Soccer Practice

Will and Landon both started soccer practice this week. They are both playing through the YMCA, which is right up the road from us. Originally we were just going to put Will in soccer, but when we found out that they start at age 3, we decided to sign Landon up too. Anything to help relieve some of his energy!! Both the boys have an hour practice during the week (of course they practice on different days) and then they both have games on Saturday's that will last through the fall.

We'll start with Landon since his practice was first.

Landon getting ready to go to his first soccer practice. This is an action shot as he was so excited to go that he wouldn't stand still for this picture.

And he's off.........After Landon met his couch for the season, they ran around to warm up. He has no problem running, which is one of the reasons we put him in soccer.

Stretching.

More stretching.
I think he's warmed up and ready to go.

The Landon grin!!

Landon did great at practice. He did everything his coach said and was one of the few 3 year olds that would practice out on the field without mommy or daddy. He is definitely not shy. At the end of practice the coach got all the kids in a circle and asked that each child tell his/her name. So Landon decided to go first and immediately ran right up to the coach and said "hi, I'm Landon Morgan"!! Mommy and daddy were cracking up as well as everyone else. We really don't know where he gets his little personality (non-shyness) from, but a day doesn't go by when he does not say or do something to make us laugh.

After patiently waiting 2 days after Landon's practice it was finally Will's turn to go to practice. Will absolutely loves soccer, well really he loves all sports!! Will started at age 3 playing soccer, so this is his 4th season.

After Will met his coach for the season they started warming up with stretches.

Stretching some more.
Will did great with the drills. He's definitely more aggressive this season. We didn't get too many pictures of Will because it rained for the first part of practice. Will had fun running around in the rain though. At the end of practice, Will's coach asked the team what name they wanted to be and Will said "Tarheels". The team must not have liked that because they decided to be the "Champions".

The Morgan house hold is definitely not a dull moment right now between work, church, school and soccer!!
