laughed, because it was true!

Chase always enjoyed the team “snacks” that were distributed by different parents after each game. These were no orange slices, folks. They were full-on junk food/desserts. But hey, the kids loved them!

Chase has scored a lot this soccer season, and we are so proud of how hard he plays. We’re glad if he runs the whole game really, but on some occasions we are really proud. If you didn’t get a chance to come see him play, just watch this clip 12 times and that’s pretty much a game.

Update, here’s one from Grandaddy’s angle.

While Joy posts about her dessert tastes, I’d like to mention this awesome tid bit from yesterday. Chase said that this was his favorite song, and that he loved it.

Three Dog Night’s, Old Fashioned Love Song… yeah an oldie. I thought it was SO great that this 4 year old wanted to rock out to music his Grandparents listened to. At least I’ve done something right.

Actually, whenever Chase rides with me he asks to stop on the oldies station. He says he likes it the most. I try to rotate around the stations and tell him what the different types of music are. So far he prefers Oldies, RAP, and Heavy Metal…. weird kid. Must get the RAP and Heavy Metal from his mother.
