It's finally Isaac's turn!

This little 3 1/2 year old has been waiting and waiting and begging for his turn to finally be on a team. Unfortunately, no sports start until the kids are really 3. Which makes sense because even at 3 it's not much of a sporting event- more just good entertainment for the spectators and friends for the kids.

Isaac is so hilarious. He's really only interested in socializing with the other kids, and in keeping the ball out of his team's goal. I'm sure he learned that from watching Ethan and hearing us comment on that. But he's funny. He's been knocked down twice already by his coach who assumes all the kids are off in front of him chasing the ball and instead Isaac is staying back to defend his goal, or to examine a bug in the grass, or just because he's watching something else that seems interesting to him.

This little girl scored on her own team twice in a row which is why the coach and ref and Isaac(who was very upset that she scored on him) are all trying to explain to her which way she should be kicking. LOVE 3 year old soccer!

Miles passes the time drinking (pouring on himself) water and then loudly yelling "yo, yo, yo" at the players (that's go if you don't speak Milo monkey).


Isaac in his slightly, okay totally, girly looking uniform. Seriously? Did the cute, curly-haired, long lashed, doe eyed boy really need to be stuck on the only girl color jersey team? Oh well. He's in love with his uniform and asked almost daily when he next game is and if he can wear his uniform. He's even in love with the color since it's close to REAL Salt Lake's color and he SO wants to be their goalie Romando. He goes around talking about Romando all the time.

Ethan spends his time cheering on the team. Have we raised good spectators or what? You can even see him jumping up and down in this shot.



Isaac doesn't even care he's out of the game because he has a friend to talk to.


And sometimes Miles and Ethan wander off to play in the empty fields. So nice that I can watch Isaac and these 2 are getting old enough to play on their own a little.

We've got another month of games and Isaac is loving each and every one of them!
