The End of a Soccer Season

Our week ended with Kyler's last soccer game. He had a great team this year. Because of the move, we registered late in the season. As a result, we didn't get to pick our team. Of course, that's really no big deal when you don't know anyone, but it meant that Kyler was on a team with kids from a completely different school than his. But, in the end, it turned out perfect. The kids and their parents were so much fun. They played a great season...they didn't win much, but they had fun. Here's a few fun shots of Kyler:


After the final game, we hosted an ice cream party and awards ceremony at our house. It was so nice having all Kyler's friends over. I'm glad he got to meet so many great friends. Here's a picture of the coach talking to the boys before the trophies were handed out. I would have gotten a picture of Kyler getting his trophy, but just as that was about to happen, a few of the younger siblings in the background thought it would be fun to wrap the climbing rope around them as they went down the slide. A Mom squealed just as the coach's son went down the slide with the rope around his neck. SCARY!! The good news is we got there in time, he was fine, and the rope came down right away. The bad news is I missed the trophy ceremony.


Soccer was fun, but now we're moving into a new season with new interests for Kyler. He's decided soccer is fun, but not what he loves. He starts basketball in a couple of weeks with Enoch as his coach. Tomorrow, though, he starts Chess Club, which he is so excited about. His best friend, Hayden, signed up, too. They're both looking forward to the District Tournament in December. I can't help but think of the movie, "Searching for Bobby Fisher". Enoch and I keep joking that we're going to be the nervous, uptight parents in the back room hoping our kid will win! I can't wait.
