Colson Enters the Soccer World

Two things that I said I would never do: 1) Drive a mini van and 2) Be a soccer mom....and...I DO BOTH!!!! Colson had mentioned early in the summer that he wanted to try to play soccer. We have always noticed that Colson was not a strong thrower or catcher of a ball but was kicking very well at a very young age. We decided to put him in this fall. We are very blessed to live near an amazing soccer league called Klein Soccer Club. It is a HUGE league that is organized and runs like a well-oiled machine! Colson was so excited to find out he is a Cheetah this year! He went to the first practice and found out that 2 boys on his team are his buddies in his class at school also. He was so excited to play with Trevor and Ethan! The team has 9 kids on it that have all played together in the past. We are the only new addition. There are two girls on the team because they play co-ed until the age of 7. The team has a few power house players on it. Colson is learning very well and is impressive considering it is his first time to play. He even scored a goal during the third game of the season! ONE PROUD MOMMA!
