He's a Soccer Rock Star!







Beck started soccer last Saturday. Me, being a loser mom, forgot the camera for his first game. It was hilarious. He was seriously a rock star! At one point, he was the only one from his team on the field, (the others were crying) and he held his own against 3 from the other team! He ended up playing the entire game because his teammates were having "emotional issues..." (Think London, the early soccer years) My mom offered him a dollar for every goal he scored. He played his hardest and even though he didn't score a goal, Grandma Jilly delivered, and he's a dollar richer! He was so excited for that dollar. He was running around all afternoon with it, and when I didn't see him holding it anymore, I asked where it was. He proudly smiled, lifted up his shirt, and there it was tucked into his undies. If soccer doesn't pan out for a career, there's always another career where dollars can also be earned and tucked into the undies!
We're so proud of you Beck!

How cute! I wish Tanner had his aggression too. I'm a little worried for soccer this year again...Tanner is like London. I am keeping my fingers crossed all the butterflys are gone this year so he doesn't have to chase any and can focus on the BALL!!!! Sure is entertaining to watch though. lol.
