Did I really say that?!

Tueseday was Brigham and Levi's first soccer game. It was also my first time uttering the words, "GO RIDGIES!" I have to admit that the second it came out of my mouth, I had to suppress a laugh. If only the Bulldog cheerleader in me of 15 years ago could hear me now yelling for my son's Ridgerunner team! They were the ultimate rival. How silly it all is now but I have to admit; it's still in me!

YMCA soccer is so fun because they don't keep score; at least not at this age. I love that! It's just all fun. In fact, I was really impressed that Levi's coach actually cheered for the other team when they would make a goal. That is the way sports should be, in my opinion. Now wait a second....did that just come from a die hard Bulldog fan of a few years ago? Anyways, Brigham's team practices for 30 minutes before the game. We were only there for a few minutes when Brigham started coughing up a storm and of course I had forgotten his asthma inhaler. So a mad dash to the house I went! I came back a few minutes after the game started and just as I had suspected, Brigham was fearless! He has never played soccer in his life but he just went after that ball like the active boy that I know. I loved watching him watch the other team members and him yelling, "GO, GO, GO!" Already a team player!

And once again, Levi and Brigham proved that they are complete opposites! This was the best picture I could get of him. Poor kid doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body! Of course that is what I love about my little "lovey dove" but Daddy is having to learn patience with our "in his own little world" boy. He seriously was cracking me up! At one point his team was running up the field towards the goal while he was looking up at the sky, spinning in circles! No joke! Oh, I love that boy!
