So this happened last month, but it wasn’t until Aunt Tay Tay was giving me grief about my foamy finger that I realized I didn’t post these pictures!!! Bad mommy, bad!
Anyway, Game Day came to Atlanta early September for the UNC vs. LSU game playing in the Georgia Dome. So we went down to Centennial Olympic Park to check out the action.
Riley chasing after Ramses.
And then it was kick-off time for the Purdue game at home with dinner!
Yes, there are a lot of videos, but they are all short!
This is video of some practice shots…
Somehow I managed to video all 2.5 of his goals!!! And, forgive me, but for some reason it didn’t occur to me until the end of the game that I should move over to the end of the field with the net that we were scoring into versus the opposite side. So the videos are not awesome.
His first goal!
Awesome Defense!!! (To be honest, he didn’t know what he was doing, or at least I don’t think he did, but maybe I shouldn’t punk him out like that and make you all think he’s the bomb)
His second goal!
Staying with the ball….
And his 3rd goal, into the wrong goal after very many other wrong things…..
And the “good game hand shake line-up”. Serious cuteness.
Finn had his school pictures this week and he woke up with perfect hair. I was attempting to take a picture of it but he was swinging his hair and head all around messing up his perfect Justin Bieber do. However, these are just too cute to not share.
I got the mini-van…..
And now I’ve got my soccer player! Could you just die from this cuteness?
OK, now I’m going to brag about my kid. I know it is 3 yr old soccer and we didn’t keep score and its just for FUN and kids running around looking cute, but what kind of mom would I be if I wasn’t telling you how awesome Finn is? People who know me know how competitive I am, so maybe putting him in sports is probably not the best for ME. But I promise I’m going to try to play it cool. (disclaimer out of the way….)
Finn scored 2.5 goals. 2 goals in the right goal and 1 in the wrong goal! They played just 3 on 3 until the end when suddenly there were just a bunch more kids. But Finn went in on the second round. The game first started and our three players just stood there watching the other team run away with the ball. It was HILARIOUS. All of the parents on the sideline yelling after them to run, run, run, go get the ball and they just stood there watching. It took a couple of minutes before they started running around. The second rotation of kids, including Finn, knew exactly what to do, off they ran and scored immediately! Yay! All in all, it was serious cuteness. There were six mini-fields where we played and to see all these wee 3/4 yr olds in their soccer gear running around was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
I’m going to post a million pictures now, although, when don’t I? I’ve got like 6 videos too but I will put them in another post! :)
My boys!
Practicing with daddy and Riley before the game!
Go Rockets!
Order
And chaos!!!!
Do you see Finn in the middle? They were practicing “dribbling” the ball from one end of the field to the other! FYI, Finn is number 8.
Riley says “put me in coach!”
