end of soccer

 Saturday we had Colins last soccer game.  He is giving the coach a high five.  He started that after one of the first practices. After Colin scored he would always give his coach a high five. At first he would go up and just hold his hand up without saying anything and then I think the coach's wife had to clue the coach in on what Colin wanted.  haha but shortly afterwards ALL the kids were going up and giving the coach and assistant coach high fives.  Colins favorite part of the game.  His team won (as usual - they had a winning season! ha!) but the exciting part was that his game was filmed and shown on the 6:00 and 11:00 news! 
Colin hates getting his picture taken but LOVES videos.  So he was in awe of the big camera.  We all sat down and watched the news and were surprised how much they showed.  We have watched it maybe 15 times already. Colin loves it.  Here is the clip that his coach put on you tube. Colin was surprised to see his coach on TV - "how does he do that?" is what he said. (we were all joking at the soccer pizza party tonight how our kids all love to watch this video and that it'll get the most hits of any wavy news 10 videos.  And the way the kids all glowed and loved to talk about them being on TV tonight i wouldn't doubt it)

Colin didn't score his 6 goals he's been averaging at this game. He was very serious each time it was his turn to take a break (the kids play 4 minutes on 4 minutes off) but then was very excited each time and did his little dance onto the field when he was called back on.

Joel had fun as usual.  He also made a good friend with another little brother on the team.  His name was Colin too and Joel and little Colin would usually sit in their strollers and share toys and sippy cups back and forth. 

I think we might be done with soccer though.  Colin doesnt want to play in the fall right now. He's on to new sports - tball is the favorite right now.  His friend aiden on the team also wants to play tball so we'll see if we can get them both on the same team. Although a lot could change between now and then.

oh that serious picture is so cute... and I love the one of Joel and Brent... awesome!
I was so jealous being back in America and seeing all the little kids playing t-ball. It made me wish Eli could play, he would love it.
