Well Cade had his first game on Saturday and he did very well. He was the goaly the whole time which got frustrating for him. I never realized how hard it is to see your child so upset when they feel they have failed at something. I guess I didnt help any because I got frustrated with him not paying attention to the game but posing for Grandma R while she took pics. I actually had to take a time out and take some deep breaths. We had a great talk after about how the game went and I let him know that it was ok that they lost because it was his first game and that he had fun and that is all that matters. I learned from this experience that it is harder for them when they see and hear a little disappointment when you talk to them. I actually had said that I was disappointed that he didnt pay attention at times and right then I realized what I just said crushed his little spirit so I explained to him what I meant by it and that i thought he played great and that he did a good job blocking some of the attempts. I will Never use that word again when talking to my kids about sports or anything other then actions that truly are disappointing. I hope this all makes since as I am getting confused. Sorry had a very long week at work and I am ready for this weekend. Well Cade has another game same place at 9am so if you want to join come along and bring some chairs. If you dont know where it is call me. Love you all!

Cade has been begging to be in soccer for the last 2 years so we finally decided that we should put him in it. We havent signed him up before because Jeff and I work such crazy schedules and Jeff is in school so it is hard to have the kids in anything. We tried dance for Reise and just ended up paying a lot for lessons we missed so it wasnt worth it and neither of us were able to commit to getting off work ontime to take her so we took her out. This was about a year ago. So we have been hesitant about signing them up. Well after a lot of thought we decided that we had to sign him up because it wasnt far for us to let our work and school schedules to run their lives nor ours. So we are going to try our hardest to get him to practice ontime and most of his games are on Saturday's which neither of us work so that is good. He had his first practice on Thursday... He is a real champ and he just went out there and did what he does best.... As you can see in the pictures he really does know how to play. Who would have known...hehehe Our little soccer man!
