Soccer

Another soccer season is coming to a close. It's been a fun season. This year, Rhett has been playing U8 and Braden has been playing U10. Rhett graduated up to playing the full length of the field this year and actually learning positions. He has enjoyed it a lot more and has done much better with paying attention to the game and knowing what to do and when. It's been very fun to watch each of them play this season.

Rhett- in the middle.

Braden

Braden is still loving soccer and has decided to stick with it through the winter this year. He made the decision to focus on soccer (for now) and he will be skipping basketball this winter and possibly even skipping baseball in the spring to continue. His plans are to try out for the local academy soccer team this spring. Rhett will be playing basketball for the first time this winter. Braden will continue to have soccer practice on Mondays and we're not sure what night Rhett will have basketball practice. Throw in Gracie's Tuesday afternoon dance class and the fact that the boys each have homework to do each night and it makes it nuts on those nights! Jason is usually working into the times that the kids have their activities, so I'm on my own a lot of the times. It doesn't bother me as long as I can do it. I'm a little concerned if their practices are going to overlap though. How am I supposed to have them in different places at the same time?? I'm trying not to worry about it. Hopefully Jason will be able to help out most of the time to ease the burden. The most interesting part is that they will both be playing their games on Saturdays with varying times on the schedules. So, this should be a rather interesting juggling act. But, such is life and what's a little more chaos on an already KRAZY life?!?!
I'm thankful that we have the means to allow them to partcipate in these things that they enjoy so much and I'll follow them wherever they want to go!
