Ethan and Carter's First Soccer Game

Yesterday was Ethan's first soccer game (this is his 4th season) and Carter's very first soccer game. Ethan's team is called The Green Goblins and Carter's is The Pirates (not sure why!) The pictures we took at home were before their games--Ethan just happened to spill chocolate milk all over himself at breakfast. The excitement of having his first soccer game on the same day of his birthday party was just too much for him. They both did great!! Ethan scored the very first goal of the game and even though he didn't realize it at first, he got super excited after he figured out what happened!! He played hard and really went after the ball. Carter also did great for his first game. He went after the ball, and even got to kick it a few times! When he did, he looked over at me and Donnie and started jumping up and down yelling that he kicked the ball. At another point of the game, he looked over at me and just yelled, "I love you, Mommy!" He did a lot of jumping instead of running whenever he was in, and kept looking over and giving us thumbs up! But the most exciting part was that he didn't cry!!


I thought this was a cute picture! He told me he was tired of standing, so I gave him his ball to sit on.
