Soccer

Soccer has begun here for the first time here at the Crabtree home. Quinton and Weiland were both excited to play when the time came. So the first practice was a learning experiance for both since niether had played before. Quinton did pretty good to stick with it while Weiland spent most of his time at the water jug and even left before practice was done. This should have been an indicator of how the games were going to go. Game one: both boys still trying to figure this out, Quinton is not very aggresive so doesn't like to get in the jumble of kids trying to kick the ball, but does great when it's just him and the ball. Wei can get in there and kick it but mostly wanders.

Second game they had enough players that two needed to sit out and be rotated in. Weiland once pulled out never went back in, hence the end of Wei's soccer career for now, which is ok, soccer isn't for everyone. Quinton scored two goals in the second game and you could tell he understood much better this time and will get better each game. I think Wei would be better suited for T-ball next time so we'll give that a try when the time comes. It's just fun to go and watch the boys have fun and kindergarten/1st grade soccer is quite amusing!

Boys with Ryker, he had a game on the same field just before the boys game.


Weiland liked to kick off or throw the ball in.

This is how Weiland spent most of the game, everyone needs a little entertainment right?

The fun things I get to do with my boys and looking forward to lots more!

Hooray for soccer! At this age, we always called it 'magnet ball,' since all of the kids just run in a pack around the ball. So cute!

Landen likes to run as FAST as he can to the opposite end of the field each time the ball direction changes - regardless of if the ball keeps going in that direction. Too cute. He's more of a t-ball kind of kid too. Sounds like it runs in the family!
