Baseball, Soccer and Basketball OH MY!






It is funny how when sports overlap sometimes they REALLY overlap! So, here it goes: Tyler and Ryan finished basketball but have now started baseball so this Saturday we had two baseball practices back to back. Then Jacob had his LAST basketball game but 2 hours before that he had his FIRST soccer game. This was all on one Saturday by the way! We literally had sports going on from 9am - 6:30pm with a few breaks in between. Now the sports are soccer and baseball. By the way, Tyler is on two baseball teams because of one being a travel/tournament team so he has 4 practices a week, Ryan has two and Jacob has two, this doesn't include the baseball games! Then you add scouts, playtime and mom and dad time. And then there is that small little detail of homework we have to fit in. I love it though, it keeps my boys active and encourages so many different experiences for them. (Don't ask me to say that again right smack dab in the middle of baseball season though, you might not get the same response!!) So, here are a few pictures of Jacob's last basketball game and 1st soccer game. The soccer game was funny because Jeff had been working with him on NOT touching the ball in soccer. We talked about it all the way to the soccer field in fact about putting his hands behind him if he thought he was going to touch the ball. Well, the first quarter he ended up being goalie and he didn't get that he could actually pick up the ball while playing goalie! It was so funny! Jeff ended up walking over and explaining it to him and then he got it and actually caught a ball that was about to go in and the other team DID NOT score! His team ended up winning their first game, Jacob loves soccer and can't wait to play again. Thanks Shondell and Alisha for being awesome coaches!
