Soccer

Both Ayden and Ellie are playing soccer this fall. Ayden is really enjoying playing but with Ellie it's hit and miss.

Ayden's been playing mid field this year and is doing well in that position. He isn't the most aggressive player so he feels comfortable in this position. He does well stopping the ball and getting it back up field to the forwards. 
Ellie needs a little more encouragement to get into her games. Each game she whines that she doesn't want to play, but once she's out there kicking the ball and even making goals, she gets so excited. Spencer is one of her coaches so that helps having him there to remind her to play!
Tate is a great cheerleader for both of them. But he does get kinda bored at the games. 

He usually has something football related to do: playing his "football guys" or playing his own game of football.

Both kids have their games on Saturday mornings so from 9am to about 1pm, we are at soccer games. It's been fun watching them and seeing their excitement at their progress.
