Soccer Mom, Soccer Wife, Soccer Life

It's spring time and in our house it seems like we are eating and breathing soccer! Spring time is usually crazy with my husband being a public school teacher. The end of the school year is nuts and just plain busy! Our homeschool continues throughout the summer which is good because there is no ending the school year. At this point most schools are trying to finish up the year. It seems like the kids are extra energetic and super excited looking forward to summer and fun.
This year my big kids are playing soccer they are playing on the Pre-K Kindergarten team. This is Eli's third year since he started in preschool. He truly seems to love this sport more than the rest and his understanding of the sport is continuing to grow. This is Bella's very first year and she is very excited to play with her brother. She is fortunate to play with her little BFF Ninon. They think it is fantastic being on the same team!

These kiddos are super lucky not only is Ninon's dad their volunteer coach from Europe (who actually knows about soccer) but their daddy caught the soccer fever in the late 90's when soccer was not prominent here in our area.  He played through high school and achieved a scholarship to college. These kids have access to a countless knowledge of the game. Which leads me to the second half of today's title he is now a coach for his home team. The team he played for in high school many years ago.
Not only do my two children have practice once a week and a game every weekend but Daddy's high school team practices every day and there are at least 2 games a week. We are fortunate this year that we have multiple home games, which the kids and I always go to. We love it! We love all things soccer and purple in this house! We wouldn't trade it for anything but if you're making plans or trying to contact me try back in the summer. ;-)
