Soccer mom

As of today, I'm officially a "soccer mom."  Woo!
Kaden's first game EVER was today and he was so, so excited!



The kids practiced for 30 minutes, then the game was 30 minutes.  They stopped every 15 minutes for water breaks (it's sunny, so I was glad).  Kaden kicked the ball into the goal twice during the practice time and was so excited to play against the other team.  (Kaden's team name is the Fire Dragons, by the way.)

GOAL!

Kaden kept holding his shorts while he ran.  I'm going to have to work with him on that.
During the game, Kaden was around mid-field and kicked the ball.  It was nowhere near the goal and when he saw that he didn't kick it in the net, he literally had a meltdown mid-field.  He just started crying and crying and his coach tried talking to him, but ten minutes later (while the game went on around him), I told the coach to just put someone else in for him.  Kaden came off the field crying about how he never wants to play soccer again.  Although he enjoyed the treats after the game.  ;)

Ari was loving the sun!
After the game, the kids played on the playground for a while, then we headed to RC Willey for some free grub.

Seriously, is her belly not the cutest thing ever?!

Hydrating....

Nom, nom, nom...
We perused RC Willey for a while, then headed to my dad's house and killed some time before heading to our friends' 30th birthday party!

Cheese!

Surprise!!!

He said he had no idea.  :)

Old man!



It was so fun to see friends and get to play almost the entire day outside in the beautiful weather!

It was 7:00 before we left the park and we headed to Kohl's (even with tired kiddos - Shane can't resist 30% off there - haha).  We finally got home and the kids were begging to go to bed (they all fell asleep in the car).  That's my kind of day - play hard, sleep harder.  ;)

I can't wait for him to make his first real goal. He will be ecstatic. He looked cute in his uniform. We were hoping to find you guys at the games.
