soccer

We've been spending a lot of time outside lately.  Yesterday I think Colin only came in to use the bathroom the whole day.  Colin has gotten into play soccer and will take the balls and kick them all over the backyard to the goal.  (We signed him up Sunday night to play soccer and are just waiting to hear what team he'll be on. We're all very excited!)

But Joel is now wanting to play soccer too.  Here Colin is giving Joel a ball he can play with.  And the funny thing is that Joel will crawl and push the ball towards the "goal" too.  He works so hard and uses so much energy.  I have some videos of him doing it but somehow it wont let me upload them here.  So cute to watch. 

Showing Joel how to kick the ball but then I explained that Joel can't walk yet so he needs to still crawl :)  Although he wants to walk, I'd rather him crawl longer. Babies grow up so fast I'd rather him still be baby for a little longer.  And he's really crawling now. He has abandoned the wounded soldier crawl for something faster :) 

Catching Joel when he fell over. Colin is such a good big brother. 

The goal.  Between two bushes.  They both love this game.  Colin will play soccer in the backyard for hours. And so will Joel.  I hope this warm weather is here to stay.

On monday we went to the zoo with Kelly, Heidi and all the kids.  Heidi has a cute little boy Joel's age.  Here are some of us on the train.  Thanks Heidi for taking it. I'll have to put up more pictures later but they boys are awake and ready to go. HOpefully for another full fun day outside.
