Parker's soccer team- The Hornets!

On March 7th Parker has his 2nd soccer game. At least the weather was a little more cooperative this day, it was still windy, but not as cold. Today they had their pictures taken. I'm glad I grabbed the camera before I left the house so I could capture some pictures of my own. I get a little teary eyed when I look at the top 2 pictures.............Parker looks so grown up in those pictures, it is hard to believe he will be 5 soon! He looks so handsome in his soccer uniform, its hard not to get all choked up. The last picture is of his team, The Hornets along with their coach Tony. There are actually 6 boys on his team, but one was missing when the picture was taken. Usually Parker doesn't have a problem smiling for the camera, but for some reason on this day he was always acting silly! Every time I would ask him to smile "normally" he would squint his eyes or act silly and not sit still. I just hope the professional pictures turned out better.

The game was so funny to watch. Even thought we got out bottoms kicked, it was so much fun to watch! At one point in the game Parker got a hold of the ball and began kicking it down the field, which is great, but he was going in the wrong direction! Everyone was cheering him on and encouraging him to turn around and go the other way, but he was in the zone, that he just kept going and scored a goal in the other teams goal. As long as Parker is having a good time and getting exercise that is all that matters to me at this point. He is still learning and will have plenty of time to practice and improve his skills. I'm so proud of my little red headed boy!
